Emailing for Business - Softcover

Each day, people send and receive dozens, if not hundreds of work-related emails. That's up to 25,000 (or more!) emails per year. One million emails over the course of your career. Email allows us to communicate as rapidly with business contracts across the country as co-workers sitting down the hall. It allows us to send the same information to an entire corporation with the click of a button. Email has all but replaced the corporate memo that was used by past generations as the main form of written workplace communication. It has become so ubiquitous that people entering the workforce today can't imagine how business was done without it. In fact, many of us have experienced the almost complete paralysis that happens in the modern company when the internet or mail server goes down. Because it has become so ingrained in corporate life, email is a powerful tool. It is a tool that must be used carefully and used well to be effective. Emailing for Business will teach you to control this tool and use it to your advantage.
