Business Email EtiquetteA doubleshot of business news espresso with extra froth
Angie Mckaig has posted an excellent writeup about the use of email in the small business world. In under a decade, email has become the most popular method of conducting business. Angie passes along 5 quick and easy email tips for entrepreneurs: • Looks matter Formatting your emails in a professional manner will score brownie points with your clients. • Run a business, not an acquaintanceship Respond to email requests promptly. I typically respond to emails within 2-3 hours of receipt. • Emotions have no place in business Avoid using emotionally based words. Business is business and feelings aren’t of the essence. • Emoticons were created for a reason Write clearly and to the point. The reader should immediately pick up on your tone. • Explanations go a long way Your clients will be more attentive to buy if you fully explain the answers to their questions.
