Real-Life Communication
If you can't communicate with your customers or clients, then your
data entry assignments may dwindle. Some clerks are self-employed contractors,
while others work for companies. Jeannette Marshall owns a data entry firm.
She outsources or assigns projects to four other workers in her area. She
is hoping to expand.
However, she won't have many clients if she and
her staff don't present the company in the most professional manner. "You
represent your company. Everything I send out is customized," says Marshall.
All
correspondence, including business letters, introduce her company to prospective
clients in a professional, friendly manner. She must remain approachable and
eager to give the client the finished product on time and with a high degree
of accuracy.
As a contract data entry clerk who is trying to land job
projects for your new business venture, you need to consider the type of correspondence
you would write, to whom you would target it, and how it would read. You need
to be persuasive, professional and give the impression that you can deliver
a quality product efficiently and accurately.
Write an introductory
business letter to send out to prospective clients. You want to win their
business by convincing them that you'll deliver what they need in a timely
manner.
