I enjoyed the course and gave some useful insights and basic errors I was making in my work emails. I was a little disappointed with the managing your inbox as the method mentioned wasn't suitable so this didn't help my overflowing inbox, I know other staff members were eager to hear my feedback on this.

Very comprehensive, detailed, simple and easy to understand. It covered all key elements of email writing, explained in a structured manner with relevant examples. Focuses on clarity of thought and crisp content- use less to do more. Thank you & God bless!

By Jay Asa on 4/5/2022

relatively expensive for its content. also no resources. 1. people learn from examples. a pdf with examples would have been nice 2. a pdf of a summary would have been nice. 3. for such a short course, pricing could also be adjusted to reflect that.

By Masha B. on 3/5/2022

A great course explained in a very clear and efficient way. I have already implemented what I learned and made a great change in my email writing. Colleagues have noticed such change and even congratulated me. I am so happy I decided to take this course and I am looking forward to the next one - Better business writing skills!

By Jorge R Trejo on 2/15/2022

This course was excellent to describe how to take control of your email as well as how to structure an email with concise and to the point content and relativity. Beautifully explained and very helpful to demonstrate both email engines and where to go to apply the appropriate content.

By Tobias Nicolas Tipper on 8/31/2021

Working at a senior level in management, I use email everyday. The course was good, informative and I learned some tips and tricks that I intend on using and sharing with my team. I got the course on offer and feel the price better reflects the value of the course.

By Jigyansu Pandey on 5/6/2021

The course covers important aspects. However, it could have been more illustrative. Hope, you would work to improve.

By Nicole Bai on 1/22/2021

Everyone who writes emails should take this course. It covers many basic but important aspects of email writing such as etiquette, organization and management of tasks. I really enjoyed the course, will start the better writing course from the same instructor right away.

By Gina Meyer on 1/15/2021

I really enjoyed this excellent course! It contains all possible topics related to the better email writing, which I can apply to the daily work or personal email environment. It's Clear, brief and to the points! Thank you for your time and hard work to make this happen!

By Valerie Singler on 9/4/2020

I got some good, immediately usable information from this course. While I had been using several of the suggestions (from other sources) for a while, Mark's "tweaks" will make them more effective for me. I'll be putting his suggestions on Subject Lines and making the body of the email more efficient to work today. I enjoyed the course and got good value from it. I don't hesitate to recommend him as an instructor.
