Stop Saying 'Just Checking In'! Try This Instead

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

Why I Ditched “Please Advise” for Good!

Ever feel awkward using “Please advise” in emails? 😅 I totally get it—sometimes it sounds cold or even a bit rude. But I’ve found better ways to ask for help without the cringe! 🙈 Here’s what I do instead: • I ask, “Can you please provide guidance?” when I need clear steps. • I say, “May I get your advice?” if I want someone’s opinion. • I use, “I’d appreciate your input,” to show I value their thoughts. • For quick updates, I just say, “Please let me know your thoughts!” And if I’m keeping it casual with a coworker I know well: • “What do you recommend?” • “What should I do?” • “Can you help me?” These phrases feel way more genuine and friendly. ❤️ Trust me, your emails will sound warmer—and you’ll get better responses! Try swapping out “Please advise” next time. You’ll thank me later! #EmailTips #WorkLife #Communication #Education
