Want to advance your career, send an email. I’m Brian Banmiller on Business.

For most people, email is used when we need something. In some cases, a full inbox invokes feelings of dread. But what if you could make what is usually a chore work in your favor? According to the job resource site ladders dot com, there are seven emails you should send every week to help boost your bottom line. None of them should take more than a few minutes but they can all help you climb that corporate ladder. For example, an email saying “thank you.” people love to feel appreciated. Instead of worrying about what you need to do in the morning, take a moment to thank someone for what they do for you. All you need is a couple of lines, thanks for your support on that project. Thanks for being my sounding board. Next, send an email to someone you admire. The fastest way to get what you want is to befriend people who already have it.
