Hi
Friend
Words make or
break a business. Say the wrong thing
and you will lose clients, create
industrial disputes or at the very
least make your business a laughing
stock. This week I share one example
of a howler of an email which had me
in fits of giggles for
hours.
So,
in this issue we look at business
writing - and my top 10 tips for
clear business writing.
We
then look at the issue of your
employees writing. Is it is up to
standard? What should you do about
it?
Our
product of the week is one to help
you get the most out of
2010.
