English term or phrase:dynamic(s)
can you please give me some synonyms and some explanations about thi word in the contexts below. can mechanism be a good synonym????
"And evidencing your expertise, your comprehension of the dynamics, and your unique skillsets, let me tell you how I have managed to help the following attorneys who are already confidentlyreferring to me. (If you have a track record of success and case win rates, give them that informa-tion here...)"
"Secondly, in this dynamic of trying to use one asset to boost the sales of another, it would link them together morelogically, emotionally too, and make that an easier process."
"What is the minimal amount of effortof human capital of risk that I can engineer out of the deal so that anybody I went to would be moreinclined to say yes than no because the up and down side dynamics was so appealing?"
"I have a lot of experience that says it will, but I don't know enough about thedynamics of your market."
"They will knowa lot more about their rights, their opportunities, about the dynamics, how it really works, how it im-pacts them, and we will give them some other information that expands past that."
"It's very interesting, the deal, you can almost give phones away free, tell them the dynamics,it's very interesting the phone would be the cost of acquisition and the monthly service is the realrevenue generator."
"What if you walked up to potential clients and said, let me just tell you our philosophy. Letme tell you the whole dynamics of the business."
"We want to be brought in and we want to start our dialogue and just seeing how we can helpyou, not proving that we can help you. We know we can help if the dynamics are there. You have totrust that we can and that we're honorable and uniquely externally ethical."
"You've really never let enough of a law ofaverages or the dynamics work for you, and just from your own admission you're an extraordinarilygifted and recognized expert, but you are the salesperson, the expert, the scheduler.What I'm say-ing to you is you haven't given yourself a shot."
"No business stays static for a very long time. It either grows or regresses. Either one haswithin it dynamics that require them to reconsider the training issue."
"And then use that as your model and when that works goforward and you'll have some standardized inserts that you'll use that will have to be changed be-cause of the economic dynamics of a fluid marketplace, but it's a powerful premise."
"How much more, I don't know, but they'd probably get, just through the dynamics of thediffering positioning they would have in the market, 10% to 20% more effective."
Explanation: I agree with Jack that there are a lot of words for word's sake! I would take dynamics ( a fairy horrible word in its own right) to mean processes and interactions between individuals/organisations, but why use a simple word when a complex one is available!
FOR ionutzavram. Thanks for getting back to me. Spoken language is almost always so different than written language. It does have to be handled in one way for meaning, and in a different way if one has the job of cleaning it up, so to speak.
I think that the writer (or more probably a speaker), means dynamics in at least this segment:
"No business stays static for a very long time. It either grows or regresses. Either one has within it dynamics that require them to reconsider the training issue."
That idea of dynamic vs static is real and legitimate.
So I don't think that either a synonym, or merely dropping the word entirely will work. Mechanism does not work because dynamic, both in its scientific sense, and its more casual sense, always implies change in oppostion to a fixed mechanism.
I agree with Barbara that it is very poorly written, and it sounds to me like the transcript of a conversation. The speaker is either a non native or someone who speaks in a street version of English.
It would help to know 1. If the asker is editing a translation and 2. If this is a transcript of something spoken.
It's hot air and the sentences would be much clearer if you leave out 'dynamics'. Prime example: "I have a lot of experience that says it will, but I don't know enough about your market." Sounds more honest too.
However, I'm very much afraid it WAS written by a native speaker. There are none of the signs of a non-native speaker. Of course, not all native speakers know how to put words on paper in a logical fashion.
These extracts show over-use of the word dynamics to replace many more pertinent choices in poorly structured, rambling sentences with little semantic content. I can only assume this is a transcript of the output of a drunk who seized control of the lectern at some symposium for would-be marketeers. I hope he got jail time for gratuitous misuse of the English language in a public place.
It's just excess verbiage. Consider some of these with the word omitted.
"And evidencing your expertise, your comprehension and your unique skillsets, let me tell you how I have managed to help the following attorneys who are already confidently referring to me. (If you have a track record of success and case win rates, give them that informa-tion here...)"
"Secondly, in thus trying to use one asset to boost the sales of another, it would link them together more logically, emotionally too, and make that an easier process."
"What is the minimal amount of effort of human capital of risk that I can engineer out of the deal so that anybody I went to would be more inclined to say yes than no because the ups and downs were so appealing?"
"I have a lot of experience that says it will, but I don't know enough about your market."
"They will know a lot more about their rights, their opportunities, about how it really works, how it impacts them, and we will give them some other information that expands past that."
I don't think that loses any meaning worth mentioning.
