No one likes to read more emails than they have to.

They’re actually happy to receive a label maker as a gift.

Are Email Signatures Really Necessary?

Email signatures are nothing new.

The question is: Should you have one?

This depends on whether the person receiving your email needs to see all that crap.

That’s why Mark Zuckerberg’s early business card only said,“I’m CEO, Bitch.”

It ends up looking like a dumb bumper sticker or a poster taped to a dorm room wall.

I’m sure I had one when I began sending emails I mistakenly thought mattered.

If you wouldn’t tattoo it on your body, don’t put it in your email signature.

But otherwise, don’t linger and let your work and words above speak for themselves.
