Intended for:


For anyone who needs quality communication in today's business environment, to improve the quality of written communication with clients.

Challenge:

 

On paper, with a pen, we write less nowadays, however, written communication using virtual communication tools is becoming more intense and significant. Relationships with colleagues, clients, stakeholders, business decisions, fundraising and even the existence of a company depend on how effectively you know how to communicate in writing. We write emails, use instant messaging, SMS, we prepare presentations, business plans and reports. We learn to communicate accurately, succinctly, focused, and also - grammatically correct.

We know that:

 

  • The written message forms the all-important first impression of the company;

  • The writing skills of each team member show the company's professionalism, help achieve goals and avoid conflicts;

  • "You will not catch spilled water" - a written message can be a company's gain or loss.

How do we communicate in a business environment today? What are the features, innovations? How to put a message in written words? Which channels to choose? What are the most common mistakes? What is the etiquette of written business communication? How to avoid conflicts? How to resolve conflicts? What are Emoji and what to do with them? Do you know how to write "correctly"? Are commas still needed today?
