    3.   The Top 10 Do’s

1. Parts of Email
Example Subjects

The Subject is more important than the email itself, it should be focused, clear and informative.

Strong Subjects:

Weak Subjects:

         First line of the email message

Example Greetings: don’t misspell the name!

Example Sign-offs before the Signature: identify yourself, company and contact information.

        Sincerely,

        Thanks,

Signature

        Name
        Title, company name
        Email
        Phone/Fax
        Web Address
2. Email Features
There are many features that are included in emails; here I will highlight just a few important ones.

Spelling: Always proofread before sending: spelling, punctuation and grammar. [F7]

Insert: Since emails are filtered here are a few tips regarding attachments and links:

        Keep file sizes small.
        ZIP or PDF attachments (exe, jpg, xls, doc are sometimes considered spam).
        When replying, do not resend attachments again.
        Use links whenever possible to files that are stored online or in shared folders.

Options: If the email is very important, under options request a read receipt, this way you can ensure
the email has arrived at its destination.

Reply to All: Stop and think before hitting reply to all sometimes you may just need to hit reply.

3. The Top 10 Do’s
        Write a meaningful subject line; don’t repeat first line of your email in your subject line.
        Keep the message focused and readable.
        Avoid large attachments.
        Identify yourself clearly.
        Be polite and kind.
        Proofread, check spelling, grammar and punctuation.
        Be professional at work and informal with friends; don’t use personal Email accounts for
        company business.
        Respond quickly.
        Show Respect and Restraint.
        Use plain formatting, without stationary backgrounds, images, wallpapers or fancy stylized
        fonts.


4. Email Format
    The broad format of the Intro Mail can be divided into the following parts:

    First Part: Remember you have posed a question in the subject line – the next step
    immediately after that is to provide a solution – the first 50 words of your Intro Mail should
    explain as to what benefit the client has in working with your company.

    The benefit should be NOT subjective in nature – give them FACTS – for e.g. – ‘This is how
    MICROSOFT has benefited using our services…’!!
Second Part: Next 150-200 words should explain in crisp manner ‘What solution your
company is providing’ – tailor made this part based on the individual client requirement –
for e.g. – in case of a potential automotive client – emphasize about your automotive
panels!!

Last Concluding Part: The BIGGEST mistake which EVERY Online Panel Company does is NOT
telling the client what next to do – simply saying ‘for your next project contact is not
enough’ – maybe at that time the client doesn’t need your services – are you going to
WASTE a GOLDEN Opportunity to connect with your potential client – after all the client has
taken pains to go through your Intro mail.
