English Communications 101

There are more and more Filipinos who are now interested in working from home. And why not? If it gives you the freedom to be with your loved ones while earning enough to enjoy it. Aside from struggling to know where and how to start, there’s another aspect that’s holding them back.

Communication Skills. Let’s face it, most of the clients online are based outside the Philippines. If you want to book a client or even plan to have one, you need to communicate well with them. How else can you get your message across if you don’t even know how to express it?

Do not fret my friend, the English language, just like any other language, can be learned. In the BPO industry, companies give their employees 10 days to train in their English Communication before they even have their project-specific training.

And just like everything, you only need to know the basics, and the rest is about practice.
