Don't Rush Your Emails

Recently I was speaking to a young professional who was so distraught over a recent email he had sent to potential clients.  What was his frustration?  The young professional sent an email to prospective clients asking them "not" to consider his company for new business!  Hmm, so what should he do?

  1. Contact all of his potential clients and apologize for the misunderstanding.
  2. Find humor in your mistake - it happens to all of us.
  3. If the potential client responds negatively, you can almost be assured that you never had a chance with that client to begin with.
Things happen and knowing you will make mistakes don't take it too hard - there is always another day to do better.
