Business Communication
Effective communication is good business. That’s because all communication — whether it’s with colleagues, clients, or prospective business partners — has the potential to build and strengthen relationships, gain support for vital initiatives and grow trust.
But the term “communication” is so overused, even experts in the field struggle with its scope, let alone corporate executives. Is it about computer technology, mobile phones, global communication networks, press conferences? To the professionals at Zagnoli McEvoy Foley, communication is about one thing: getting your point, your message, your information from inside your head to the heads of others, letting them see things from your perspective. The medium doesn’t matter to us, the message does.
Communication has the potential to build and strengthen relationships, gain support for vital initiatives and grow trust.
At ZMF, we bring you a team of experts with backgrounds in psychology, sociology, marketing, public relations, linguistics, rhetoric and persuasion, professionals who partner with you to take your communication efforts places you never thought possible. With research, communication strategy and multimedia solutions, ZMF is a full-service partner with the know-how and resources to be a real, measurable asset for your business.
Research When addressing opposition or solving communication problems, it’s critical to know what your prospective audience really thinks, regardless of the industry you’re in. At ZMF, we have the expertise to identify and execute the most effective research methods available to help you better understand what your audience really thinks about a cause, a proposed change, an opportunity or an issue. But unlike many research services, we don’t stop there. We have the experience to interpret the research results and recommend and deliver an actionable solution.
Our research solutions are customized for each situation, but some examples of areas we specialize in are:
- Online surveys (zOpinion)
- Focus Groups
- Telephone Surveys
- One-on-One Interviews
Executive Communication Consulting
At ZMF, we have the skills and know-how to take bad speakers and make them good, and to take good ones and make them great. We develop a thorough understanding of your situation and your audience to develop a strategy that will reach and motivate new audiences. Consultants at ZMF have saved executives’ jobs, helped keynote speakers move and energize audiences and helped leaders do a better job expressing their vision and gaining support for new initiatives.
Employee Communication Training
It’s not just those in the executive suite who benefit from communication training. Good communication skills can make a difference throughout your organization. No matter what the subject matter — from accounting to manufacturing — ZMF teaches employees how to communicate their goals and needs effectively and persuasively.
Good communication skills can make a difference throughout your organization.
Conflict Communication Strategies
Stop problems before they start. Soothe conflict to avoid litigation. Tame the conflict beast once it has been unleashed. Conflict resolution has been studied endlessly by communication experts, so ZMF consultants bring time-tested theories to your conflict for successful, less painful resolutions.
Visual Solutions In an age of media overload, audiences have come to expect a little eye candy to go along with your verbal message. Sometimes you use visual communications to teach; other times they simply add some valuable sparkle. We understand the difference and can help design visual support that will engage, entertain and enlighten any audience, be it one person or 1,000.
