Measure twice. Cut once.
Bro…either you need to relax or get a new job. Your email recipient is human and doesn’t expect perfection
Really bad advice. Do not relax. Continue to be vigilant.
Literally almost sent a “Kind retards” my first week as an associate. Drafted basically all my emails in a blank email with no addressees before copy/pasting for my entire career.
Haha 🤣 priceless.
You’re absolutely right, and I know that now (20 years later), but I wouldn’t have heard it as a week old associate.
You should use AI to reread emails before sending. Will usually catch the stuff / tone a human review won’t
Oh this one is easy. Set a 10 minute delay on all outgoing emails.
Agree, I was on my way to comment this! I have a 2 minute delay which is all I typically need to go back and read it 4 more times lol
You can recover from email mistakes, as long as you don’t send emails to the wrong people. I’d suggest you focus on double-checking identities of your recipients. You should also proofread the message, but you are going to have a typo or two every once in awhile. It’s not the end of the world.
I taped a sticky note checklist to my computer to double check certain things before sending. You can also set up a timed delay that allows you to cancel the email within a short time after sending.
Yep. That’s how it goes
The more reps you get, the better you become at understanding what is relevant and what is just noise. For typos and stuff, read everything out loud and then also check via AI before sending.
I got an email recently where the guy (my colleague) misspelled his name. It’s all good. People understand we are human.
Now do I have nightmares of doing that? Yes I do.
Pick up the phone. We are all tired of emails.
Don’t call me I hate that
Even when the email is perfect, it can still blow up your case and your life because some people are deluded and unreasonable. So, do your best and know that even it all craps out, you are tough enough to get through it.
