Many of us spend upwards from a third to half our day  - or more - managing e-mail.  So why not do that in the most effective way possible with the least amount of risk.  More importantly, we should make sure that we are constantly following our priorities.  Anyone can work an eight-hour day, but only a fraction of today's information workers keep a close eye on their priorities.

1/3 of your day

Outlook is probably the one program that you have open all day long.  If you send 20 mails per day, you probably spend at least 2 hours a day working with e-mail in some way. If it's one third of your employee's day, it's one third of their cost.

1. Would you consider the way that your employees  currently process mails as optimal?
2. Are you aware that e-mail processing costs an average company 20-40% or more of their human resources? 
3. Does it happen, now and then, that your employees miss an important mail or a deadline due to poor mail management? (Virtually impossible with AST)
4. Shouldn’t your employees have the tools to be able to assign a specific date for when they respond to mails?
5. Wouldn’t you like to make sure that employees respond to your mails when they are supposed to?
6. Does it happen, now and then, that someone reminds one of your employees of a mail that they have forgotten or haven’t had time in which to respond?
7. Is everyone in the organization following a "best practice" method to insure that they feel on top and in control of their mail?
8. How often do your employees have an empty inbox?  (Atrendia clients, by optimizing the default settings of Outlook, can go home every day with an empty inbox.)
9. Wouldn’t they appreciate feeling completely in charge of their inbox?
10. If Atrendia could show you a proven method of saving 30-60% of the time you spend processing mail – in 3 hours – would you try it?

2/3 of your communication

Probably a full two thirds of your internal and external decisions are communicated via e-mail.  All the more reason why you should not accept anything less than the best tools and techniques for managing your employee's inboxes.  Here is a shortlist of what our clients deem significantly important in the area of e-mail handling.

We want to be able to:

• Work according to our priorities on a minute to minute basis
• Quickly and easily prioritize incoming mail
• Focus on what we can do today - not on what we can't do tomorrow
• Find any mail without having to rely on search engines
• Batch our work instead of wasting time multi-tasking
• Plan our mails to be actioned on specific days
• Take notes on mails so that we don't have to re-read and re-analyze the same mails over and over again
• Add personal notes to our inbox besides mails from others
• View a dashboard that clearly shows what we are waiting for regarding each and every mail

Atrendia delivers it all - and much more

3/3 possible

There is no reason why your employees shouldn't have the ability to be in command of their inbox when it is so simple to upgrade them to a much easier work method.  Atrendia's AST Lean E-mail Management  is the leading method of managing e-mail, and your employees deserve nothing less.
