RELATERS
Indirect and Open
*Relaters like emails that are updates on people or that keep in
touch and let them know you're thinking of them.
*Relaters like thank you emails for almost anything: inviting them
to an office party, bringing lunch back for them or including them
on a company function. They may even send a thank you email to you
to acknowledge your thank you email. |
SOCIALIZERS
Direct and Open
*Feel free to use exclamation points, underlining and bold
highlighting,
unusual fonts, several colors and graphics.
*In your text, emphasize emotion-laden, picturesque adjectives and
adverbs.
*Write in the same stimulating, energetic way that Socializers
speak.
*When possible, include personal anecdotes or references to shared
experiences. Socializers like postscripts and even a "P.P.S.: ____"
|

THINKERS
Indirect and Guarded
*Thinkers seek to clarify positions and address processes.
Consequently,
emails can be rather long and filled with information and questions,
while at the same time being somewhat indirect and intentionally
obtuse.
*A second type of email you can send to a Thinker is a short
communiqué with an accompanying host of enclosures, citations or
references.
*The purpose of your emails to Thinkers is for them to to process
information in ways that maintain or enhance their position.

DIRECTORS
Direct and Guarded
*Be brief and to the point.
*Highlight your conversations or materials, but do not get into too
much detail unless necessary.
*Include specifics for your follow-through or raise questions you
need answers to... now!
*Emails should take on abbreviated forms and with little or no
strong feelings and/or tone expressed. |
