The ability to write well may not rank high among your priorities, but communicating effectively with employees, suppliers, customers, and prospective clients is critically important for small-business owners.
Think of all the ways in which you communicate with people in writing — email, business correspondence, blogs, presentations, press releases, marketing copy, and so on. Are you sure that you’re saying what you want to say and that others understand you? A lack of clarity can cost you time and money.
So, how do you improve your business writing? Reviewing the basics and taking a little time to practice — and edit yourself — can make a big difference in how well you communicate with others.
