Business writing training

Red Pony offers business writing workshops that teach the fundamental, eternal principles of clear communication.

We teach concrete, specific techniques that participants can use in their everyday work. Participants learn through a series of practical exercises that can be easily applied to any communication task.

We offer 4- and 6-hour versions of our interactive Effective business writing workshops (fundamentals, essentials and advanced) that combine core units with a range of options for:

  • mastering basic grammar

  • writing persuasive copy

  • writing emails

  • writing reports

  • writing press releases and other PR materials

  • writing speeches

  • communicating via social media.

To ensure participation, all sessions have a maximum of 12 participants. In addition to course materials, training participants receive Red Pony’s concise reference booklet, A guide to grammar and punctuation.

Tender development training

As experts in developing winning tenders and proposals, Red Pony can raise your organisation’s success rate by demonstrating how to produce more targeted, more compelling and ultimately more successful submissions.

In our Tenders that mean business workshops, participants learn how to source and qualify opportunities, then develop comprehensive, compelling and compliant responses.

Workshops are a combination of presentation, discussion and practical exercise, covering fundamental concepts including:

  • opportunity qualification

  • competitive assessment

  • development of a response plan

  • insurance requirements

  • probity

  • contracts

  • panel presentations

  • contractual negotiation.

By participating in a Tenders that mean business workshop, tender teams will learn to better explain the different aspects of their service offering and draw on their previous experience effectively, all the while meeting the unique requirements of the tender process.
