It’s essential for professionals in any industry to understand the principles of email writing that can cut through clutter and get their messages read. An email campaign may be an effective marketing tool, but unless the email is written in such a way that it compels the recipient to open it and pay attention to what it says, it will be lost among all the other unsolicited emails clogging his or her inbox. Emailing colleagues and co-workers can be an efficient and effective way to manage a group task, but poorly written and unnecessary emails might only confuse and frustrate the team.

Those interested in improving their business communication need to take a close look at their email skills. Too many people think that because email is a fast and easy way to communicate with others, they don’t have to put much time and effort into what they write. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Time is precious for everyone in the business world. Unless an email is deemed worth someone’s time, there’s a good chance it will never make its intended impact. It is important to respond to emails promptly and take your time when you are creating your response. The following infographic was created by Xverify and discusses how to sharpen your email skills.
