Should I be using one? I got a promotion at work and have to email outside the company frequently. What should be on it? Name, office phone number and position is about all I’m thinking I need. Do I need to put my email address in?

 

I trust the ballers here to steer me in the wrong direction at some point.

You might check with your marketing department, my company has email signature policies to standardize amongst all employees.

Yep mine as well but we still get dumbasses that put all sorts of stupid shit on their signature. So fucking annoying

One of our employees decided to sign everything

 

Positively,

 

Her Name

Phone number

Title

 

Well our bosses decide they want to clean stuff up and they choose her to create a template for signatures company wide. Now all of them come pre-filled "positively"...weak ass shit.

I'd use all that positivity to search for new employment.

Clever quote , or some classic quote is essential , along with a long privacy statement, a few pictures of your kids...
 
 
Never understood putting your email address in a signature, it’s already in your email dick.
It does actually come in handy when the email is forwarded, replied to, forwarded again, replied to again, etc. and eventually a new person is added after the various email programs have removed the actual email address because you are in their contacts list.

I still don't do it but I've gotten several people's email addresses like that because they did it.

Be sure to include some verbiage from your legal dept. about the restricted use of any email communications.  It should be at least 3 paragraphs long to be legally binding.

Someday when i have the power to enact any law I want, I’m going to make it illegal to add long disclaimers at the bottom of emails or web pages.  No one reads them so drop the stance there is some agreement I made or understanding just because words are at the end.

Check to see if your company has a template that it will require you to use.  If no template or requirement...

IMO, the more fancy fonts, logos, links (LinkedIn, really?), sayings, quotes, etc., the more that person is trying to seem important.  Players don’t need that crap.  

Use plain text only (easiest for multiple email clients).  Full name that you use for work and any earned letters (e.g. PMP, PhD, etc.).  Title or other identifier.  Company Name.  Office telephone number (and mobile if applicable).  I agree with Huck - add email address.  That’s all you need.  

That said, you may tailor it to your specific needs.  I’ve seen account managers add a link to web-based scheduling tool for ease in scheduling meetings with customers.  Some industries still use faxes, so add that number.  Keep it simple.

My favorite is the .jpg company logos that show up as attachments so that when you're looking for a document that someone sent you, every email from them has an "attachment."

Or worse, you open it on your phone, which automatically cahces it.

Early in my career I worked for a large contractor that ended all written communication with:

 

Very Truly Yours

Name/number etc

 

Always thought that was weird.

 

 

 

 

Very Truly Yours,

BottleRocket

 

Several years ago I picked "Respectfully" as my closing prior to signature for professional emails that are formal.  I don't see anyone else using it and I think it sounds good.  I use "Sincerely" as an alternate depending on the message.  I leave the thank you's in body of the message.  

 

Dear Bitch,

Please suck my dick.  Thank you!

Respectfully,
