Remember
Clients pay for us to be educated and know our stuff People buy based on features not benefits They also pay us to make things simple for them Our emails and other communication can be a sales tool when used effectively They reveal how our mind works We want our written word to embody our brand promise, particularly the CLARITY part!
Internal Emails
Emails can be misconstrued sometimes which can damage morale If you follow the rules I have laid out, you will have less room for interpretation and communicate with much more clarity Some conversations should be saved for phone or in person Your email is the company email; do not forget this! If you send a poorly constructed email to a colleague; do not expect a well constructed one back!
Letters
Letters are used less and less in the modern world.
Same principles apply Letters should be used when management deems it appropriate to step up the formality of the communication Letters should always be template driven when possible; check with colleagues first before drafting (yammer would be ideal) Letters should take on a more formal tone eg no cheers etc Letters should be used and signed off by partner whenever advice of any kind is being given; emails are not suitable for this in most cases
Social Media
Bourke Group is on;
Facebook Linkdin Twitter Youtube
All Group communication via these mediums at present must filter through Matt. Also, employees with private accounts look at what happened with energy watch you still have a responsibility as a BG employee when using privately.
Thank you
