Take Note
I would like to focus on something, that at first glance, may appear rather trivial. In fact it might seem so inane that you are wondering why I am even writing about it. It’s ‘note taking’.

Improve Your E-Mail Openings
The very first 3-4 words set the tone for how the reader will feel as he or she wades into your e-mail note. How do you control your phrases at the start of a note to foster the kind of reaction you want in the reader?
