Examples are given throughout the book along with a case study that shows how to turn a long, unstructured email into something clear and easy to understand. If you have you ever thought to yourself: "Did they read my message? Why haven't they replied yet?" "Why did they only answer one question when I obviously sent them three?" "Urgh I hate email chains sooooo much!" "They copied my boss! What did I do to deserve that?" If you've ever thought about these things, this book is for you. Then this book is for you. Inside you will find the exact steps you can take to never thinking those things again. When you use the secrets in this book, your employer, colleagues, and teammates will pay attention to what you write. And who knows, they may even thank you for it! FAQ Question: Is this just another book telling me what I should or should not write as a greeting? Answer: Definitely not. This book is about effective business communication via email, the word you use to greet someone is one of the least important things when it comes to conveying your message clearly. In this book there is perhaps one page about greetings. The rest is about how to create and structure meaningful messages. Question: Will this book help me write sales and marketing messages? Answer: No, it will not. There is no sales or marketing methods in this book. The focus of Effective Emails is to give people tools to help them communicate better with their teammates, colleagues, managers, clients, and other people they interact with in the normal course of their work. Sales teams will benefit from this book when communicating with other teams inside their company, but not when selling to customers.
