This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you how to specifically implement it in business. A well-spoken, intelligent agent inspires confidence with clients and colleagues alike.
This week’s closing word:
Pronounced: (DOO-bee-uhs, DYOO-bee-uhs)
adjective:
1. Marked by doubt.
2. Not to be relied upon; suspect.
Examples:
1. “I’m dubious that the buyer thinks we’ll seriously accept his low offer, so why don’t we counter offer and see what his response is?”
2. “The bank is going to scrutinize the dubious transfer of $40,000 to your checking account, so I urge you to disclose your parents are assisting with the down payment.”
