professional level. Look at the conversation between a customer and a Manager to
understand the relevance of good communication in a business transaction.

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
In both cases, it is a loss to the
business and a hassle to the
customer
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
Introduction
Such 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.
