100 of Your Toughest Business Emails - Megan Sharma
Email. We live and breathe it at work. Most of us can’t get away from it. The average office worker receives 121 emails per day.
Our increasingly global economy also means that we work across time zones. When those time zones don’t match up, we often rely on email to get work done.
As a former Corporate Communications Manager for a fast-paced IT consulting company, I know firsthand the power of words to help or hinder.
I spent nearly six years ghost writing for executives and coming up with innumerable ways to say things that people might not like.
This experience bestowed upon me an unexpected gift: the ability to conjure up a tactful way of saying just about anything, usually on the fly.
Yet, most of us in the business world don’t have a Corporate Communications Manager we can run to when we’re not quite sure how to word an email.
That is why I have created this book.
I want to help you smooth over your email language while still making your point.
I want to provide you with an easy reference guide for whenever you’re stumped on what to say.
And, finally, I want to help you avoid some of the inevitable drama that goes hand in hand with business communications.
It’s important to note that much of the language found in this book relies on references and colloquialisms most familiar to American readers. When dealing with an international audience, please consider your reader’s likely familiarity with the language you choose.
With my plug and play templates, you, too, can master even the toughest of business emails.
Let’s dive in!
