  • Great event! A chance to renew some previous acquaintences and to meet some dynomite new ones. I never fail to leave any BW4W activities without some solid information, or potential business in the pipeline. Thank you BW4W!

Email Etiquette

The way you write and send email says a lot about you, and your company. There is an established etiquette that, when followed, shows your professionalism and courtesy. This video from Kim Komando covers all the high points:

Important takeaways:

  1. Always put a short subject in the subject line
  2. Keep the email short, simple, and to the point
  3. Use the spellcheck and grammar check feature in your email program
  4. Respond to all emails within 24 hours
  5. DON’T USE ALL CAPS!!
  6. Don’t send chain letters, warnings or hoaxes (my personal pet peeve)
  7. Don’t reply to spammers (and don’t buy anything from them!)
  8. If you send an email by mistake, suck it up, admit the error, and fix it.
  9. Proofread before you send
  10. If anything in the email is confidential, protect yourself with a disclaimer

Do you know someone who violates any of these rules? Please share this post with them!
