Strategic Business Writing
Gaea Honeycutt discussed writing strategies specifically for the writing weary and faint at heart during the Women's Network of Springfield luncheon on March 14. She shared how only a few painful forays into the realm of writing can:
- help to establish your expertise,
- increase your website SEO, and
- provide value-added content to your customers or clients.
Participants learned how to create strategic documents, where to use them, and how to repackage them. For a copy of the slide presentation, contact Gaea at pointpage@honeycuttconsulting.us.
