A Cool Email Communication TipWritten by Victoria Ring
If I sent you an email that said: “The Big Bear is being replaced by Giant Eagle.” you probably would have no idea what I was talking about. First you would try to figure out what “Big Bear” and “Giant Eagle” meant. You would surmise that these must be important names because they are capitalized – but you still don’t have enough information to go on. At this point you have only 3 possible choices: 1. Delete email and forget about it; 2. Reply to my email and ask me to what I am referring to; or 3. Take a guess. Most people do not like to appear they misunderstood something, so majority of people faced with this or a similar situation will try to guess at meaning. If you live in California, you may think “Big Bear” is referring to Big Bear Lake. If you live in Arizona on an Indian Reservation, you may think “Big Bear” is an Indian name and refers to an actual person. And if by some chance another person with an Indian name of “Giant Eagle” existed – my email could be totally misunderstood and cause my Indian friend to tell others about how a man named Big Bear is near death and will be replaced by a man named Giant Eagle. (Sound too far-fetched? Misunderstandings that turn into catastrophes like this happen every single day.) But if you lived in Columbus, Ohio – you would automatically understand that “Big Bear” and “Giant Eagle” are two grocery store chains. So in my original email I should have really said: “The Big Bear grocery store is being replaced by Giant Eagle grocery store.” By simply adding words “grocery store” for clarity – I could send my email to anyone in world and they would probably understand what it meant without question. The point of this article is that YOU need to think about person receiving your email before you click SEND button. Just because you understand what your email means, doesn’t mean person receiving your email will know what you mean. I get emails from people (including attorneys) every day with messages like: “I contacted you about 9 months ago. Do you remember me?” There is no name, no phone number and no other information but I am supposed to remember some unknown person that I spoke to 9 months ago. Come on folks! I don’t know of anyone on planet earth who could do this.
