prevents less misinterpretation. Using other methods can cause misunderstandings if conveyed to
the other party incorrectly. It also saves time because you can give and receive clear instructions

message and provide feedback quickly. With this way of communicating, you can also maintain

events, activities or new additions to the business, etc. This will ensure that everyone
