IMPORTANCE OF 
NETIQUETTE
Oral or in-person communication has the benefit of body 
language, tone of voice and facial expressions that add to the 
communication between sender  and recipient. Written 
communication is devoid of this luxury, often making the 
writer’s intent unclear.

A GOOD LISTENER
Not only is it important to listen for information being exchanged 
between yourself and a client or colleague, but it is also 
important to listen for voice inflection or hesitations. Being able 
to listen and identify these clues is key in developing a clearer 
bridge of communication.

SPEAK WITHOUT 
CONFLICT
It is a language that can be perceived as confrontational in 
nature. While the light mod conversation is a great way to get to 
know someone, it is not something that should be exhibited in a 
virtual office setting.

PAY ATTENTION
Be sure to give your undivided attention to all parties during 
conversations and meetings. This ensures better use of time and 
makes it less likely that you will miss key details presented. The 
opposite parties also feel valued and respected for their 
viewpoints and suggestions.
