This week's Monday Morning Moment is a video tip - Writing Effective Emails, Part II.
Two important tools to use when writing an effective email include:
1. Standardized Signature Block
2. Proper usage of BCC (Blind Courtesy Copy) and CC (Courtesy Copy)
Signature blocks are like virtual business cards. They provide others with your necessary contact information. They also save you a lot of time by automatically populating on all out-going emails. For those of you who practice Lean Office, you appreciate this simple automation.
And as far as BCC goes, don't you just hate it when you receive a mass email, with your name and email address showing up in the "TO" or "CC" line. Now 50 million (okay, maybe not that many) strangers have your contact information. Grrrr...this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Make sure you use the BCC feature when communicating to a group of people who do not know one another or who do not need to know one another's email addresses.
Enough said. I'll get off my soap box. Here's the video on Writing Effective Emails, Part II. Enjoy!
