This particular article was written by CindyKraft (@CFOCoach), check out her blog here. Cindy did an excellent job of explaining what needs to be in an email signature. Seeing the post gave me an idea for writing this post. See, since I’m a lazy guy I have no compunction whatsoever at ripping off great post ideas and running with them.

If you don’t know how to do this or you don’t have time, I can put them together for you. Rates are negotiable (depending upon the size of your staff/number of sigs you need) Get in touch with me through my business blog at http://WebsitesThatDriveSales.com/blog/
