We’ve all had at least one email go unanswered.

We go into reading an email thinking, “What do you want from me?”

and ignore emails that take too long to answer that question.

This “ask first, explain later” concept makes sense.

Make it the

very first line in your message.

Then, add whatever short text you gotta support the decision or response.

If you have a lot of emails that go unanswered, it’s worth a try.
