positiveWriting positively for business can be an effective way to communicate with your customers, colleagues, and other stakeholders. Here are some tips for writing positively in a business context:

  • Use positive language: Use positive words and phrases such as "excellent," "outstanding," "great," and "top-quality."

  • Avoid negative language: Avoid using negative words and phrases, such as "no," "not," "cannot," and "won't." These can convey a sense of negativity and may come across as confrontational or uncooperative. For example, instead of saying "I don't think that will work," try saying "We could try this alternative approach instead."

  • Use action verbs: Action verbs such as "achieve," "accomplish," and "succeed" convey a sense of positivity and forward momentum. Use action verbs to create a dynamic and positive message.

  • Use positive framing: When presenting information, highlight the benefits and positive outcomes rather than the negatives. This can help to create a more positive and appealing message. For example, instead of saying "Our product is not as expensive as our competitors," try saying "Our product offers the same quality at a more affordable price." Rather than stating what you don't want, state what you do want. For example, instead of saying "We don't want any delays," say "We are committed to meeting deadlines."

  • Use a friendly and professional tone: Use a friendly and professional tone in your writing to show that you are approachable and willing to help.

Here's an example of a positively written business email:

Dear John

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out to thank you for the excellent service your team provided to us last week.

Our event was a complete success, and a large part of that was due to the efforts of your team. They were professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.

I also wanted to let you know that the feedback we received from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Many commented on the high level of customer service they received from your team.

Again, thank you for all of your help. We look forward to working with your team again in the future.

Best regards

Paul Chan

Remember, the way you write can have a big impact on the way your message is received. By using positive language and focusing on the benefits, you can create a positive impression and build good relationships in your business communications.
