Article on effective communication and e-mail as visual voice mail

Within many organizations, E-mail quickly became an effective communication tool as people adopted the technology and learned that it could replace other means of communication.

Compared to voice mail, E-mail messages can be listed, sorted and even previewed. The recipient can get an idea of the topic and importance of each message without having to read each one.

Many people are visual learners. They understand better by seeing things on paper than by trying to put together a mental picture as they listen to your message. Furthermore, using voice mail, the sender often makes up the message as they go along. Using E- mail, it is easier to compose your thoughts and make sure you cover what is necessary. E- mail allows the recipient to quickly identify the important points in a well- composed message.

By including your E-mail address on your business card you allow people to communicate with you using the medium of their choice.
