Ever wondered why we often confuse old-fashioned, formal language with professionalism? The truth is, most people prefer friendly, conversational communication that feels real and relatable.
Here’s the key:
Keep it simple and real. Write as you speak, and say what you mean. Worried it might not sound professional enough? Let’s put it to the test.
Instead of: “Herewith, please find attached, contract for your perusal. Kindly revert as soon as possible.”
Try: “Please find the contract attached here. Kindly look through it and get back to me at your earliest convenience.”
See how a friendly, approachable tone doesn’t sacrifice professionalism? Your readers will appreciate it, and you’ll build stronger connections in the process!
Let’s make the shift towards more authentic, reader-friendly communication. Embrace the power of conversational writing
