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? Could
you potentially lose a sale, or even a customer, because
your email message was misunderstood, or your voice did not
convey a certain tone when responding to a client over the
phone? In this interactive workshop, we will discuss:
|
How Communication Works...and Why
Communication Sometimes Fails. |
|
Ways in Which to Make a Great Impression
Over the Phone and Through Email |
|
Telephone, Voicemail, and Internet
Etiquette |
|
The Importance of Verbal and Vocal
Communication, and Tips to Improve Both Areas |

much more!! |
