6 Email Tips Working Professionals Need to Know!

👨🏻‍💻 I never received formal "email training." And there are definitely no tutorials for writing effective emails at work. In this video I share best practices for the 6 Most Common Types of Workplace Emails I learned the hard way over the past few years working as a Product Marketer! Before diving into email best practices, you should know that there are 2 main types of emails we encounter at work: 1️⃣ Request-and-reply emails that require input from the reader 2️⃣ Confirmation emails that serve as a record of a conversation or decision Cold emails where you reach out to a colleague for the first time would fall under the "request-and-reply" type of email and a best practice there would be start off the email by mentioning how you came across their profile Meeting minutes would fall under "confirmation emails" and a tip there is to include the Key Takeaways and Action Items up front, and perhaps even highlight the specific action owners so there is no room for miscommunication. Newsletters and Project recaps are usually longer in length, so I recommend adding a "too long, didn't read" - or tl;dr - section up top so others can get the most important content right at the beginning and skim through the rest!
