If you are writing a letter. Get to the point.

If you are calling on the phone, deliver your message, ask your questions, respond when appropriate, and get off the phone.

I am reminded of the Professional Sales Person’s Mantra: Be bright; Be brief; Be gone.

You might want to adopt these six words as your own.

Be careful however. They do not infer: Be terse; Be impolite; Be rude.

It only takes a few more seconds to wrap up a conversation in a respectful professional fashion.

The secret is to know why you are contacting your targeted audience in the first place while respecting their time. I am sure you can figure the rest out.
