Great point, Jennifer! You would think that, because it’s so important, people would state their main points clearly up front. But it’s so rarely done.

And thanks for the book suggestion: I have never read Dale Carnegie’s book, but from a writer’s standpoint the three most important things to consider are audience, audience, audience.

Cheers,
Loren

I like the first point on clearly and concisely stating what you propose to do. I beleive it often (not always) shows lack of confidence if we are not clear about what we want.

A lot of your points remind me of Dale Carnegie’s classic on “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” You simply can’t go wrong with these principles. Putting yourself in another person’s shoes will open all kinds of doors!
