Business Writing Solutions
A letter to you from Business Writing Solutions' Business Writing Expert, Jonathan Clark:
As we all know, our work environment has changed, forever.
The proliferating PC and vanishing secretary have made everyone a writer, by default.
People often labor over important documents for hours and hours, trying to get them right. Other documents get little or no attention; we simply write, send and hope.
"Faster and better writing means MORE time for People, People, and People!"

The typical North American knowledge worker spends 10 hours per week writing. That's anywhere from 43 percent to 67 percent TOO MUCH, because people use ineffective writing techniques that waste their time and often produce bad results.
Every day, people form opinions about your organization from the written material they receive from its employees-letters, faxes, memos and e-mail. More people, in fact, than read the brochures, press releases and web pages you pay experts tens of thousands to write.
That writing impacts your organization's mission, because many documents are unclear, full of "business-ese," contain grammatical and usage errors, or are just plain boring.
In addition,
most people would rather do almost anything at work instead of sitting
down to write. According to surveys, the number one fear of college freshmen
today is: Freshman English! On the job, it's not much better, because
people frequently dislike the process and the results. Believe me, it
shows in the writing they create! And, by the way, when was the last time
anyone in your organization received help polishing writing skills (skills
we use every day)? The answer for most of us: college or high school.
I have a solution! It's Business Writing Solutions! Follow the links for more details on this program: why you need it, an outline of the content of this two-day workshop, and a form to determine actual bottom-line benefit (in increased productivity or lower writing costs) to your company.
