8. When you are emailing a photograph, ensure you have re-sized the photo. Do not automatically attach the photo with your email as the photo is usually large. When it is opened by the recipient, it would take up the whole screen and more. Don’t know how to re-size photo? Check the software which comes with your digital camera. It usually has some photo re-sizing software included.

In today’s 24/7 driven business word, accountability is becoming a more critical issue for every business owner, manager, executive and salesperson. The challenge is to realize that accountability is just not a single issue, but an issue with many supporting elements. To maintain and thrive as an accountable individual first requires overcoming the fear to embrace these elements and then a plan of Action to ensure that YOU are an accountable indiv
I believe a little email etiquette goes a long way. Here are some email basics which should be considered when you are using email:
1. Realise that if you are emailing huge files, please call or email the recipient first and alert him that you will be doing so. Do not bomb people’s Inbox with a file that is 10 Mb in size. It’s rude, yes, downright rude because that huge attachment itself will take a long time to download, particularly if the recipient uses an email client programme like Microsoft Outlook Express.
2. It is also rude not to put a salutation on the email. You may think it’s okay, after all the email is intended for the recipient but a “Dear (recipient’s name)” or “Hi (recipient’s name)” won’t take more than 2 seconds to type.
3. Do not put words you speak directly into your email. Especially if you tend to speak in short sentences. You will come across as curt and abrupt in your email. Read aloud your email and see if the words are jarring. If they are, it’s time to re-write!
4. Do not ’scream’ in your email. No capitals all the way (IT IS VERY HARD TO READ WORDS IN ALL CAPS), no exclamation marks in succession (like this !!!!!), no crazy typefaces in hot pink and hot green unless you are emailing a friend of yours whom I presume knows you well.
5. When you are emailing an attachment, please tell the recipient how big the attachment is and what it is, unless it is some surprise. Don’t know how to find out the attachment’s size? Just right-click on the file you’re sending and scroll down to “Properties”. Click that and you will see how big your file is.
6. If you are emailing a number of people and they don’t know each other, please put them under BCC (which stands for Blind Carbon Copy). It means they will not see each other’s email addresses when they open your email. This also applies when you are forwarding a joke to friends. Erase the rest of the other people’s email addresses and just forward the crux of the email which is the joke itself. Your recipients don’t need to see the long list of email addresses. Note: unethical companies mine these email addresses for spamming when everyone’s email address is exposed in forwarded emails.
7. When you are posting a reply to a mailing list group such as YahooGroups, please erase the rest of the old message if you don’t want to annoy others who have read these messages before. Just get to the point.

It is so easy to do. A small typo. But it can have big consequences. Especially if it is in your media release.It can cause millions in lost sales, damage your reputation forever and cost you political elections.Just take the case of Western Australia's last state election. A missing zero in a media release on the costing of a water canal development just days before the election most certainly contributed to a loss of voter confiden

How well do you handle objections?The fact is, most people think they handle objections with ease. The reality paints a different picture. I claim that you could have closed as much as 25% of last year’s lost sales by simply understanding why the customer is objecting. Oh…and by keeping your noisy trap closed for a minute or two.“I really don’t understand why this upgrade costs extra when Acme doesn’t charge for it.” Ri
