Communication Tip #3

Tips for writing emails:

I read this in the HBR comments. The guy talks sense. A long time ago I learned that an effective way to get responses to my e-mails is to put the call to action right in the subject line. For example:



  • FOR APPROVAL:  XYZ Contract
  • FOR REVIEW:  Draft Sales Letter
  • REMINDER:  HR Forms Due Thursday


This technique helps call attention to your e-mail in a crowded In Box and immediately lets the recipient know the subject of your message and how they need to respond.
