1 overcome: "To overcome" is to conquer or triumph over. It is possible to overcome a problem, a fear, an opponent or a handicap. Example: In order to become a pilot, I had to OVERCOME my fear of flying. In the dialogue, Trey writes, "it takes approximately 6 favorable impressions to overcome 1 unfavorable impression". This means that it takes 6 good customer experiences to "defeat" or triumph over (and forget) 1 bad experience.
2 inconvenience: An "inconvenience" is a trouble, difficulty or annoyance. Example: Lack of cinemas is one of the INCONVENIENCES of living in the county. In the guide, Trey talks about apologizing for customers' inconvenience. This is a very common use of the term: we often say phrases such as, "sorry for the INCONVENIENCE" or "please accept our apologies for any INCONVENIENCE".
3 digress: "To digress" is to deviate from the principal subject of an article, conversation or meeting. Example: It was an interesting presentation, but the speaker kept DIGRESSING to talk about his holiday in Greece. In the guide, Trey writes, "If there were no business, well then, I'd probably still be cooking soup for old people at the senior center, but I digress." He says "I digress" to acknowledge that he is moving away from the main topic of the article.
