You know how it goes: Some potential client emails you about working together. If you take on a project knowing that your work and his money will be a complete waste, it’s (in my humble opinion) wrong not to tell this person the state of affairs.… So how often do you say it to your prospects? Doesn’t matter.

Nifty systems for organizing your email. Why are you spending so much time on email in the first place? Email is not your job. If that conference call requires so little of your attention that you can return emails at the same time, why are you on it? It’s that most of us use the time we do have badly. Hiring an intern.

We worked on a project for a particularly antagonistic individual. If he got a shirty email, he would leave it until the next day and then compose a polite, balanced reply. He also said that if you wait before replying to abusive emails, you never say anything in the heat of the moment. How right he was. C) Changing their mind.

My client had sent me an email telling me to meet her an hour earlier. I, in return, was calm, clear, and polite, carefully getting the information I needed to complete her project, and ignoring her insulting manner. At the job’s conclusion, she told me there was more cash on the table and offered me a second project.

We can’t hear a person’s voice when we read an email. “I want this project to begin immediately.&# (Yes, sir!). We’ve already set the project in motion.). Read emails aloud – with a smile. Except online, in writing, there aren’t any bodies at all. All we see are blunt words. Use humour.

Workaholics of the world: start working smarter instead of keeping yourself up all night working on a project. Turn off your cell phone, close your email, get off Twitter, stop checking Facebook, stop listening to music, and focus while you’re doing your work. This takes that concept and throws it out the window.
