If you want to reach out to a certain person, you need to take appropriate measures so that your message is read and correctly perceived. When we talk, it is much easier to do this with the help of intonation, glance, gestures.
But what about emails, which now constitute such a huge layer of communication between people? Read these helpful tips, they will help you communicate with such skill that even the busiest person will surely reply to your message and remember it!
How do I write emails?
Nothing extra
In business there is a term "elevator presentation". He describes a situation when an entrepreneur accidentally meets an investor in an elevator and he has very little time to give the investor an idea, telling about the most important thing, because when the elevator stops, the investor will leave. There should be no unnecessary information, epithets, water in the letter! Only the most important thing, squeezing out thoughts.
Transparent target
Be polite and tactful, but try to get to the point of your letter as quickly as possible. It should be immediately clear to the addressee.
Indicate the benefit
The world does not revolve around you! For the addressee, first of all, it is his interests that are important. If you need something, tell me what, and then why it will be beneficial to the recipient of the letter. Busy people are sometimes willing to help for free, but if you can give something in return, then your chances will increase.
Format your letter
Don't send a wall of text. Use spaces between paragraphs. When a letter looks good visually, you want to read it, and vice versa - a solid text does not cause enthusiasm, right?
Use numbers
It is much more convenient to reply to structured emails. If there is a letter where the main ideas are divided into points, it is easier to answer each point separately. The easier it is to reply to a letter, the more likely it will be that you will still be answered.
Send again
I use this trick too. If you have not received an answer to the letter, please copy it and send it again. Do not add additional text there, do not ask if the addressee received the previous letter. Just send the same.
Don't send press releases
You should not immediately attach your project to the letter, the addressee does not need it at all. Wait for a response first, and then send additional information and files.
Ask questions gradually
Divide your questions into several parts, and therefore into several letters. Ask them gradually, first wait for an answer, then a letter with new questions was sent. So you will show the person that you know how to value his time, he will be more willing to answer you.
No jargon
Avoid highly specialized words that the recipient may not know. With these words, you can make the addressee unwilling to continue the correspondence.
Be funny
Be creative with humor when writing your letter. If the recipient finds it interesting to read it, you will support the information in the letter with a beneficial emotional background, and your chances of success will significantly increase.
