10 Netiquette core policies to achieve compliments and success

Strive For Compliments When Sending Email!

Remember when you have been complimented on a skill, hobby or other aspect of your activities?  It always feels great.  Email should not be an exception to this.  Not only is it a personal boost, but it is also a way to achieve better results in your communications.  All email senders want to be understood.  Similarly, most want to be complimented or at least feel that their messages are appreciated, well-received, opened and read.  Be mindful of the emails you send. Here are 12 core principals to follow. Add more of your own if you feel this to be appropriate. Implementing these principals should bring about a discernable increase in compliments, return messages and furthering of your goals.

1. Pay attention to detail
2. Reread your email from the perspective of how you would want to see it
3. Be upbeat and enthusiastic
4. If explaining something, verify the answer can be understood from any viewpoint
5. Allow more detail when sending overseas or to strangers – avoid acronyms, colloquialisms and jokes
6. Clearly separate questions from answers – Reread these and judge if the answers are clear
7.  Request a response verifying receipt
8. If you do not receive a response within 24 hours, write a follow up note (clearly state you are just making sure the email was delivered)
9. Do not express overt disappointments or admonish the email receiver for failure to reply, brief answers or  Netiquette mistakes
10. Encourage next steps

 Paul Babicki and Frank Kovacs are co-authoring a new book on Netiquette IQ for job seekers, recruiters and employers (no official title as yet!). This book is a follow up to Paul’s current release. This book will be a part of the forthcoming Netiquette IQ compendium featuring a series of books on specific areas of Netiquette; education, sales, social media, etc. We would desire and encourage feedback from anyone who would like to contribute their thought ideas, even a segment to include in the book.

We wish to have the book to cover as many pertinent topics as possible for the job seeker, recruiter and employer. There will be an acknowledgement page in the book listing those whose ideas or suggestions are used. The persons with the five top ideas will be sent a complimentary signed copy of my current book and a copy of the new one. Comments will be closed on 1/31/2014. Kindly submit your suggestion(s) to my blog post of 12/26/2013 in the comment field.

 Happy emailing and good Netiquette!
