NO MORE “WALL OF WORDS” EMAILS

Posted September 10th, 2008 by Leslie and filed in Email, Organizing, Organizing Tips, Time Management

Anyone who has EVER emailed me knows that they need to be brief and get to the ACTION in the first few lines or else I will MISS IT! I love bulleted emails that get right to the point! The following format that is recommended by Mike Song in the book “The Hamster Revolution”. He calls it the A-B-C format.

A-for Action
B-for Background
C-for Close

State the action you want right away,(and frankly if that is all you want, don’t hesitate to put it in the subject line with EOM*). Then give the background information and a closing with your signature. For example:

Dear John,

Please check out my NEW teliseminar PO PUSH at http://www.mckeeos.com/services/POPUSH.html.

* This is a course for New Professional Organizers and for existing Professional Organizers who want to take their business to a new level!
* There will be 7 sessions and 7 small group sessions as well
* You can also earn a referral fee if you spread the word!

Thank you so much for previewing this course and I am happy to hear any comment or suggestions.

That is so much easier to read than a huge WALL OF WORDS!
You will save your readers time and they will LOVE hearing from you!

By the way
*EOM stands for End of Message
