Be clear on what you need
- One ask per email whenever possible (or bullet multiple asks clearly).
- Use a subject line that matches the request (and includes a key identifier).
Good subject examples
Invoice Help — Client: John Smith — Property: The Oaks
Onboarding Access — Can’t log into Relive app — Agent: Jane Doe
Commission Question — Invoice #12345 — Move-in: Jan 5
Include the minimum info Ops needs (so Ops doesn’t have to chase you)
Always add:
- Your full name + market
- Client full name
- Property name
- What you already did + where you got stuck
- Any relevant IDs (invoice #, app #, ticket #)
- Deadline/urgency (with date)
Attach proof/screenshots the first time
- Screenshot the exact error message (not just “it doesn’t work”).
- If it’s a form/upload issue: attach the doc and a screenshot of the submission page.
- If it’s commission/invoice: include the invoice PDF + proof of move-in (if required).
Use the right channel (email vs chat vs portal)
- If it’s a standard request (invoice review, update, clarification) email: link
- If there’s a dedicated form/process, please use that first and then email only if it fails.
(If your org has specific rules here, turn them into a simple “If X → use Y” chart.)
Confirm it’s not answered already
Before emailing, quickly check:
- Onboarding docs: Onboarding
- Pinned messages / Recent threads (search your inbox/chat)
This avoids duplicate requests and speeds things up.
Keep it scannable
- 3–6 bullet points max for context
- Use bold for the key data (client, property, invoice #, deadline)
- Don’t bury the ask in a long story
Set expectations + be responsive
- If Ops asks a follow-up, reply with the missing info in the same thread ASAP.
- Don’t start a new email chain for the same issue.
