    Email is the most popular method of business communication, so it’s essential to get it right. Emails are typically aren’t as formal as letters. However, they are required to be still professional enough to present the right image of you and your organization.

    Here is how you can professionally respond to an email:

    • Begin with a greeting.
    • Thank the recipient for sending out the email
    • State your purpose of response
    • Add your closing remarks
    • End with an appropriate closing with your name

    Boomerang’s analysis found that the average reply time is about 23 hours, but that is because there is a good chunk of people who are responding to emails late.

    50% of responses takes 2 hours, and research from one study has shown that the most typical email response time is 2 minutes.

    Fun fact, more than 70% of people expects a reply from colleagues within 4 hours.

    “FYI” can come off as harsh and can quickly become a tool in passive-aggressive communication when including it in an email to or from someone else

    “FYI, you should have known about this” –

    You can instead, rephrase it as ‘By the way, in the case that this was missed out, I just want to mention again that….’

    Make your message clear with grace and politeness so that the email does not rub the recipient in the wrong way or make them think that there is a hidden motive behind it.

    There is a need to acknowledge numerous kinds of emails in business. Professionals find it essential to add further information to an acknowledgment email that they send out. As such, acknowledgment emails are now a critical role in business.

    Here’s what you should remember when writing acknowledgment emails:

    • Strengthen agreements or revise the terms of the contract if you are at the point of reaching an agreement.
    • Notify clients that you have read their emails, so they know how to proceed.
    • Inform your client should there be any changes in any agreement

    If you are requesting something to be done or acknowledged in a professional email, it is imperative that you explain what you require and make sure to ask it in the right manner. If you don’t, there is a good chance the person will say no as they will be annoyed with you for not being direct or polite.

    A formal email containing a request is simple and straightforward:

    1. Begin the email by explaining what you are writing about and what the purpose is
    2. Ask them the questions or lay your request clearly
    3. End your email by stating when you need the information by
    4.  Thank them in advance for doing what you require them to do

    Sometimes we do not respond to emails right away. Sometimes we delay it until the next day, week, or month.

    While it is not appropriate, sometimes, you have to own up to the late response.

    You can try:

    • My apologies for the slow reply
    • Sorry for the delayed response
    • My sincere apologies for the slow reply

    No matter how they happen, errors are a fact of business. One way or the other, you will have to transmit out an apology email. Email keeps things in writing, and everyone gets a date-stamped, time-stamped report of the conversation.

    Here are some ways you can apologize via email:

    1. I am sorry. I did not realize the impact of
    2. Please accept our deepest apologies for
    3. Please accept my sincere apologies for
    4. Please accept this as my formal apology for
    5. Please allow me to apologize for
    6. I would like to express my deep regrets for
    7. I would like to apologize on behalf of our company

    How you end, your email is important. It is your ultimate chance to make an excellent first impression on the recipient.

    What is the best way to end a letter or email message? Your closing needs to give the recipient positive feelings about you.

    Closing Examples:

    • Sincerely Regards, Yours truly, and Yours sincerely
    • Warm regards, Best wishes, and With appreciation
    • Many thanks, respectfully, warm wishes, yours cordially

    PS stands for postscript. It originates from the Latin post-scriptum, which means “written after.” A postscript is an added thought added to written messages that come after it is completed.

    If the thought of sending out a follow-up email makes you feel uncomfortable, you’re definitely not alone. Your senses tell us that if someone has not responded to your original email, they are not interested.

    When you do send it out, it is critical that you keep the following in mind.

    • Before drafting the email, put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself how often you would want to receive a follow-up email and how you would like for it to be drafted.
    • Add context
    • Add value
    • Explain why you’re emailing
    • Include a Call-To Action
    • Post-Training Support: A vast majority of training does not have any effect beyond 120 days. But to work, training has to have a strong pre- and post-training component. Post-training reinforcement consequently helps individuals to recall the understanding and ask questions.

    • Blended Learning: Learning does not occur in the classroom. Virtually everybody prefers distinct ways of learning. Successful learning should have a multi-channel, multi-modal strategy.

    • We Understand The Industry: Similarly, we’ve got a profound comprehension of the business, business design, challenges, strategy and the that our participants are in and have designed the courseware to cater to their professional needs.

    • Course Content: Knowles Training Institute’s material is relevant, of high quality and provide specific learning outputs. As a result, Participants will leave the training course feeling as they have gained a strong understanding and will also be in a position to execute what they have learned sensibly.

    • Course Development — The workshop modules follow a systematic and logical arrangement. Therefore, this structure helps to ensure that the course material allows the facilitators to deliver the course in a logical arrangement. Consider the subjects as building bricks into learning, our facilitators slowly build towards a comprehensive picture of this entire topic.
