Overview/Description
How often have you or one of your colleagues stayed at work late to finish an important report or proposal to meet a deadline? Then two days later you receive a call from the intended recipient asking you where the report is. You faxed it over and it got lost in their fax room. Now you've missed the benefit of having met your deadline. This familiar scenario illustrates the importance of selecting an appropriate document type and delivery method for your written business documents. "Getting the Most from Business Documents" explains the different business document types such as memos, reports, and proposals and the best uses for each. The course shows you how to align the message content, document type, and delivery method--Internet, fax, mail, courier, and so on--so that your business documents receive the right level of attention and achieve their designated purpose. Independent topics address five of the most commonly used business documents. You work hard on your business writing. Don't waste that effort with careless choice of document type or inappropriate delivery method. Learn how to prepare, lay out, and deliver business documents that reflect well on you and your company.
