BUSINESS WRITING
A lot of success in the business can be attributed mainly to correspondence, sales letters, and many types of corporate writing. Imagine a company whose management, employees, and customers cannot communicate due to poor business writing!
"The purpose of business writing is to convey information to someone else or to request information from them. To be effective writing for business, you must be complete, concise, and accurate. Your text should be written in such a way that the reader will be able to easily understand what you are telling or asking them.
A lot of writing for business is sloppy, poorly written, disorganized, littered with jargon, and incomplete. Often it is either too long or too short. All these attributes contribute to ineffective business writing.
Whether you are writing a sales proposal, an email to your department, or an instruction manual for a software package, there are certain steps you need to follow to create effective business writing. You need to:
- organize your material
- consider your audience
- write
- proofread
- and edit your text.
The emphasis on each step may vary, depending on what you are writing, but the steps will be the same."
