No doubt, email is the most basic means of communication in business today. The newer developments in the online media like social media have not in any way reduced the value of business communications via email.
As such, company employees and their business executives need to focus on improving their email writing skills. As you probably know, a well crafted email can land you a job bringing in millions of dollars annually whereas an inadequate email can make you lose your best client or customer.
That is the power of communication via email.
Improving your email communication skills is especially important, because written communications can be easily misinterpreted. Because your recipient is unable to see your face or hear your voice, the tone of your message should be watched closely. In fact, after writing any email make it a habit to read through it all over to ensure you are setting the right tone.
