Email is a wonderful tool. We don’t need memos anymore. We don’t need traditional mail anymore, at least not as often.
But it can also be your undoing. Do you ever have that co-worker who gets so many emails, and is so behind on reading them, that you don’t even bother sending him or her important updates through email anymore? Well, don’t be one of those co-workers, especially if you’re a leader in your business.
But leaders are the most likely to get bombarded with emails. So what is a person to do when they’re email is out of control.
The first thing that I highly recommend is this: Don’t send emails unless you have to. The less emails you send, the less you’ll receive. It’s a simple principle. So if you want less, don’t send as many.
Emails are great at sending documents and information. They’re even replacing traditional fax in the form of fax through email. Use it as a tool for speed and convenience in sending info for other’s reference. These emails won’t feel a necessity to respond and you’ll get less mail in your inbox.
But don’t use it for pushing your projects. If you want something pushed through, do it in person or at least over the phone. Don’t send an email.
I know these tips will keep your email inbox manageable and people will know they can rely on you.

Every business wants two things: Increase their sales. And keep their expenses low. You probably haven’t thought of how Internet fax can help, but let me continue…
As the world business market gets more and more competitive, every expense saved gives your company one more advantage over the competition.
It’s hard to imagine that office supplies would really be an issue right? It’s just a few pieces of paper. It’s just some post-its. It’s just a few fax machines. Just a few copiers. But ask any CFO if office supply overhead is a big expense and they’ll concede that it is.
It’s no wonder that accounting would love to see traditional fax machines, which are expensive pieces of machinery in and of themselves, along with the toner, paper, repairs, etc, deleted from their P&L sheet if possible. Thanks to modern technology, Internet fax is now taking over this vital aspect of doing business.
Many business places are becoming truly paperless as they’ve learned to incorporate this new technology into their system, avoiding the hardware, paper, and ink associated with faxing.
The cost savings are enormous, and that doesn’t mention the fact that the services are easier to use, saving work time, again a huge company expense. Every CFO sleeps well at night knowing that their employees aren’t standing in long lines anymore for the fax machine.
