In this lesson, you’ll learn to tune directness for speed without sacrificing rapport: decode UK hedges, dial claim strength and CTAs, and switch lexis to match audience and urgency. You’ll get a crisp framework, real-world micro-rewrites and dialogue, plus quick drills (MCQs, fill‑ins, error fixes) to lock in the muscle memory. Fast, discreet, and ROI-focused—built for higher reply rates, cleaner meetings, and fewer tone misfires.
