Hail Of A Day

This is an outstanding post by Chris Brogan about writing emails that get a response. With the increase of emails that we both send and receive it’s easy to get lazy in responding, and frustrating to not get answers. We should always be looking for better ways to cut through the clutter in others’ inboxes.

If you don’t want to follow the link, here are a few highlights:

• One Decision Per Email - increases odds of getting a quick response
• Don’t spend several paragraphs trying to justify why you’re asking something, just ask it.
• Effective signature line
• Use subject line effectively, i.e. Following Up, Deadline Friday

I’m going to implement some of these suggestions, so you better answer my emails if I send one to you.
