Effective business communication
Seeking to persuade someone to your point of view, which is what any company is doing, when you think about it, then you’re using communication to persuade that person or another company around to your ways of thinking. There are a mass of tools that we are able to use as part of that. And marketing’s critical to that, but then you’ve got other methods that you would be using. Looking at what is great now, which is content, content that influences, content that persuades, content that provides value. Hence, effective business communication is really that very broad glue.
