Keys To Effective Business E-Mail

KEYS TO EFFECTIVE BUSINESS E-MAIL

Here are just a few guidelines to effectively communicate via this convenient method:

• Ask, “Who really needs to get this memo?”
• Make the subject line factual so the e-mail isn’t deleted.
• What is your main objective? Include desired actions and dates for completion.
• Keep the message short; limit each e-mail to one subject.
• For a more complex subject matter, break the material up into understandable chunks.
• Avoid humor or sarcasm which may be misinterpreted.
