Business Email Phrases (Part 10): Write Professionally and Assertively

Boost your business email communication with these professional phrases. Learn how to write more assertive and effective emails.

Crafting professional and assertive business emails is essential for effective communication. In this video, we introduce phrases to help you sound more confident and clear in your emails.

Instead of saying, "I just wanted to ask for an update", use "Please provide me with an update on...". This phrase is more direct and conveys a sense of urgency. When scheduling meetings, replace "Does next Tuesday still work for our call?" with "Looking forward to our call next Tuesday". This wording is more positive and assertive, indicating confidence in the planned arrangement.

Avoid phrases like "I know you are busy but..." and opt for "I'd appreciate your time to consider..." which respects the recipient's time while still being assertive. Finally, rather than saying "let me know!" be specific and say, "Let me know by tomorrow at 11am". This provides a clear deadline, helping ensure prompt responses.

These adjustments will elevate your business emails, making them more professional and effective. Watch our video to learn more tips and enhance your email communication skills!
