Last week I wrote a number of tips for controlling your email inbox. Email fax is wonderful but if your inbox is out of control, the advantages of the technology will mean little.
Many of us live a good portion of our lives monitoring our email, responding to our email, and composing emails. It’s become the central mode of communication in the business world. It’s also become the best method for social correspondence. I seriously have not sent a letter in the mail to a friend in years.
But today I want to speak to the busy business person trying to get some work done, while managing his or her email. People expect to hear back from you when they send an email to you within 24 hours. That gives you some time but not a lot of time. So it’s important to manage your time well so you can meet that expectation.
It’s extremely impressive to your co-workers, clients, guests, and customers when you reply to your email promptly. Don’t you hate it when you really need to get a hold of someone to resolve an issue and they don’t respond promptly, or sometimes never at all. So you then have to call them or go visit their desk and nag them about this small but important issue. Don’t be one of those kinds of employees that is annoying your co-workers.
In my next post I’ll be discussing some time management techniques that will help you to accomplish this standard.
