Most of us learned the ins and outs of writing, basic grammar, and sentence structure in high school.  But do you really think that your writing is good enough to convince someone to buy your product, to switch from the competition to you, or to effectively express the meaning of what you are trying to communicate?  It is possible, but the truth is that most business people don’t have the writing skills to do the job as effectively as a professional writer and that’s why they hire others to do the writing.

People tend to learn as much as possible at what they specialize in.  Athletes are in the business of pushing their bodies to the limits so that they can excel at their chosen sport.  But they don’t necessarily have the knowledge they need to find out how to do that.  That is why they hire nutritionists, physical trainers, coaches, and other professionals that are focused on bringing it all together.  Likewise, writers learn as much as they can about the art of written communications so that they can help business people succeed in their chosen profession.

Here are some of the things that writers can do to improve your written communications:

• Say what needs to be said in as little words as possible.  Let’s face it – people are not big readers these days so if something can be said more effectively in 5 sentences than in 10 sentences a writer will minimize extra words so that the reader will focus on what is important.
• Avoid grammar, spelling mistakes, cliches and other writing blunders that will cause the reader to lose faith in your business or get distracted from the real message.
• Project the image that you wish to portray to clients and potential clients.  A good writer can manipulate words so that the reader will get a specific message.
• Focus on the writing – the writer’s job is to just write.  They aren’t thinking about the customer that came in earlier with a complaint or the meeting that they need to get to in an hour.  They are focused on writing the text just the way you need it to be written.

Remember that one person can not be everything.  Any successful business person knows that part of the success of a business is knowing when to do it yourself and when to outsource to someone that is specialized.  So the next time you sit down to write a sales letter, write some text for a brochure, or write a press release, stop and think – are you really the best person for the job?  If you are, that’s great; but if not, consider hiring a professional writer.
