Idiom Focus: Business Idioms 30

Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words.

ballpark figure/estimate: estimate; especially, a rough estimate.

Example:

The warehouse needs a new forklift. Can you give me a ballpark estimate as to what it would cost to replace the old one?

come on strong: have a forceful personality, be overly passionate about something.

Example:

Jack can come on a bit strong at times, but he’s our best salesman. He just gets a little carried away.
