Business Training Blog
Take a look at what we've covered in our blog over the past month...
Improve you reading skills to speed up your learning
The next two blogs are going to cover reading skills and how you can improve them. This week we’ll look at the bad habits you’ve more than likely picked up – I have a few myself – and next week we’ll concentrate on how to improve your speed reading skills so you can study more in less time.
Memory Improvement Techniques
“Now, what was that word…” How many times have you said that to yourself? Lots, I bet. I know from my time studying French that learning a word and being able to remember it are two very different things. It’s easy to remember something when you’ve just learned it, but how do you fix it in your memory so that you remember it two, three or four weeks later? Mnemonics that’s how!

Following on from last week, see below for more help with telephone calls… Business calls usually have important details in them, like the date, time and location of the interview in the conversation between Paul Jones and Mr Smith in last week’s blog. So, it’s a good idea to have a note pad and pen handy to write down any important information. And, if you did not catch what the other person said or you think you may have misunderstood, it’s perfectly acceptable to repeat the information or ask them to repeat it to you.
Hello can I speak to...
Over the next two weeks we’ll be looking at business telephone calls. You need to make an important business telephone call – perhaps you’ve applied for a new job and you’ve received a letter advising you should call to arrange an appointment for interview. Or maybe you would like to start your own business and need to find suppliers. Whatever the reason, it’s always best to be prepared.
