The Approval Engine: 30 Copy/Paste Scripts for Corporate Professionals

You know the feeling.

You send a perfectly reasonable request. Then... nothing.

Days pass. You follow up. "Just checking in!" Still nothing.

Meanwhile, your project stalls. Your timeline slips. Your credibility takes the hit.

It's not your fault. You were never taught how to write messages that force decisions.

Introducing The Approval Engine

30 copy/paste scripts designed by someone who spent years watching senior operators get instant responses while everyone else waited.

The difference isn't authority. It's language.

What's Inside

30 Situation-Specific Cards Each card includes:

• ✓ The situation (so you know exactly when to use it)
• ✓ What NOT to say (the mistakes that kill your credibility)
• ✓ Slack script (under 240 characters, copy/paste ready)
• ✓ Email script (professional, forwardable)
• ✓ Decision Closer (one line that forces action)
• ✓ Risk-Safe Line (for high-stakes conversations)
• ✓ Why it works (so you learn the principle, not just the words)

The Difference

Weak:

"Hey! Just checking in on this. Wanted to see if you had a chance to review. Let me know your thoughts when you get a chance!"

Operator:

"Proceeding with Option A Thursday unless I hear otherwise. Happy to adjust if priorities changed."

Same request. Completely different energy. One waits. One moves.
