6. Tone of Biz Talk

   Think of Biz Talk like you would networking at a business related gathering. We are all professionals. You should correspond with each other as if you were discussing topics with a client, co-worker or staff member. Our fellow members, like you, are very busy and would prefer a short and concise debate that will clarify all types of business related issues.
