How to write e-mails that actually get read

E-mail overload is a common occurrence in the corporate workforce. People receive hundreds of e-mails each day – so how can you make sure yours get read?

A subject line that screams “open me!” is one that is concise, informative and compelling.

Do you research and address the e-mail to an actual person. “Dear sir or madam” can’t compete with “Hi John”

Be personable and try to sound warm and engaging

Keep the e-mail short and sweet.The easier it is for someone to quickly scan your e-mail the better.

Don’t rely on spell check. Always proofread before you click send.

End the e-mail with a clear call to action. Or an outline of what will happen next.
