Does Business Writing Matter Any More?

Post 

Business writing is still critical to a business and, therefore, should be clear and grammatically correct. With multiple technology devices that people use while expressing themselves in a written form communication, there are dozens of mistakes and errors that make it difficult for the customers and business affiliates to understand the business content. In this sense, writing clearly with minimal grammar mistakes still stands toll as the best way to win not only customers but also other business partners. A company that encourages clear and grammatically correct writing stands a chance to have the best adverts, and this places them in a high position to be competitive with their promotion campaign. 

With better skills in writing, job adverts and descriptions could attract the best candidates than when they have a lot of grammar mistakes. Furthermore, a company needs to brand its products in the best manner possible to win and retain customers. A product that has its brand name misspelled could repel customers instead of attracting them. Furthermore, clear writing means that people will easily understand each other from their written expression, and this will help in creating a cohesive team that respects each other. Finally, clear writing with limited grammar mistakes also stands toll as the best way to show respect to the leaders and colleagues in the organization. All these points prove that despite the technology ruining written communication, it still matters for organization success. 

Student Response 

I agree with you, Jordan Mills, that in the manner that body language communicates a lot about people, a written document can also be a tool to asses a person’s communication style, personality, and ethics. You claim that a customer is likely to respond positively to a well-written email. It is true because a well-written document to a person means respect and value of the interaction and is more likely to be taken seriously than a poorly written report.
