With so many new digital communication platforms, it might seem like email is becoming outdated, but email is still a top communication tool for many professionals. While many social media platforms have become a common place to communicate with others, and apps like WhatsApp and Messenger are popular, email is still the best place to send a professional message. ‍Nearly everyone has an email address, and over 97% of Americans with emails check them at least once daily. That is significantly more often than social media sites. Plus, networking over email means you can connect with people worldwide, breaking down the physical barrier that prevents many networking opportunities.
