Working with People Series Rule 2: Communication Etiquette

Working with People Series Rule 2: Communication Etiquette

Professionalism. A concept lost on so many people recently. I am absolutely baffled by how many professionals I see who have NO CLUE about professionalism with regard to communications.

Take written correspondence for example. It's so funny these days... it seems like everyone, everywhere thinks that anything written is now fair game to be treated like a text message.

U no? LOL!! ;)

It's not. Especially email. E MAIL. Electronic letters.

Dear Daily Dose Follower,

Written emails should be written in complete sentences, with punctuation and Capitalization, where appropriate, and finished with a salutation like this one:

Sincerely,
Brian

J/K! No, seriously. In fact, if you use complete sentences, and avoid YUR basic texting shortcuts, you will stand out above the crowd. because for the most part, you will the only one doing it.

In a world where people have forgotten the basic courtesies and practices of professionals, being truly professional is rare.

And so are you!

And THAT's the DOSE!
