THIS COURSE PROVIDES CLEAR, IMPACTFUL AND POWERFUL BUSINESS WRITING TRAINING, FOCUSSING ON THE CORRESPONDENCE NECESSARY IN THE WORKPLACE.
TRAINING OVERVIEW
In all business situations—business-to-business , business-to-client and inter-office—writing is the main form of communication. Does your team continually find their message gets ‘lost in translation’ amongst a chain of emails? Are customers constantly in touch because they are confused about how things work? Are the daily missives sent by your team to colleagues, customers, partners and suppliers helping or hindering the growth of your organisation?
The skill of writing well is as important as ever. WeTrain’s Effective And Efficient Business Correspondence training will ensure that your team’s writing—whether in emails, letters or notes—creates a positive and lasting first impression.
The skills and training within the course will help attendees to structure and plan writing, adopt an appropriate tone and use the correct grammar and punctuation.
What You’ll Learn
Like all WeTrain’s courses, our Effective And Efficient Business Correspondence course is designed specifically around your individual business needs. This means each course is slightly different but here’s an idea of what it is likely to cover:

THE BENEFITS OF EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE FOR YOU AND YOUR ORGANISATION
Your staff are some of your company’s greatest assets and are essential in achieving your business goals and targets. To do this, they need to be able to communicate efficiently and effectively with their colleagues, customers, partners and suppliers. WeTrain’s ‘Effective And Efficient Business Correspondence’ program will ensure that your team develops and hones skills to improve direct and indirect communication with customers and fellow staff members.
The benefits of taking WeTrain’s course are numerous and specific to each company. However, we commonly receive feedback about these particular benefits:
- Better communication increases business prospects and improves relationships with new and potential clients.
- Fine-tuning your team’s business writing will increase productivity rates and reduces time dealing with misunderstandings.
- Business writing will ensure your first impression counts—each and every time.
- When equipped with the skills to write quickly and effectively your team will be less frustrated and be able to collaborate more effectively.
- Attendees will be able to create succinct and compelling internal and external communications.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND EVERYDAY BUSINESS WRITING BASICS TRAINING?
Nearly every person in your organisation will need to write an email or send a note at some stage during the working week. Unfortunately, very few people find that writing comes naturally. Our Effective and Efficient Business Correspondence programs benefit everyone of all skill levels. CEOs often attend the course alongside frontline team members.
Team members in the following categories are particularly likely to benefit:
- Staff members who deal directly with customers and the public
- Teams collaborating on internal projects
- Any of your sales staff from sales support to sales professionals
- Members of your customer service team
- Your organisation’s ambassadors
- All members of management and team leaders
- All members of your executive team
As all our courses are tailor-made for your organisation, we will develop a course to any level and audience. Just let us know your requirements.
HOW IS THE COURSE DELIVERED?
WeTrain’s Effective And Efficient Business Correspondence course is generally presented as an engaging, interactive and fun one-day program, however we can tailor the content to present a shorter session for conferences and eventS.
To ensure your training is relevant to your organisation and circumstances, we undertake an initial consultation, where we assess the skill level of your attendees, address your desired outcomes and find out valuable information about your company and its current set-up.
Remember, it’s your course, so you get to decide where it takes place. We are happy to teach WeTrain’s Business Writing program either from your workplace or a venue of your choice.
CONVENIENT TRAINING AT YOUR PREMISES OR OFF-SITE
WeTrain can come to your office if you have the right space and facilities to host your training, or we can talk about off-site venues to conduct your training.
WHAT ARE IDEAL COURSE NUMBERS?
Our courses are typically ‘hands-on’, so we suggest keeping numbers to a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 people. This allows our trainer to interact with your entire team yet still have enough time to allow for one-to-one interactions.
If your group exceeds 12, we will happily structure your training program to meet the needs of a larger audience. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
