¿Qué es una muletilla?
En general, son palabras o frases que son repetidas con frecuencia por el interlocutor quien intenta plantear una idea para la cual no encuentra o no tiene las palabras necesarias o acertadas. Las muletillas si son usadas repetitivamente pueden empobrecer el idioma y la comunicación ya que son expresiones innecesarias que no llevan implícito ningún valor o contenido informativo. Estas frases suelen ser vacía y sin sentido ya que se emplean solo por hábito.

¿Cuál es su significado? 
Según el diccionario de la Real Academia Española define muletilla como “voz o frase que se repite mucho por hábito“. Es decir, es una palabra o una frase innecesaria que se repite en una conversación, por costumbre o como apoyo al hablar. 

En realidad, puedes eliminar las muletillas de la frase y no cambia el sentido, mira estos ejemplos:

1. ¿Sabes hablar español, no?
-   Sabes hablar español?

2. A ver, yo te entiendo pero tú sabes, es complicado…
-   Yo te entiendo pero es complicado…

3. El otro día fuimos a cenar en plan todos los amigos juntos.
-   El otro día fuimos a cenar todos los amigos juntos.

Aunque sean innecesarias y sean repetitivas, esto no quiere decir que no se usen en el DÍA A DÍA. La realidad es que todos tenemos preferencias propias en cuanto a las muletillas, normalmente no las elegimos, sino que nos las vamos apropiando conforme nos vamos relacionando con los hablantes nativos.

En definitiva, las muletillas son una pieza más del puzle de la comunicación y del Español.

Is Your Introduction Repelling Your Dream Job? Stop Begging and Start COMMANDING Attention!

Let’s be blunt: Your introduction is either a powerful weapon or a pathetic weakness. Are you sounding like a timid pushover, or a confident COMPETITION CRUSHER who’s about to steal the show?

Truth is, most job seekers are UTTERLY FORGETTABLE. They drone on with the same tired clichés, blending into the background like wallpaper.

What makes YOU different? What makes the hiring manager absolutely OBSESSED with having you on their team?

If you can’t answer that, you’re DEAD IN THE WATER.

This isn’t about “looking professional.” It’s about projecting POWER, AUTHORITY, and undeniable VALUE that leaves the competition in the dust.

In this recording, I’ll hand you the exact phrases you need to inject into your system NOW to transform your introduction into a high-impact sales pitch.

LISTEN UP: This isn’t for the faint of heart. This is about crafting an introduction that DEMANDS attention, builds instant rapport, and leaves the hiring manager begging you to accept the job.

Listen, drill these phrases, and build your own arsenal of words. Because in today’s cutthroat job market, you either DOMINATE or you DISAPPEAR.

Time to stop sounding like everyone else and start projecting the UNSTOPPABLE force you really are.

Are you ready to finally make the hiring person fall in love with you, or are you going to let another opportunity slip through your fingers? The choice is yours.

But let’s face it, you are here, because you want to win it all. No participation trophies, no second place…

Are you ready to have more people want to hire you?

(P.S. This recording is NOT for those who are satisfied with mediocrity. If you’re looking for fluff, go somewhere else. This is for serious action-takers who are ready to DOMINATE.)
