You’re struggling to communicate effectively in emails. How can you improve your writing skills?
1). Always think like a writer or a publisher - write your title or subject line last. 2). Remember, the more you write the better you become! 3). If possible, take your time to research the recipient's background, professional accomplishments, and interests - before sending the email. This process can be overwhelming in the beginning, but will save you a lot of frustrations down the road. 4). When dealing with your first time recipient(s), try and write a short email to gauge recipient's writing style or interests, then adjust your response accordingly! 5). If all of the above fails to yield exceptional results, a polite request for a quick call to gauge interests can be a game-changer!
