Brogan’s E-mail Writing Tips
For the past few weeks I have been thoughtfully considering writing a post on useful e-mail writing tips. I am fairly safe in guessing that you are like me digging through a daily barrage of e-mail both professionally and personally. Because we are so bombarded with information push and pull via e-mail, I think it serves us all well to be reminded how to effectively write e-mails. If writing followed some simple rules, what we write would be answered or dealt with more quickly and what we had to process in our own in-boxes would be processed more efficiently. It would be win-win!
Today, on one of the blogs I subscribe to: Chris Brogan’s Community and Social Media, Chris writes an excellent post titled Writing E-mail That Gets Answered outlining several of the things I was thinking, but had yet to formulate into an intelligible written form. In particular I like his tips on doing a follow-up e-mail. We all get backlogged and forget things or miss deadlines. E-mail follow-up is becoming a necessity, and we really need to learn how to do it tactfully. Chris suggests three simple steps of brevity, a simple summary, and deadline reminders.
Now, I really don’t need to duplicate the writing effort. I figured I would alert you to Chris’ post, encourage you to read it, and hope that we all would implement some or all of the tips he suggests. That should make all of us a lot more efficient, effective, and ultimately, more productive. Nice work Chris, thanks for sharing your wisdom!
