These FREE weekly business writing tips
will help you improve your business writing.

Tip #360:  Brainstorm using e-mail when the key participants work at different locations, and you need their input for an important project.  The project leader can e-mail the outline of the project, along with a routing list, to the first person who provides input and e-mails this information to the next person on the list.
