Dear Joe,
I wanted to send you a quick note about our editorial process. When we work with our subject
matter experts, we find that it's helpful to outline the editorial process this content must go through
before it can be published. We do this because we want to:
1. Focus on the way to best communicate your
expertise for the audience.
2. Make sure the audience can understand what you
need them to know.
3. Structure the piece in a way that meets or exceeds
the best industry competition.
As you know, best industry practices focus on targeting the content for our audience. If we meet
the audience's needs, they will be more likely to recognize the value of a relationship with us, or
rather a greater connection to you as an expert...
