Do you want to make sure you’re presenting a professional image of your organisation?
Do you want to make sure that your emails aren’t misunderstood?
Do you need to build a relationship with your customers over email?
The challenge of meeting internal and external customers’ expectations requires the ability to perceive customer requirements and respond appropriately. When much of the work is done via email, clear and concise communication is imperative.
When you write an email, you are not only communicating information to another person – you are presenting yourself, in writing. People judge you not only for the accuracy and completeness of your written communications, but also for the way it is put across.
The course will help you develop a fluent style of writing, to help overcome common difficulties with email writing, and to inspire confidence in producing professional emails.
You will benefit from this course if you need to use email as your primary communication tool with internal or external customers.
