•  
• CheckPoint Organizing Information in Messages
• Although all business communication shares some
  common characteristics, differences do exist
  among informative, positive, negative, and
  persuasive messages. For example, in order to
  elicit the most favorable response, it is
  important to determine how to layer the
  information in the message, especially if the
  content is negative. Providing the best possible
  customer service for both internal and external
  audiences hinges on good communication. Because
  writers do not have a second opportunity to
  create a first impression, planning what to say
  and how to say it is an essential step in
  successful business communication.

COM 215 Week 6 CheckPoint Nonverbal and Verbal
Communication

• For more course tutorials visit

•  
• CheckPoint Nonverbal and Verbal Communication
• Nonverbal Communication Listeners glean a large
  portion of meaning from the facial expressions
  and body language of a speaker, which can be both
  an advantage and a disadvantage. For example, it
  is difficult for most of us to conceal emotions
  when delivering an unpleasant message, and it is
  also easy for listeners to misinterpret our
  meaning, especially when communication takes
  place across cultures. Nonverbal cues, personal
  space, and pacing all take on different meanings
  for different individuals. It is important to be
  aware of those meanings, especially in a global
  business environment.
