Video Transcript

"Alright, now we've talked about links, and that you don't want to go on and on. You don't want to have some ten-page email that you're sending to someone. But I want to talk about briefly about being concise in general. And that's in terms of your writing style in the content, the content of your email. You don't want to go on and on with lengthy paragraphs, lengthy sentences, lengthy explanations. When you are writing emails, you want to be very direct and very to the point. Emails are not again, you know, they're not about lengthy conversations, they're not about fluff, they're not about beating around the bush. If that's what you have to do, you need to pick a different communication style. Emails, very direct. "Are we going to have the meeting, are we going to have the board meeting on Thursday at 5 or 6? So that's it. Keep it concise. Keep your writing concise. Keep it very direct. Keep it very to the point."
