Ask Marsha: How do I tell people to stop sending me stuff thats not suitable for me?

It has happened to all of us. Those email messages that are just not – for us – in any way. And THEN, they send you more of the same. Argghhh!

I get this question alot, and yes, I do have some advice for you…

Either…

1. address it in person, with friendly dialogue or

2. ignore it.

The worst thing you can do is send an email telling them not to send these things. Why? They will most likely interpret your tone MUCH WORSE than you intended, and instead of neutral feelings, you will have prompted negative feelings towards you.

 

Trust me – an email in this situation just doesn’t cut it.
