It's the time of year when businesses turn to planning: budgeting for next year's projects, allocating resources, or applying for research funds. Many scientists, technologists, and businesspeople face the task of completing budget requests and grant applications, with the ultimate goal of convincing this or that committee that their project should receive funding. This is when persuasive writing skills are most in demand.
Persuading through writing can be challenging. Unlike face-to-face conversation, you can't see the reactions of your audience. Instead, you must learn to anticipate reactions, arguments, and questions, and answer them in the writing itself.
Fortunately, this professional writing skill can be learned. These six tips are a great place to start.
When you compose your documents, whether they're internal planning documents or grant applications, remember these six tips. Also consider taking a targeted writing training program, and if you’d like a professional opinion, have Hurley Write edit your grant. We'll make your content stand out.
Learning to write persuasive content can be challenging, but it is a learned skill that more than pays for the effort you put into it. Contact Hurley Write toll-free at 877-24-WRITE (877-249-7483) or by email for more information about our business writing training courses.
