IntroductionCommunication is very important in all walks of life – at a personal level as well as at a professional level. Look at the conversation between a customer and a Manager to understand the relevance of good communication in a business transaction.
IntroductionVarun then speaks to his designer.
IntroductionNow, take a look at what the customer had originally wanted.However, when he described it, look at how the Manager understood it. Likewise, when the Manager described it to the designer, the designer understood it completely differently.

Introduction
This happened due to improper communication between the three people involved
Such lack of proper communication in any walk of life including a business scenario can lead to great confusion and even losses in a business
Mr. Ram Shukla may not place the order after looking at the sample proof card, or if decides to try again, he still would have to wait for another week to get another sample proof card ready
In both cases, it is a loss to the business and a hassle to the customer
IntroductionSuch confusion could easily be avoided by proper communication and asking the right questions such as:
Which type of font do you want?
What should be the size of the card?
What is the width of the red band on the card?
What is the exact position of the company logo?
Let us look at how effective business communication can help everyone function more efficiently.
