COMSYS IT Partners recruits The Writing Workshop’s Business Writing Seminar.

COMSYS IT Partners, a Houston-based information technology services company with 42 offices across the US, Canada, and the UK recently hosted a 90-minute Business Writing Seminar for the company’s Proposals & Marketing Group.

The team included copywriters, graphic designers, website designers, proposal specialists and marketing experts who handle marketing and communications for COMSYS worldwide.

The Writing Workshop’s 90-minute Seminar delivers the Five Big Ideas behind what it takes to think clearly and write what you mean. The Persuasive Writing concepts and techniques are practical and relevant to anyone in business – especially people who weren’t trained as writers but who have to write as part of their job.

For example, graphic designers often have to write creative briefs to define the rationale and strategy behind a particular design approach they recommend. To do this successfully, the designer has to ensure her ideas flow logically and she builds a convincing story for why her design solution works well. 

The Writing Workshop onsite Persuasive Writing training teaches people how to structure a logical and persuasive document. One that transforms information into knowledge, to give people context, relevance, and meaning.

“The workshop was fantastic,” said Delia Dietz, a COMSYS graphic designer. “The methods we learned are very practical and made perfect sense. I’ll use the ideas right away.”

In fact the entire COMSYS Marketing team found the workshop exceptionally valuable.

“It was right on target,” said Ralph Kirkland, Vice President for HR and Development, speaking about his team’s communication process. “John taught us a new way of thinking, and a new approach to help my team begin a paradigm shift in our process.”

Amy Jackson, COMSYS Project Manager agreed. “This was a clever class…John reminded us that good writing takes clear thinking and separating editing from writing…two thumbs up!”
