[Includes Examples] 37 Dictionary Registration Phrases Collected from Top Salespeople

What I want to convey in this note


Dictionary registration is something we often put off. Actually, it has these benefits.

1 Time-saving effect: Cut email creation time in half
2 Quality improvement: Zero typos and formatting errors, increasing reliability
3 Work from anywhere: Make effective use of travel time with one-handed input

Example
(ar) Thank you very much
(ks) Understood
(mu) I am very sorry
(on) Please do
(os) Thank you for your continued support
(ot) Thank you for your hard work
(sm) Excuse me
(sy) I understand
(yr) I look forward to working with you

*Please use your preferred characters inside the parentheses.

*This article is self-study material for sales representatives (players).
We recommend training with the practical exercises at the end of the text.


I will explain in detail what this means.


"Thank you for your continued support. This is Yamada from Co., Ltd. ◯◯"
How many seconds does it take you to type this one sentence?

Sales emails, chats, daily reports, proposals... The difference between you and top salespeople is not just "negotiation skills." In fact, typing speed greatly influences your results.

You take 3 hours in total to write daily emails, while your senior colleague finishes in 1 hour. The difference is not typing speed, but simply whether or not they use dictionary registration.


What is dictionary registration in the first place?


Dictionary registration is a feature that allows you to call up long, frequently used sentences with short characters. For example, it's that convenient feature where typing "ose" converts to "Thank you for your continued support."
I can hear you saying, "I know that," but the problem is whether you are mastering it. Top salespeople register an average of over 50 words. How many have you registered?


Change your sales life with just 5 minutes of setup


The impact of dictionary registration is not actually just about typing speed.

Effect 1: "Text communication becomes lightning fast"
Utilizing dictionary registration dramatically improves the speed of conversations in emails and chats.

Registration examples:
"ose" -> "Thank you for your continued support."
"kabu" -> "Co., Ltd."
"ado" -> "Your email address"

By typing just 2-3 characters, over 20 characters appear instantly. Email replies that used to take 5 minutes each can now be finished in 2 minutes. If you send 20 emails a day, that's 1 hour saved.
With this 1 hour, you can go on one more sales call.


Effect 2: "Unexpected byproduct: Typo reduction"
There is another great benefit to dictionary registration. It is that it reduces typos and notation errors.

This is because once you register the correct notation, it will be converted accurately every time you use it thereafter. You will be free from embarrassing mistakes like "Thank you for your continued support" (with a typo) or "Company Inc." (with a typo).

Be especially careful with company names and product names. Whether it is "XX Co., Ltd." or "Co., Ltd. XX," you won't have to worry once you register it. You can also prevent the worst-case scenario of getting a client's company name wrong.


Effect 3: "Enables one-handed text input"

This is a particularly welcome effect for salespeople.
Replying to urgent emails on your smartphone while on the train or holding documents... dictionary registration proves its worth in such scenes. Since you can call up long sentences with just 2-3 characters, you can do your work sufficiently with one hand.

Commuting time and travel time turn into "work time." Just with this, you will gain 30 minutes of free time per day.


Summary: 3 Revolutions Brought by Dictionary Registration


1 Time-saving effect: Email creation time cut in half → Over 60 hours saved per year
2 Quality improvement: Increased reliability with zero typos/notation errors
3 Work anywhere: Make effective use of travel time with one-handed input

This much return for just 5 minutes of setup. Is there any reason not to do it?
