Hello everyone! I hope you can help. I have this phrase as the name of a chapter in Sales Management that talks about communication, but I don't have any other reference. Any idea of how I can translate it?
Thank you!

pocas palabras con mucho sentido
My suggestion is really just to give you an idea of what I'm getting at, you'll probably find a much better way of expressing it.
For your info, the title of the movie in Spanish is Torpedo:
Pelicula: TORPEDO - DVD - RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP
Pelicula: TORPEDO. Título original: RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP ... Consiguiendo momentos de tensión nunca superados, TORPEDO, es la mejor película del género ...

However, I don't think this is going to be of much use to you in your context. To me your phrase suggests communications that are economical on words but deep in meaning, i.e. that managers shouldn't overdo the talking bit but should carefully choose words to convey what's really important for them to say.
Good luck!
