Nobody likes reading plain, unformatted text, especially not when you need to quickly grasp important updates about a new lead or an important deal. No matter whether it’s a formal business contract or simply sharing meeting notes or customer details, formatting can bring structure into boring blocks of text, helps to highlight the key information, and makes your message clear and easy to read and comprehend.
