💡 Tips for a Good Signature

  • Keep it short - 3-4 lines maximum
  • Include your phone - Makes it easy for people to call
  • Skip the quotes - Inspirational quotes can look unprofessional
  • No need for your email - They already have it!

⚠️ Good to Know

Your signature will appear on:

  • ✅ New emails you write
  • ✅ Replies you send
  • ✅ Forwarded emails

You only set it up once, and it works forever!
