The following is a guest post written by Kyle Simpson.

I recently had a conversation with Rick Roberge who told me what a great service our company provides. Rick, a sales coach and trainer, said he believes that every salesperson who writes proposals, e-mails, letters, etc., should incorporate proofreading as a standard part of their business writing process.  Rick then went on to write a blog post about this topic.

Each week (well mostly!) our team posts articles to the GrammarPhile blog that we hope you find helpful and interesting. Our goal is to provide posts that you look forward to reading and that you find helpful as you go through your daily work routine. But I sometimes wonder if we're giving you what you'd really like to read. So this week, I'm inviting you to give us your feedback.
