Business CommunicationWhat is Business Communication Service?
You have a company, you begin a day's work with a brief meeting with your employees. Later on that day you hang visual graphs of production rates of the past few weeks, where everyone can see.
After lunch you get an e-mail concerning a complaint from the customer stating that the product isn’t working properly, so then, you notify your employees and explain the case after apologizing to the customer about the inconvenience.
By the end of the day a shipment has finally arrived from the vendors, containing parts that you’ve been waiting for to finish assembling your product, once again you notify your employees so they can begin preparing. Finally at the end of the day, you receive a call; it turns out to be a customer who is interested in buying your product.
What you practically did for a day’s work was communicating, beginning with the brief meeting you had with your employees to the customer you spoke to at the end of the day. The way you communicated at work is what you call “service”.
When you had your meeting you communicated with your employees, which is considered to be an internal communication, as when you notified them about the product failure, the arrival of the shipment, and when you hung the Productivity Graphs, all these actions you made are considered internal communication.
Not only did you use internal communication but you used external communication also, for instance when you received the e-mail and apologized to the complaining customer, also when you spoke to the client who was interested in purchasing your product. Communication is used so frequently in business, but why would communicating properly be of any importance?
