How to Write Emails That Get the Job Done

August 16, 2021 By EMI

This is a guest blog by Pamela A. Scott

write emailsWhat if you could write really good emails? Would it boost your career?

I’m sure it would because being able to write really good emails would make you stand out from the crowd. Most people write emails that are average or below average.

How do you know if your emails are above average, or even really good? Here’s my formula for writing emails that set you apart from the others and endear you to your boss.

Your reader can:

  • Read and understand your email the first time through
  • Find your main point quickly
  • See whether or not he/she needs to take action now, then do so
  • Find the details needed to understand your message and act accordingly
  • Go on about his/her day without having to ask clarifying questions via another email or phone call

What Makes You YOU?What do you want to be known for as a professional? Call it personal branding if that phrase means something to you. What do you want your peers, bosses, clients, and professional associates to say about you? 

How can you stand out from the crowd? What differentiates you from your professional associates? 

For seven years, I did the kickoff session for a future leaders program for the Georgia chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies. Participants were young engineers with a few years on the job. We could have anywhere from 25 to 50 in the room.  

I always asked them to tell me about their company. Every one of them said something along the lines of “we’re the best . . .” Basically, they all said the same thing — engineering and technical skills. 

Then I’d ask what differentiates their firm from others in the room. Silence.  

Let’s take that to the individual level. What makes you YOU? What do you want people to remember about you?  

Here are some ideas to get you thinking about yourself.
