Email Efficiency Requires Great Composition

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
I have championed email efficiency for years and previously wrote Email Productivity in Three Easy Steps on this subject. Improving your business communication skills, including how you compose email, adds depth to your efficiency and effectiveness on the job.

David Silverman presents a concise, 10 point checklist in How to Revise an Email So People Will Read It.  I strongly urge you to read his article and improve the email you write. In particular, I appreciated his focus on communicating facts and pruning everything else.

What other techniques do you use for improving your writing?
