Want business writing training from the company used by The Economist?

You probably know that good business writing is a core brand value for The Economist.

When The Economist Group, the parent company of The Economist, wanted a business writing training company to help their commercial staff improve their writing skills, they came to Write for Results.

Now we’d like to offer you business writing training for your staff. Let us prove we can boost their confidence and writing abilities overnight.

Nine ways our business writing training and copywriting training boosts your skills ... for emails, reports, sales letters, proposals ...

First, we listen to you while you tell us your needs. Then we choose two of our specialist writing trainers who are best suited to meet your goals for the training.

On the day, we show delegates how to:

1. Focus on the reader

2. Create powerful plans

3. Write compelling headlines

4. Grab – and hold – attention

5. Create reader rapport

6. Use punctuation correctly

7. Avoid common mistakes

8. Edit and check their work

9. Get better results overall

Interactivity, participation and arousal: keeping learners engaged

Everyone gets to share their thoughts and ideas, on their own and in groups.

Our workshops are for marketing and sales people, commercial managers, consultants, HR, production, IT or finance managers. In short, anyone who needs to persuade, influence or sell using the written word.

We pay particular attention to the learning process. With two trainers on each workshop we change over every 45 minutes to maintain arousal and interest levels.

Your people also enjoy a higher learner:trainer ratio than the typical one-trainer course. And we give FREE one-to-one coaching for every delegate.

Three steps to better business writing

Our workshops follow the natural three-stage process of writing itself:

1 Before you write – from researching your reader to planning and structure

2 While you’re writing – from word choice to tone of voice and punctuation power

3 After you’ve written – from editing to proofreading and checking readability

Practising what we preach

During the day, delegates take part in practical writing exercises.

These raise their awareness of good writing and give them the chance to put the theory into practice.

The exercises involve role-play; quick quizzes on Plain English; and rewriting typical ‘management speak’.

PLUS either creative copywriting or drafting an email or other business document they’d normally write at work.

It’s clear that you know your subject back to front, but what sets you apart is your deep understanding of communication in combination with language, and how to write for the audience.
