Email is an important part of all of our lives – both personally and professionally. When you send a request through email, you want to make sure it’s being followed.

First, pay attention to the subject line. It’s the first thing the recipient sees, and depending on what it says, they may or may not be likely to open it and read it.

Make sure you include a greeting. Don’t just open with your demands. A personal touch shows a level of genuine interest that many people appreciate.

If your company is behind the times with new technology, it may be time to get them up to speed. But working with co-workers who are set in their ways presents a challenge. How do you introduce them to the new technology without scaring them?

Start small and tackle one issue at a time. Try introducing just one new thing at a time, such as sharing the minutes from a meeting online instead of printing them.

Research all the options to solve your issue. Make sure your solution is something that works for everyone, not just for you.
