I have not attached any samples here.  However, I have included, in "Books", some material about THE SECRETS OF SERVICE, a book designed to motivate better customer service.

Please write to me if interested.

Industrial Theater:  


Book and lyrics for sales conventions, designed to train employees, make them feel good about working here, and to entertain them.  



Some clients I worked for include International Harvester,  Helene Curtiss, Allstate.



Sketches for live / interactive training sessions, wherein – for instance-- actors would play out a customer service or sales scene that was wrong, and a facilitator would lead a training/discussion on ways to do it right.


(The most interesting of these was a training session on sexual harassment in the workplace. Got to use lots of words you don’t say in community life. )


Motivation:  



A variety of speeches to be delivered by executives at annual Sales Meetings, for such clients as Kraft Foods, Abbott Labs, etc.



New Product Launches:  presentations designed to introduce a new Product; e.g., ulcer medication for G.D. Searles, etc.



Occasionally I would write materials designed to make employees of a company feel good about downsizing – a challenge indeed.

INDUSTRIALS


Current Freelance Work:
Having recently retired from academia, I am now returning to the kinds of freelance industrial writing I did before I went back to teaching.  I do a wide variety of things:  training, motivation, press releases, corporate communications, industrial theater and so forth.

I have also begun to work on web-related jobs:  writing text for web pages, helping Search Engine Optimization, occasional blogs for clients,  editing articles, and related areas.  

Previously,  for about 15 years, I worked in Chicago as a freelance industrial writer.   I wrote a variety of pieces for many companies for many occasions.  For a while, I worked full time as Creative Director for a firm that produced business meetings of all sorts.   My assignments fell into three major types, although they often blended together.
