How to Use DISC to Write Emails People Actually Want to Read

If you’re a professional, manager, or team member in Seguin or traveling to nearby areas like New Braunfels, Cibolo, Schertz, San Marcos, or Converse, you know that email is a huge part of your daily routine. But have you ever wondered why some emails get quick, thoughtful replies, while others sit unread in an inbox? The DISC model can help you write emails that truly connect-no matter who’s reading them.

Why DISC Makes a Difference in Email

DISC is a personality assessment tool that helps you understand four main communication styles. People respond to messages based on their natural preferences. When you tailor your emails using DISC, you’ll see better responses, fewer misunderstandings, and more productive conversations-at work, with your teams, or even when checking in with clients and partners.

  • D (Dominance): Prefers direct, brief, and action-focused messages.
  • I (Influence): Likes friendly, upbeat, and people-focused communication.
  • S (Steadiness): Values clear, reassuring, and team-oriented notes.
  • C (Conscientiousness): Wants details, logic, and well-organized information.

Tip: Start by thinking about who you’re emailing. What do they care about most? Use your knowledge of DISC to shape your message and you’ll see more folks in Seguin and beyond actually reading-and replying to-your emails.

Writing Emails for Every DISC Style

Here’s how you can use the DISC model to craft emails that are more likely to get the attention of different personality types in your workplace or professional network:

  • For D-Style Readers:
    • Get to the point fast-skip the small talk.
    • Focus on results, deadlines, and actions.
    • Use bullet points or bold text for important items.
    • Try this: Start your email with the main ask or decision needed.
  • For I-Style Readers:
    • Open with a warm greeting or a quick compliment.
    • Keep your tone upbeat and positive.
    • Share stories, updates, or team wins.
    • Try this: Add a fun question or ask for input to start a conversation.
  • For S-Style Readers:
    • Build in reassurance and explain the “why” behind your message.
    • Lay out steps or changes with clear, steady language.
    • Show appreciation for their reliability and support.
    • Try this: Close with a thank you or a reminder that you’re there to help.
  • For C-Style Readers:
    • Stick to facts and logic-avoid too much fluff.
    • Organize your email with headings and lists.
    • Provide any data or documentation up front.
    • Try this: Offer links to resources or attach supporting files when needed.

Takeaway: When you meet people where they are-whether in Seguin or while visiting New Braunfels or Schertz-you’ll see more of your messages opened, read, and acted on.

  • Think about your recipient’s preferences before writing.
  • Try a new subject line or opening based on DISC.
  • Ask for feedback-see which emails get the best responses.
