I have gone through some PPTs several times. I keep them as my reference. Like, Whenever I need to send an effective email I go through PPT and make sure to follow those points. Will keep doing it till it becomes my habit. Same applies to other PPTs as well.
Thanks for compiling them at one place. But more than that many many thanks for writing them down and sharing with all !! 🙂
