Reduced reading time  

If you are a manager or executive, our writing workshops will reduce your reading time.

We teach business professionals how to get to the heart of a message and deliver it quickly. We show them how to decide which details are important and which are not.   All of our writing courses (technical, nontechnical, persuasive, procedural, etc.) have one purpose:  to show people how to communicate information efficiently.
 
Manager’s checklist

Following is a quick checklist of some of the managerial frustrations we can relieve for you.

   •  e-mail overload
   •  missing or buried main point
   •  unorganized message
   •  wordiness and excessive detail
   •  excessive reading time
   •  rambling rhetoric
   •  poor grammar, punctuation, and spelling
   •  unclear or incomplete messages
   •  less-than-persuasive proposals
   •  missed deadlines

Why hire an outside consultant for writing training?

A well-screened outside consultant who specializes in one topic can bring a focused expertise that is difficult for an internal employee to match, especially if the internal employee is wearing several training “hats.”

We devoted a year to developing our first writing workshop.  By investing that time to research, write, and test our materials, we built a comprehensive copyrighted workbook and a smoothly flowing, logical presentation.  That work began in 1976.  Since then, we have updated and expanded our workbook and presentation to accommodate new writing media and methods.

High quality

When you hire us, you receive high-quality communication training throughout your company. Your employees learn directly from the Vinclers, not from hired speakers.  Our writing workshops will sharpen skills that your employees will use throughout their careers.

Experience to meet your changing needs and bring a solid ROI

Business writing changes as technology moves information faster and faster.  Those who don’t change with the times will be pushed to the sidelines.  It’s our job to keep you in the game.  We can show your team how to write quickly, clearly, and concisely.  Vincler courses are proven builders of productivity.

To save you money, a training program must offer a solid return on your investment.  Your registrants’ time costs you money.  Invest that time well, by hiring Vincler Communications to train your teams.  You’ll like the results — and so will top management.  Wise decisions get noticed, especially when those decisions cost-effectively meet critical business needs.

Clients who have tracked the results of our training say that our workshops bring them an amazing productivity gain.  For example, in nine workshops averaging 24 people per workshop, one client’s total net productivity gain was calculated to be over $3 million in one year.  

Hands-on training

We don’t give a quick overview of the subject and then sell a lot of collateral material to registrants to teach themselves.  Our workshops include all the comprehensive materials your employees need for learning how to become good business writers.

Attendees work in our workshops.  We show examples, discuss common business-writing problems, and explain how to correct or avoid the problems.  We let the attendees search for and correct those problems in their own writing.  With our coaching, your employees will complete at least a rough draft of a current writing project.  Many leave with a final draft in hand.

When people enter our workshop, they know they should write clearly and concisely.  When they leave, they know how.  Your employees will leave our workshop as better writers.

Individual attention in a relaxed setting

Your employees will get plenty of individual attention in a two-day class, so encourage them to bring in current writing jobs (or some routine reports) for coaching and self-editing.

Our approach is non-threatening and caring.  Your employees will not be embarrassed, intimidated, or dragged around the room with their teeth clenched over a pencil.  Writing is an extension of one's ego, and we have no desire to step on anyone's ego.  So far, our workshop participants enjoy a 100% ego-survival rate.

Humor enhances learning and makes teaching fun.  We have fun teaching.  Your people will learn a lot and come back to the job armed with the tools to significantly improve the company's communication efficiency.
