When Not to Press \u2018Send\u2019 on That E-mail<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a time to e-mail, and a time to call. Sometimes in the rush to be responsive you\u2019ll instantly send an e-mail, but doing so may backfire.<\/p>\n

When should you e-mail and when should you maybe wait to respond until you can call or even talk in-person? Forbes.com recently highlighted times when you absolutely should not send that e-mail. Some of their biggest e-mail no-no\u2019s:<\/p>\n

Sending a long response.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you could write what you\u2019re thinking in one sentence and your e-mail is still three paragraphs long, you\u2019re in trouble,\u201d the article notes. For example, maybe you\u2019re correcting a client\u2019s confusion over a transaction. You may end up dedicating one section of your e-mail to how you understand why the person might be confused and then another section to what you think should be done, and a third section honing in on how your plan is really the better route to go. The longer the e-mail, though, the more lines the other person could potentially misread.<\/p>\n

Instead, be succinct with your message. If you disagree with someone, just write \u201cI\u2019m not sure we\u2019re on the same page\u201d or \u201cI had a different read on it\u201d \u2013 is more efficient \u2013 and nicer than going on and on, the article notes.<\/p>\n

Too much punctuation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your e-mail has too much emphasis, you may want to second-guess sending it. For example, if you\u2019ve made every other word italicized, bold, or in all caps and punctuated everywhere \u2013 the other person will perceive you as being extreme. \u201cIf your sentiments aren\u2019t positive, the other person could easily think you\u2019re trying to convey anger \u2013 as opposed to say, simple confusion,\u201d the article notes. Limit yourself to one punctuation mark and no italics.<\/p>\n

Your response is confusing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve had a long, busy day and you keep re-reading the e-mail you\u2019re crafting over and over again to make sure it makes sense. You may be better off waiting to press send until you\u2019re more alert. If it\u2019s absolutely urgent, send a response with a short message that promises to send more details later. That way you\u2019ve confirmed you received the other person\u2019s message and have let her know you\u2019ll be in touch with more information soon. This provides you more time to compose your response and more time to focus on making it succinct.<\/p>\n
