Course Description

Course Description

Whether you're in the boardroom, addressing a large group, or one-on-one, the key to getting the deal done is not what you say, but how you say it.  Your ability to communicate effectively creates greater efficiency in your work, and that translates into greater profitability for you and your company.

It doesn't matter how good your social media and data are if you can't communicate effectively in person. You will not win the assignment or close the deal if your delivery is just average. Learn how to turn initial interest into lasting business relationships, recognize the essential ingredients of a memorable meeting, and recognize the key factors in clear and concise communication. 

This 90-minute, instructor-led presentation is designed to give you all the tools you need to win business and then keep it. Communication Skills for Professionals will improve your speaking, listening, telephone, email, texting, and presentation skills, and, in the process, make you more profitable.
