About the Event


Seminar Description

In today’s environment, emails are by far the most commonly used communication method in the workplace. With an increase in reliance on connecting remotely, clients and colleagues expect your emails to be clear and concise. This webinar is focused on giving you the tools to write effective emails. We’ll cover key topics, including:

  • Writing for technical and non-technical audiences;
  • Having clear subject lines;
  • Structuring your emails—using a direct approach for maximum impact;
  • Incorporating clear topic sentences;
  • Using headings, tables, and lists effectively; and
  • Writing persuasively.

We’ll also review effective and ineffective sample emails, and provide you with key tips and techniques you can immediately apply to your writing.
