Discussion: Persuasion and professional Email Communication

Engaging in professional email communications is something most of us do. But are we good at it? Are we perceived as professional? Additionally, Instant Messaging, Direct Messaging, and texting are becoming entwined in business communications. Whether the applications are used for marketing, reminders, appointments, or quick contact, they are useful. However, sometimes, we don't always read what is typed or auto-corrected, resulting in strange or unintended messages.
