01/12/2022Hi John:
You are correct on all points of writing successful business articles or communications. The most important factor in writing is the “It” factor. You must have that “It” factor right from the beginning to draw clients in. You must conclude by solving any issues brought up in the communication of potential issues or suggestions to improve one’s ability to be successful.
My Very Best,
Janine Morin Smith
