Business Writing 101, Part 1

People ask me all the time for a couple of quick writing tips that everyone in business needs. Here are a couple:

Write how you speak. Do your emails and letters sound like you? Effective business writing doesn’t need to be formal to read well. In fact, most readers understand what you’re saying much better when you speak as you would in a normal conversation.

Out with it! Make your point early, because if you make people wade through continuous paragraphs of copy before getting to what you’re trying to say, you’re a goner.

Don't use words you don't know. Using impressive words occasionally is fine, but if you use one of those big important sounding words the wrong way, readers will see right through it and you. This applies to slang words as well.
