People regularly struggle with writing reports and proposals and this one-day course offers the techniques and tools they need to master this type of writing. Whether this involves producing a report on a product analysis, inventory, feasibility studies, or something else, report writing is a skill that will be used again and again.

In Writing Reports and Proposals, participants will learn four stages of report writing, and nine tips for effective writing that will help them create materials that are engaging and understandable. In addition, students will learn about using persuasive language as a means to get noticed and increase buy-in.

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to prepare reports and proposals that inform, persuade, and provide information. And most importantly, these reports and proposals will get read.

Used in conjunction with Velsoft’s Business Writing That Works course, participants will hone their writing skills in order to produce effective written materials.

Velsoft’s soft skills courseware is easy for trainers to customize, and can be tailored to a brand, location, or participants’ individual needs. Each course is a package of training materials, including a comprehensive instructor’s guide, student workbook, pre-formatted slides, and a reference guide that helps students to quickly remember what they’ve learned.
