Description
Sure. Anyone can write an email in the business world today. But can you write ones that increase your chances of a fast response and that build your professional image?
I’ve been conducting business writing workshops in both the private and public sectors for over 15 years, and I’ve listened to the concerns of both senior managers and support staff when it comes to written communications. And the most common complaint today is poorly written emails.
By taking this 90-minute course, you will learn with all sorts of tips for writing powerful, business emails. I’ve divided the course into three sections: What You Should Know About Emails, Writing Style and Tone, and Organization.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who writes emails in the public or private sectors
