Communication is vital in this digital era of society. Especially if you built your business on the web, you rely on multiple forms of communication to interact with prospects, investors, clients and possibly your employees. Not only can the right forms and styles of communication build trust, but good communication directly correlates with a stronger organization. Let's examine the different types of communication used every day in business and some tips for communicating as effectively as possible in each format.

1. Face-To-Face Communication: The main form of communication for nearly everyone is in-person. It's easy to get your point across and communicate the nuances of a situation. Because of the pandemic, society has opted out of much in-person communication. But if you can meet in person, then do so. It helps prevent miscommunication and easily gets your feelings across organically. Incorporating attentive body language, like nodding your head to indicate understanding and encouragement, is key to effective in-person communication

2. Email Communication: Email is used every day in business. It's often thought of as an instant communication method, but nowadays, most people have full inboxes, so it can take hours or even days to receive a response. The most effective emails are made up of multiple parts: an introduction, the main concern and a courteous conclusion. Make sure to always be professional in your tone and be patient as you wait for a response. If you haven't received a response after four or five business days, then you should follow up, reiterating your previous statements


3. Business Meetings: A business meeting with your entire team or department is an ideal way to notify everyone of an important matter. This can eliminate confusion and answer all questions at one time but should be used sparingly. Smaller, more regular meetings work well when your team has a project to work on together. Just as with one-on-one, face-to-face communication, make sure your body language is positive, make eye contact with people and nod when someone is speaking to demonstrate attentiveness.


4. Social Media: Social media messaging allows for immediate communication with customers. Social media can also help you learn more about a client by viewing their profiles before you build a professional relationship. Using social media to speak with clientele is great for fast replies and getting your ideas across quickly.

 
5. Team Messaging Applications: Specific applications for messaging team members like Slack, Telegram and GroupMe are great for instant communication within your workspace. These apps enable you to focus on what your team needs to accomplish but still offer everyone involved instant responses when necessary. Unlike emails, messaging applications are generally considered instant forms of communication. So when you receive a message, try to respond as soon as possible. If necessary, you can follow up with more depth and examples in other messages or in person.


Final Thoughts

Communication is extremely important in all aspects of business. This tech-savvy generation isn't used to being in the presence of many people at once, but knowing all of these options and how to utilize them can help with both one-on-one and group communication. As the digital era expands, more communication options and techniques become available and in-person meetings are being replaced by digital tools.power-of-face-to-face.jpg
