Email serves many different functions and the structure of that communication can be very important.

Tips for a business email

1.  ALWAYS put as first paragraph what you want the recipient to do.

Then you can expain at any length the reasons and details.

Just this simple step will increase productivity and reduce confusion.

2.  If there is no action required, please start email with For your information only. That way those you correspond with know that they will be kept informed and when they need to act.

I know this seems simple but when applied it streamlines email communication.

3.  Also make sure to keep the subject of the email relevant to the current content. Frequently in back and forth emails the subject can vary away from original email subject. This makes filing and searching more complex.

4.  Take the time to re read an email before you send.  It is amazing how a small typo can change the meaning of a message.

5.  If you are a WallCannRewards Advocate remember to include a link to your site or best selling products where relevant in your signature.  That way every email you send can be adding to your income.
