Business Writing Skills

One Day

To be successful at any level in business it is necessary to write well. People need to be able to inform and persuade others; to relay information about their products, solutions, views and recommendations. On paper and on screen the skills of clear, relevant and punchy expression are essential to your company image.

Every letter, every e-mail and every report should be efficient and instantly understood. However, without the right training many people are unsure of themselves when they sit down to write.

Writers must be able to get their message across clearly, without misunderstanding or confusion. Those who write well have learned that there are distinct steps in the process of moving from the blank page to the finished document.

This high impact, practical course takes your people through those same steps. Participants learn how to organise their thinking, marshall their ideas and structure their work. They discover new ways to write with conviction and impact. They improve their ability to hold the reader’s attention. They learn to persuade and to motivate. And above all they learn to save time.

The programme highlights the new reader-centred reality of business correspondence and is suitable for all who are required to communicate with the written word.
