Hello,

I had the feeling that "What's more" required a comma but our translator didn't put one in this sentence:

What’s more you will save a great deal of time and effort using an appropriate CRM

Is this correct or would it be better with a comma :

What's more, you will save a great deal of time...
 
    • I love it with the comma here and I think it's mandatory where confusion might reign: "What's more special offers are now available."
     
    I share your feeling. I would put a comma after "What's more".
    It's an almost parenthetical initial comment. The sentence is complete without it.
    This is explained well HERE (it's a link from the sticky thread at the top of this forum).
    Sometimes a weak interruption comes at the beginning or at the end of its sentence. In such a case, one of the two bracketing commas would logically fall at the beginning or the end of the sentence ‹ but we never write a comma at the beginning or at the end of a sentence. As a result, only one of the two bracketing commas is written in this case:
    All in all, I think we can say that we've done well.
    I think we can say that we've done well, all in all.​
     
    Yes it is correct, and yes it would be better with a comma. Comma use is very rarely a matter of correctness: it is usually for clarity (visual or logical) or rhythm.
