Get your e-mails answered
Next time you want to write an e-mail that gets answered, try these tips from Chris Brogan.
- Include the action requested in the subject line. For example, start the subject line with “For review” or “Decision needed.”
- Be brief. E-mails with a short list of numbered questions are more likely to get answered than ones that hide the questions in a big block of text.
- Make every e-mail definitive. When bringing it to a close, be clear about what you need and include enough information so the other person can give you an answer. If you’re trying to schedule a meeting, include some available dates and times instead of leaving it open ended.
