HOW TO GET IMPORTANT PEOPLE TO READ YOUR EMAILS AND RESPOND [1]
Elliott Bell writes in TheMuse to keep your emails to as few words as possible. A really long email is going to be scanned so quickly that there is almost zero chance that your reason for emailing is going to be seen.
He advises writers to:
- Pay attention to the time of day.
- Be brief.
- Be clear.
- Make it about them.
- Come up with a good subject line.
