From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

Christian Based Selling:

In the professional world there are many situations in which swearing is acceptable and can even be the norm.  As professional sales people we are frequently involved in high stress conversations regarding the status of our pipeline or a particular deal.  If we allow our emotions to rule our mouth we might express ourselves in a way inconsistent with our Christian values.   

Beyond language, we need to examine our own words to check our heart in both our personal and professional life.   Words have power and if they are venomous we must ask ourselves why.   

How and what are you saying?  What do your words reveal about you?  Do you need a change of heart?  Do you need to reign in your tongue?
