Working at Home: 7 Follow Up Etiquette Methods

I simply learned a very important lesson. I'd someone register with find out about my work from home business. She came in via a coop I was participating in and was a bit baffled as to why she received communication from the one who ran the coop in addition to me. She just wanted to know who I 

was. 

I replied to her in my own normal, amusing manner. The issue was that she did not know me and she was not impressed with my reaction. In-fact, she was actually insulted. She was kind enough to tell me of the old saying,' You never have another chance to create a good first impression.' 

As I considered this I came to appreciate that when working with people that you do not know and that don't know you, you really should be careful in how you respond and interact with others. So, I wrote a number of 'Followup Etiquette Guidelines' that seem appropriate. 

Tip 1: Respond quickly. Too usually we may possibly get an e-mail or have a note on our answering machine that we just defer giving an answer to. That person was type of enough to make an effort to learn more about what we are providing. We owe it to them to react to them as quickly as possible. In the end, it'll be a advantage to us to do so. 

Tip 2: Take the time and energy to think out a great reaction to the question. Be prepared before you return the decision. Read and reread an answer to an e-mail. Make sure you have answered the question or be as organized as possible to do so.

Tip 3: Don't play the role of too smart or amusing with your reaction. Anyone you're working with may take it a different way and actually, while you may act as funny be insulted. 

Tip 4: Do not ask delivery and read statements. Just ask the individual the-body of the e-mail to tell you that they got your message. 

Tip 5: Do not use abbreviations. There are lots of e-mail abbreviations used in order to save your self time in writing. But most of them are confusing and can be misunderstood. 

Tip 6: Keep is short, easy and to the level. Remember, an individual's time is precious. They want there question answered in as little writing as possible. They don't need to read a book. 

Suggestion 7: Be respectful and polite. Even though you are asked a question that you've already answered or that the solution seems clear, make an effort to describe it. Do not make the other person feel 'foolish' for asking the question. 

There are many other 'etiquette' instructions. These are only a few that I've personally learned. The bottom line is this: When some one really wants to learn about you and your organization, you owe it in their mind to respond quickly, plainly, and appropriately. 

After all, perhaps not only does it help them, it helps you as you handle an individual who could be the next team member.
