However, when considering this tried-and-true tenet with regard to writing, one should remember that efficient use of time is not always a matter of quantity but rather of quality.
Remember: It is not how much time you spend but how you spend your time that truly matters when it comes to corresponding with your clients.
Here are a few tips when it comes to drafting emails to clients:
- Nothing says “I don’t have the time to think of you as a human being” quite like extreme succinctness. Succinctness can be good, but not at the expense of making a connection.
- If you exhibit no awareness of your target audience, it’s going to look like you view these clients as mere transactions and not as valued customers.
- Don’t waste time being overly verbose. Overwrought writing can seem insincere or contrived, which makes your connection with the client seem forced and maybe even desperate.
- Don’t be afraid to get to the point. Be sure to write enough to indicate you've put a little time into your email, but remember: nobody wants to read an email loaded with text.
- Avoid really obvious business phraseology -- it makes you seem unoriginal and lazy, and can even possibly offend your clients.
- Try to be as original and sincere as possible. If you’re selling something, don’t say what you think you a salesperson should say--just explain in your own words why your product or service is superior and worthwhile to the customer. They will find your candor and originality refreshing.
