Type, Talk, Text...with Tact? - A communication etiquette workshop

presented by Erika Langill of Get Ahead Works

We communicate our messages every day using a variety of devices – cell phones, voicemail, email, and the internet. For some of us, these are the only ways in which we communicate with our clients. Making a good impression and communicating the correct messages are always important in business. But, could you be unknowingly communicating the wrong messages to your customers?

In this interactive workshop, we will discuss:
