What area of your communication at work you'd like to improve?

Hi! Around 6 months ago we started a blog that aims to help professionals across various teams and roles communicate better at work. The focus has been on email (both external and internal) but we cover also messaging think Slack and LinkedIn dms. For example, we've already covered many topics highly-relevant to founders. Communications (especially through our keyboards) is increasingly important part of our work no matter we like it or not, so I'd like to think that there's lot's of ground to cover here. Any ideas on topics to cover or specific blog post you'd like to read? Any input is greatly appreciated!

What content tools are you using that actually save your time/money to promote your product?

I am a tools fanatic and check Product Hunt every single day. I'm a HUGE fan of anything that equals productivity and efficiency. What have you tried, used and now can't live without to create content (e.g. audio, video, text, etc...)?

Worst ways to end professional emails?

Lately I've spent a lot of time studying the best practices, etiquette and manners related to effective email communication in order to figure out how to help people write better emails with Flowrite. One of the topics that seems to divide opinions is sign-offs. Some email sign-offs are obviously not very professional, while others carry more nuanced risk of email faux pas. Some people take them very seriously while it seems that others don't pay attention to them at all. These are the most common sign-offs or practices that seems to get cited as unprofessional or risky while doing business: Have a blessed day Love, kisses or similar Thanks in advance No sign-off at all Take care Sent from my iPhone Later Rgrds, thx or similar Br Looking forward to hearing from you Do you recall some other sign-offs or practices that have made you feel negatively about the sender? Would love to update my list of closings we should steer clear of.
