Don’t forget the salutation at the beginning of an e-mail. I see a lot of e-mails that start with the body of content.
When you greet someone properly, even online, you show respect for them and also solidify your polished brand.

Lee Tyree is the Business Development Manager for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal. As this month’s Guest Blogger, he wants to show you how to treat it more than just a weekly newspaper. He wants you to find business and strategic connections by spending a little time getting to know your business journal.
We are the only local publication offered weekly in print with a digital edition. We’re continuously on the Web at www.mspbj.com, with e-mail alerts coming out regularly for various industries. Many times our editorial reporting is exclusive, and you can learn from the companies as they share their own “inside stories.” Check out the People Section for comprehensive lists of newsmakers. Our print Calendar lists networking events, seminars, and meetings. The Top 25 Lists rank more than 90 industries and include key information on each company for you to mine for contacts and check out your competition.
One of the favorite things I do is present the SmartReader Strategy Seminar. I teach individuals and groups how to approach and maximize this information within thirty minutes a week. The next time you pick up your Business Journal, I hope you see it for all that it offers.
You can contact Lee directly to find out about SmartReader Seminars and get any Business Journal questions answered: 612.288.2147 or leetyree@bizjournals.com. For Guest Blogger requests, Facebook message me at www.facebook.com/roshini.rajkumar.
After much anticipation and a lot of hard, but good, work, I’m pleased to say my first book is here. I held the first copy in my hands an hour ago and love how it feels. I also like how it smells…after being advised by my friend Sharon in Boston to smell it.
I’m pleased to share Communicate That! with the world.

A walk down memory lane as I talked business credit with their reporter.
A couple of my LinkedIn Groups have had discussions lately about grammar and presenting well in print. That got me thinking about e-mails. I’ve received quite a few lately with typos and grammatical errors.
Your e-mail history is part of your individual and company business record. It deserves as much attention as you give to proofing other written materials. If you truly want to present your best, give your e-mail attention.
I often say to clients: If your hard drive were to become evidence in a trial and opened up for the world to see, would you be proud or embarrassed?
