Introduction Communication is very important in all walks of life – at a personal level as well as at a professional level. Look at the conversation between a customer and a Manager to understand the relevance of good communication in a business transaction. Yes. I would like a card that has my company logo on the left hand corner. The upper part of the card should have a red band across it. The font type should be stylish. Hello, My name is Ram Shukla. I would like to get my visiting cards printed for my business. That’s great! Let me know when the sample card is ready. Sure, sir. We will surely design a card the way you want it. I will get my designer to get a sample proof card ready for you. It will be ready in a week’s time. You can have a look at it and then we can go ahead with the printing. Thank you, Mr. Shukla for considering our organization for your requirement. My name is Varun Singh. I am the manager. Do you have any idea about the design of the card in your mind? Certainly Sir!

Introduction Varun then speaks to his designer. Peter, we have a requirement of a business visiting card to be printed for a customer. He wants the card to have stylish font. The company logo should appear in the corner. The card should have a red band running across the upper half of the card. Sure, sir. Will get the sample ready. Manager Designer

Introduction This happened due to improper communication between the three people involved Such lack of proper communication in any walk of life including a business scenario can lead to great confusion and even losses in a business Mr. Ram Shukla may not place the order after looking at the sample proof card, or if decides to try again, he still would have to wait for another week to get another sample proof card ready In both cases, it is a loss to the business and a hassle to the customer
Introduction Such confusion could easily be avoided by proper communication and asking the right questions such as: Which type of font do you want? What should be the size of the card? What is the width of the red band on the card? What is the exact position of the company logo? Let us look at how effective business communication can help everyone function more efficiently.
