Business Etiquette - Quick Tips for Work at Home Moms

Email Etiquette

As a work-at-home, Internet-based mom, using email to communicate with clients, customers and colleagues saves time, not to mention it prevents them from hearing the commotion that is often in the background.  As such, the following are some helpful etiquette precepts that have emerged in the email culture.
 

Always respond in a timely manner, keep it short and don’t get emotional!

Keep it professional; without visual cues, the receiver can often misinterpret the tone of an email.

Also, know when an email is appropriate.  The more serious the message, the less appropriate email becomes as a medium.
