Manners in woking with international prospects
A day like every other day. I start reading my email and again have to digg through tons of messages arriving via social or business networks suggesting cooperation on this or that. Most of them in broken english. Most of them from people whose native language is one of the languages listed in my profile. Another case of not done homework. If you want to contact me, wouldn’t it be basic good manners to check out my profile and see if you could write me a proper email in one of the languages you and I know best ? Wouldn’t it also save both of us a lot of time if you would first check out my corporate website to see if I am at all in your line of business or maybe a competitor or maybe for sure not interested at all ? Doesn’t it cross your mind that by not doing that you tend to create an initial opinion in my mind that you are just too lazy to do that and do not value my time at all ?
Strange.
