What does that mean? Is the recipient actually reading the email?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best start to a successful email is a eye-catching subject line. Make sure it is meaningful and focused. Pique the reader\u2019s curiosity and use power words. Next thing to do is get to the point. Don\u2019t mince words. Business people have a lot on their plate and if your email is not short and succinct, it may just get looked over. A study showed that emails up to 50 words get answered fastest. Anything more than 100 words will see a rapid decline in responses. Be sure to ask a question or two so that the recipient feels the need to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When closing your email, avoid the standard scripted ending such as sincerely. I personally like warm wishes or best regards. See what is more natural to you. Be clear on who the email is from. Include your full name above your company name. Don\u2019t assume that your reader remembers you just by your first name.<br>One last note I want to add is PROOFREAD! Spelling and grammar errors can be  detrimental to any business relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the business world today, many of us rely on emails more than ever instead of phone calls,&hellip;","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":10042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1316,510,1296],"tags":[567,1131,1132,1130,1121],"class_list":["post-10041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-office-wellness-tips-and-trends","category-the-workplace","category-tips-and-trends","tag-business-email-etiquette","tag-office-tips","tag-work-tips","tag-working-from-home","tag-working-remotely","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Successful Email Etiquette - Business Greeting Card Blogs &amp;
