+1 (555) 123-4567

좋은 예시:

1. "Q4 Sales Report - Review Required by Friday"

2. "Meeting Request: Project Alpha Kickoff - 3/15"

3. "Urgent: System Maintenance Scheduled for Tonight"

4. "New Client Onboarding Process - Training Tomorrow"

5. "Feedback Needed: Marketing Campaign Draft"

분석:

이 예시들은 모두 간결하면서도 필요한 정보를 명확히 전달하고 있습니다. 각각의 주제줄은 이메일의 목적, 필요한 액션, 그리고 시간적 요소를 포함하고 있어 수신자가 빠르게 이메일의 중요성을 파악할 수 있습니다.

나쁜 예시:

1. "Important!"

2. "Please Read This"

3. "FYI"

4. "Update"

5. "Quick Question"

분석:

이 예시들은 너무 모호하고 구체적인 정보를 제공하지 않습니다. 수신자는 이메일의 내용이나 중요성을 파악할 수 없어, 열어볼 가능성이 낮아집니다.

예시:

• 색상이나 폰트를 과도하게 사용하지 마세요.

제목: Great to Meet You at the Tech Innovation Summit

Dear Ms. Brown,

I hope this email finds you well. It was a pleasure meeting you at the Tech Innovation Summit last week. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation about the future of AI in customer service.

Your insights on implementing chatbots while maintaining a human touch in customer interactions were particularly intriguing. As someone who's also passionate about balancing technology with personal connection, I found your approach both innovative and practical.

I'd love to continue our discussion and explore potential collaboration opportunities. If you're open to it, perhaps we could schedule a brief call next week? I'd be interested in learning more about your company's AI initiatives and sharing some of our recent case studies that might be relevant to your work.

Additionally, I thought you might find this recent article on AI ethics in customer service interesting: [Insert Link]. It touches on some of the points we discussed at the summit.

Thank you again for the engaging conversation. I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you soon.
