Top 5 Tips On Business Email Etiquette

4. Don’t discuss personal matters

Do you really think it is okay to discuss the great time you had in a party last night in a business email where you are also going to try and persuade a colleague to look into a new business project? “Never should you discuss personal matters in professional communication. I was told that this is an important business email etiquette on the very first day I started my job”, said Jeanette.

5. Leave your contact details

“You must always, always leave your contact details in your business email signature. This is critical because it allows the recipient to contact you via other means should the need arise”, explained Jeanette. You must follow this business email etiquette because the recipient of your email may feel more comfortable discussing your email on the phone or may want to follow this up by a fax. “A good signature is a must if you want to look professional”, added Jeanette.
