Support for Small Businesses

At Writing Point, we work with you to produce well-written words that communicate your message, give you credibility, and mark you out as a reputable business.

As the owner or manager of a small business, you're used to doing every job going. But you also know that you're not an expert in everything. Unless you do all your business face to face, your writing will be representing your company. It may well be the first thing a potential customer sees - and could easily be the last, if it doesn't give the right impression.

Whether you want to develop your own writing skills or make use of ours, our writing training and copywriting services will help you get your message across effectively.

Copywriting Services

We write web pages, articles, sales letters, brochures, newsletters, press releases, and customer letters and forms. We'll talk to you to find out about your business and your customers, and agree the best approach.

You'll get clear and concise wording that gets your message across and influences people to take the desired action.

And if you're happy to write your own material but feel you could do with a second opinion and a few tweaks, we can help there too.

"Many thanks for your time on Friday. I found it extremely useful in focusing in the way forward and the actions necessary."

Sue Bailey, Laurel Business Services

We'll write a sample page or section of a document at no obligation.

See our Copywriting page for more information and examples of our writing.

Proposal Writing

Working with you, we will write a business proposal that stands out from the competition and connects with the client.

If you've been asked to put forward a proposal, you're very close to winning business. But to win, your proposal must be well-written, credible - and more convincing than all the others. That's where we come in.

As well as writing the proposal, we'll explain why we've done it the way we have. So you get a professional proposal plus a template and knowledge to apply next time.

"I owe you lunch. Reason being - the client wants to go ahead with the proposal that you helped craft."

Jennie Jefferies Consulting

Editing and Revision

PencilWe edit and revise your documents/web pages so that you can be confident they read well, are error-free, and aren't damaging your image. We'll also give you our honest opinion on how effective your writing is and whether we think a fresh approach would help.

Individual Coaching

We show you how to identify your key messages and how to apply your existing writing skills to the different types of writing that you need in business.

If you can already write correct English, you can learn how to write sales letters, web content and other material. Even a single one hour session can make a big difference.

For those who are less confident of their writing skills, our coaching is also the perfect way to brush up on the basics with a qualified and supportive trainer.
