high pressure
Aggressive sales tactic
High pressure describes conditions of elevated force or intensity.
In meteorology, a high-pressure system brings stable, often clear weather.
In physics and engineering, high pressure refers to gases or liquids under significant compression.
Figuratively, high-pressure tactics involve aggressive persuasion or coercion: high-pressure sales techniques, a high-pressure job.
