Ever feel awkward sending those "just checking in" emails? 😅 I used to, too! But honestly, they rarely get the replies I want. Here’s what I do now to get real responses (and not sound passive-aggressive 🙈): • I reply directly to my last email—no need for long recaps! • I remind folks of deadlines & ask for quick status updates. • I mention our last convo and ask about next steps. • I recap key points with bullet lists (super clear!) • I share new info, updates, or even a recent win. • I ask if they have questions or want to catch up. • Sometimes, I’ll even offer a discount or free trial to spark action! The trick? Keep it short, direct, and helpful. ❤️ I’ve found my response rates shot up when I ditched “just checking in” for these friendlier, more specific messages. Give it a try and let me know how it goes! #EmailTips #ProfessionalCommunication #WorkSmarter #Education
