![]() ![]() Is it really necessary for so many people to know whatever it is that you want to say? If you can keep some people out, keep them out. THINK twice before CCing the world and or before hitting the REPLY ALL button.If most of your emails, and most parts of those emails, are filled with words in upper case and or too many expressions, the essence is lost and your purpose may not be achieved. I'm not saying don’t use it at all but try limiting its use - or use it only occasionally so it has a proper impact. REFRAIN from using TOO MANY uppercase words in your email or exclamation marks (!!!!!!!!) or question marks (?) to express your unhappiness or anger or shock.Again, just a couple of extra seconds will not hurt you. Instead, just try saying, ‘OK, name of the sender’ or 'Yes, sounds good' for example. Some times, one word replies can be perceived as being rude. AVOID sending one word replies like ‘OK’ or ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ whenever you can.Add 60 seconds more if you are on the other side of tech-savviness. So why not just turn it on with a simple signature like ‘Regards, your AWESOME name’? It takes hardly 60 seconds to enable this. Most email clients/apps/tools allow you to set default signatures both from your computer and mobile. DO NOT send emails without signatures.I’ve seen people say ‘Hi, Hello’ to Siri or Cordona or Google voice commands but wonder why they wouldn't say that in their emails to humans.

Your excuse may be that you are very busy, but it takes less than 10 seconds to type a subject line. NEVER send an email without a subject line.Here are just a few from my personal experience that I believe can be useful to almost anybody: There are tonnes of very useful articles and posts out there talking about email etiquette. But time, exposure and experience made me realise how to improve it. Some make me angry, others make me laugh. In my professional career of over 10 years, I have seen different types of email habits and styles. How often do you receive an email that makes you want to smack the face of the sender?
