General
- Coname in red
- Refer to an individual the same way throughout a document — either by title or role. (If you call someone a Research Salesperson once, call him/her a Research Salesperson throughout, not just a Salesperson.)
- If you choose to abbreviate a title, use the full title the first time that the person is mentioned, with the abbreviation following in parentheses. Then, use the abbreviation throughout.
- Ex: The Market Leader and Relationship Manager (RM) are continuing their coaching session. The Market Leader and RM are about to debrief a meeting with a prospective client. The client had an identified, immediate need for an investment.
- Be consistent with Customer, Client, roles (Relationship Manager, Salesperson, etc.), etc.
- Use consistent abbreviations of terms: e.g., $10 million and $8 million, but not $10 million and $8,000,000. Round off. $2.5 million, never 2.5 million dollars.
- Use “vs.” not “versus”
Spacing
- Two spaces after periods
- Space before and after ellipses
- Space before and after em dash
- No space before or after forward slash (/)
- Two spaces after colons and one space after semicolons
