I don’t know about you but I get a LOT of email! Even after the spam filter has done its thing I’m still more or less deluged and of course every single mail must be answered, which means I also send a lot of mails (btw: If you’ve sent me email and I haven’t answered – have patience, I will :o)
Every email says something about the person who’s sent it. It serves in some way to tell people who you are. So your mission this Monday is to make yourself an email signature that somehow expresses who you are and what you do and which will make whoever receives your email a little happier.
I’ve seen many great examples. My Iowan buddy Mike Wagner signs all his emails:
Keep creating,
Mike
Phil Gerbyshak who blogs at Make It Great of course has no choice but to sign his
Make it a GREAT day!
Phil
Some people end their emails with a funny quote or a wise saying, such as these:
All generalizations are false.
I don’t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
“Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.”
So think about how you can sign all your mails in a way that expresses who you are AND makes whoever reads it a little happier. If you come up with something cool (or if you already use a great email signature), please post it here in a comment – I’d love to see how you do it :o)
