Words like 'Input' 'Output' and 'Feedback' seemed to emerge from electronic and computer jargon and infiltrated into a trendy way of speaking in the eighties. Personally, I'd rather use more traditional terms like 'view' or 'perspective'.

I completely agree. Using Business speak is rapidly going out of fashion, due to Plain English campaigns. People hate the phrase "thinking outside the box" and related nonsense. Opinion is a far better word than input.

I agree with your 'opinion' on this.

I prefer the traditional phrase "I look forward to hearing from you". This phrase has stood the test of time and carries a clear and polite message. During the internet boom in the late 1990's and early 2000's some young guys tried to outdo each other in meetings by saying words and terms that even they themselves did not understand. Those meetings were meaningless and it was emperor's new clothes by pretending to be too clever. I learned the words "input" and "output" in the 1970's in my engineering degree course, in addition to "escalation". All these words have evolved in the last forty years. Anyway, language is evolving all the time, just like fashion. My late dad used to tell me that what I was wearing was outdated because he had worn something similar in his youth.

I think her advice is poor actually. “I look forward to hearing from you” does what it says on the tin. It’s not pushy at all. it simply reminds the recipient that the ball is in their court. All this “input” stuff is cold, just like the presenter! If you want to - just say please let me have your views/thoughts.

agree. "... hearing from you" is broader in meaning, it could be that your counterpart is not to provide input (yet) but could recommend another party, request more time to evaluate the situation, process something, etc... Just "the ball is in your court" as you said. Whereas 'input' is concrete input to the case... more demanding, I think.

Rocky 57......Totally agree! I see nothing wrong at all with 'Looking forward to hearing from you' [in my experience - most business people rarely read that far down a business communication anyway!!] Maybe it's a little perfunctory - but it does the job! On the other hand, if someone asked for my 'input' on something I would see THAT as a little bit 'pushy'. [maybe you could soften this by saying something like - 'I would appreciate/welcome your input on....']. But I still think that overall 'input' is too impersonal and cold. [pretty much like the presenter as you point out!]. Business is often about relationships and respect [eg; the person's time]. As the reader, would I want to do business or develop a relationship with someone that wants my 'input' on things all the time? However, my biggest problem with this presenter is that she is an 'English Teacher' - and again in my experience, English teachers know absolutely zero about business!

Agree completely. It is certainly not pushy at all. It is polite, and firm, and can be easily embellished to put a little pressure on the recipient. It also covers any topic, even those not requiring input, but action.

This so well explained, thank you! As a tradesman, I have no formal training in business. Yet with the advent of digital field tech over the last couple of decades, It has become increasingly necessary to correspond directly with the shiny shoes people. Signoff has been a particular struggle as it is rarely clear which level of management I am directing my communication toward (typically a half-dozen cc's attached to an email) The push-prompt mentioned at the last of the video is too genius.👊

Personally I don't think “looking forward to hearing from you“ is pushy. At least, not compared with "I want the damn report on my table in five minutes!"

Hi Teacher, great video and great advice! I will obey you, do: I look forward to see you on your wonderful videos soon! Greeting from south america, We are starting our autumn next week Regards

Great stuff, thanks!

As a fellow Biz English trainer I don´t agree that input/feedback can replace ´I look forward to hearing from you (soon)´ in every case. Input/ feedback are much more context specific - when for example someone´s opinion/views are sought - and cannot imho be used when a simple reply is all that is required. ´I await your response with interest´could be a better general alternative?

Good advice.

You are absolutely exquisite.

Thanks for your suggestion. Every lesson has note on my website.

I keep it simple. When I switched from written letters to email I ended "Regards" instead of Yours sincerely, Occasionally I switch to Best Wishes. The text of the message would make it clear whether I am commenting, seeking a reply or complaining without expecting a helpful response. To friends some think it important that I address threm by name first, others let you go straight into the message. As a lot of business people people start toff "Hi Martin", do not worry too much about being formal! MT

This video is silly. "Looking forward to hearing from you" is still very much used in every day business. I've written hundreds of business letters - a pretty large percentage of those using this expression. There are alternatives, but don't take her advice on dumping it in favour of other expressions. It's still very much in use, and still used most of the time for the purpose.

Good morning Jade-Greetings from New Zealand. I've looked at your tutorial page and noticed [Scroll down]. To me, that is an order. May I suggest "Scroll down please" which in my opinion is congruent with the ethology of your presentation?

I'm a native English speaker (American) but have never liked that phrase either. I appreciate these suggestions, particularly the casual and confident ones.

As a native...with many years experience in business (and life)..I can assure any non natives watching this ..Looking forward to ..Look forward to you...is not only perfectly acceptable...but the best way to finish a letter or email. Unfortunately these millennial wannabe "English" teachers usually don't have a clue..pretty face though!!

Fully you are my favourite English teacher and speaker. I like your accent. Please teacher jade could you explain to me the different between RP accent and cockney. And what's the accent are you speaking now. Hearted thanks

Hi jade, good to see you As always, every time I watch your videos, I learn something new I really like your videos Thank you very much for your support, my dear teacher 😉🇧🇷 Take care

No, I think as a general good-bye phrase, that's too specific. In some cases it's a great alternative, but usually, you don't wait for a person's input, but you just wait for their mail. It's not necessarily input to anything.

Hi Jade.

Hi Jade, thank you for your video. I was wandering if that's common and not considered as a mistake to put into an e-mail "hear from you" rather then "read from you". I know it's a phrase but still it doesn't feel right when you're expecting to receive an e-mail rather than a phone call. I'll appreciate if you addressed that. Thanks!

I was miilssing your nice voice and accent. Your beauty as well of course.

Perspective is much more appropriate than ‘input’ unless you are writing to a computer!

I think you're my favourite English teacher. I found you late today. My bad

Interesting video.To get action I used to tell them what I wanted to do and then close with - If you don't reply by XX I shall assume that you agree. My favourite reply to my friends is: Hoping this finds you as it leaves me.

Point taken. 'You'd be nice to come home to' has rarely worked for me.
