Maria Said:

in business (or small businesses) what opportunities for writing exist?

We Answered:

Small to medium advertising agencies use freelancers all the time, especially if you are a subject matter expert.

The same goes for medium to large businesses that have in-house marketing departments. They can get overloaded, for example, during trade show season for their industry. Learn the cycles of the businesses you will be approaching.

The problem dealing with small businesses directly is that they typically lack marketing experience and they will make tactical decisions without a sound communications strategy.

Develop your own promotional mailer and make it really distinctive. Send to production managers in agencies (they keep the list of trusted resources) and marketing managers in corporate environments. Follow up with calls and a parallel email campaign.

Good luck. You can do it.

How to write professional letter?

We Answered:

I would like to know how, exactly, the question is worded...if it says "write a claim letter on behalf of your boss," that's a little vague, but I would have to guess that it is meant to be written as if she had written it herself. A letter that said "I'm writing this for my boss" wouldn't be very professional.

Assuming it's in the voice of your boss:

Under the signature, add enough space for her to sign, usually 2 or 3 returns, then her typed name. Then under that, one blank line, then her initials:your initials lowercase. Under that, one blank line, then "Enclosures". Like this:

Sincerely,
