Email Messaging
By Carol Farbe | February 3, 2010
Email messaging is important to your growing business. You can receive orders via email. You can receive questions via email that can be answered in your blog post. That’s a great source of blog ideas. But the amount of time you spend on email can directly affect your business. If you are leaving your email open all day, you will know the moment someone emails you. Of course, you will want to go and read it. That can be a time waster. It is better to schedule when you can open your email, go through it and then close it until the next scheduled time. Scheduling to open your email will save you time and help you be more productive throughout the day.
Process your emails quickly. Don’t leave unread emails in your in-box. Read, or scan, and process it – whether that means to respond to it or delete it. By leaving unread emails in your in-box, it becomes hard to sort out the important ones. That delete key will become your friend. If someone needs a response to an email, do it right then and there. Remember you are scheduling to open and read emails. This will be the only time you should respond to them. If you try and put it off, there is a good change you will forget about it. Scan the subject lines of your emails. There may be keys to show you who you are reading that you shouldn’t be. Those may be your time wasters.
