Power Session: 10 Steps to Professional E-mails

Emails have changed more in the last decade than most other business habits, and most inboxes haven't kept up.

About the course

This 2-hour Staff Training Power Session, ideal for admin staff, PAs, office clerks, receptionists and secretaries who compile business correspondence daily, covers structuring an email into open-body-close, correctly ordering and naming attachments, writing in plain English, and editing for the right tone. The result: staff who send fewer, clearer, more professional emails.
