Never Recall a Message
In the world of pointless gestures, the email recall message might take the cake. Recalling an email message is bad for two reasons. First of all, most of the email you are recalling has already been read by the recipient. Most people, especially in a business setting, read their emails promptly. Second of all, recalling an email message makes you look passive and afraid to fess up to making a mistake. Instead of recalling an email message, just simply send out another email apologizing for any wrong do

Ah, email. Since its invention, communication has greatly changed. We email our employers. We email our employees. We email our friends. We email our family. Perhaps we even email, after a few bottles of wine, our pets. Email has changed our lives and the future of email will likely even change it more. Soon, there may be no need to ever even speak.
While email is a great way to stay in touch with everyone, and a great way to assure those we love wellness, enormous fortune, and luck if they forward a chain letter within two hours, it is also the cornerstone of business. Businessmen and Businesswomen, especially when they are away from their office, may rely on email as their number one mode of communication.
Emailing for business comes with a certain etiquette that emailing on a personal level does not. When emailing friends and family, using terms such as “LOL,” sending forwards, and sending mass emails to everyone from your dentist to your third grade soccer coach are all okay. But, in business, these things aren’t very appropriate. Sending something unprofessional in a business email won’t leave your boss with the desire to write LOL when he replies.
Luckily, keeping emails professional is relatively easy. By just remembering a few tips, you will be able to hit “send” without worrying about an unwelcome end.
Be Careful of Sarcasm
The bad thing about email, other than the SPAM, is that it takes away nonverbal communication. The recipient isn’t able to hear the tone of your voice or see the smile on your face as you send them an email. For this reason, jokes and sarcasm may come across not as intended. You may send an email that is meant to lighten the mood or convey a little laughter, but it might not come across as funny; it might just come across as insulting. Keeping emails free of any sort of joking helps to make sure you aren’t misunderstood as being precarious when you are really trying just to be hilarious.
Beware of Brevity
Brevity is typically a good thing in business. Businesspeople are busy people. Brevity in an email, however, can be misunderstood. Replying to an email with the words “Ok” or “Fine” may, to you, seem simple and to the point. To the person on the receiving end, your briefness may be misconstrued as rudeness. You can be brief, but be brief in one or two sentences, instead of one or two words.
Don’t Capitalize Everything
Some people may prefer to write with the Caps Lock enabled as a way to save time. This avenue may seem like it saves seconds, keeping someone from having to make sure they capitalized the proper words or names. However, in the wonderful world of email, writing in all caps is equated with yelling, something you certainly don’t want to be found doing to your boss. For this reason, no emails should ever be sent in all caps. You may be saving time, but you won’t be saving face.

Business Growth Tips: A Roadmap to Business Growth & A Prosperous FutureFor almost three years, JR Andersen, CEO of mid-size software company Andersen High Tech (AHT), and his board have been uneasy. Business growth has been “OK” at eight percent but the market has been growing at a 15 percent annual rate.

Three Ways To Differentiate Your Service BusinessTrue differentiation continues to elude many service businesses today. The competition, given enough motivation, can duplicate or worse, beat the price, terms or features you offer.

Be Careful When Replying
We’ve all been in that situation; our boss sends a pointless or insulting email to a group of employees. We notice that a coworker we really like is also on the list. So, we decide to send them an email making fun of our bosses email. But, instead of simply replying to our beloved coworker, we Reply to All, including our boss. Needless to say, recalling the message won’t help get any of us out of this one. Once an email is sent, the damage is done; thus, being careful when replying, and making sure your email only goes to whomever you intend, is essential. Don’t hit send until you’ve double checked.
Email is an important tool for business. It can help you keep in touch with important people when you are one the road and it can help you close important deals, meet important deadlines, and kiss important butt. However, if you’re unprofessional, it can also get you in a lot of important hot water.
