The Brief (concise and precise) by Dawn Oluwadare


Brevity matters in Business Communication. No busy person wants long stories. Infact, they want you to tell them how long the conversation will take. You will want to make sure you are giving the right impression about whatever you are selling quickly.

If you are a sales person, please don’t tell me about your home town, your wife and children, the company you work for or even the product. I don’t care! Nobody probably does. Tell me what I will benefit from the product. Its all about me here! How does it affect me? Mind you, when you get to have my precious time (which is so costly) in your hands just make sure your expression doesn’t give you away. You might need your body language to express your absolute confidence in the fact that what you’re selling will changer my life forever!

In the Business World, from interview processes when you want a job to convincing a potential customer, you have to make sure you “glitter” (like shine shine bobo – Star!) within the shortest possible time.

In summary, permit me to say it this way; if it is really worth selling, then “drop it like its HOT!”
