I can seriously recommend NOT sharing your tricks of the trade on a public footie based chat forum.

I work in IT, "have you tried turning it off and on again" doesn't actually do anything but gives us a chance to google your problem while you are re-starting your PC.

Smile at the director, nod at the director, agree with the director. Then do exactly what you were going to do in the first place.

When you write a sentence, try to use words that contain no more than two syllables. Damn it!

A main trick of the trade would be not to give away the tricks of the trade.

Hither (sometimes Thither)
I take calls for a chunk of the day. I tell whoever is on the other end that i'll get the matter urgently sorted and remove the worry from their minds. I sign off the call with the name Barry Hinds, which isn't my name, return the receiver to its cradle, and then log on here to think of the next foolish thing to say, performing no professional task at all. The secret of good customer service is to deceive and mislead effectively and speedily so the whingeing botherers arse off and i can get back on with my life.

If you ever have need of an accountant or a lawyer, always tell them the complete truth. They can't do their job properly if you don't.

Measure twice, cut once. After all, you can cut a bit off but you can't cut a bit on.

When I worked in A&E and needed a break from the grind I would walk around purposefully with a clipboard looking at things on shelves and scribbling a load of bollocks.

That, my friends is why you wait for hours in there..all the medics are doing the same thing....oh, and eating sweets and checking their Facebook.
