Fixing your complicated and messy email
We all use email, we all need email and want to have our email setup correctly. Right? Well, after working with thousands of clients, email is the one thing that never seems to be set up correctly with pretty much all of them!
Transcript
so hello it's Tuesday and today's topic
is about email so in this video I'm
going to go through my thoughts about
email now email is a huge thing for
everybody whether you're a home user or
a professional or or in a business email
is a major part in your workflow
we all have email we all use email we
use it for entertainment we use it for
client communication we use it for
general communication we use it for
personal communication as well as
business communication we use it for you
know new clients and so on so forth we
use it for absolutely everything the
problem lies is that no one's really
using it correctly how its set up and so
on and I'm going to go through what I
mean whenever I work with a client
a new client or an old client the first
thing I do is check their email because
the email is an indication to me of how
good the rest of the workflow and their
system is if I see an email app system
whatever system they're using but if
they see their email mailboxes and they
have a ton of mailboxes or there's a
bunch of spam loads of unread no I mean
just to complete and utter mess I know
that the rest of the system is a
complete mess it's just talking from
experience I've done this for such a
long time and I've seen email mailboxes
I've seen computers and Macs and their
workflows and usually they're an if it's
called if it's a complete mess
usually their email is a complete mess
so I work backwards look at their email
oh my god it's a mess the rest is a
complete mess so then we work and try to
fix everything starting with their email
now the thing is as I said everyone uses
email everyone needs email emails the
bare
form of communication with anybody
inside or outside of your organization
inside your organization depending on
what you're doing emails are not the
best thing but there are certain reasons
why you would need to use it anyway
so email is incredibly important so you
need to get it right and you need to
make sure your email is being delivered
making sure that your email is being
delivered out and in so coming in and
not going into your spam box or even
going out and sending an email to
somebody and then they're saying I don't
receive the email and then suddenly
realize that their service or their
email app has put it in the spam box
that they haven't seen it so there's
little things like that how many times
have you tried to send an email out with
your computer or even with your phone
when you're not at home and then it's
not sending out and then what you do
sneakily a lot of people do this and I
used to do this a long time ago is set
up a gmail account just so you could
send out an email how many of you guys
has done that and I'm sure you have at
some point if someone set it up for you
my emails not going out all I've got to
set up something else so email is
insanely important and we need to make
sure that it's set up correctly and done
and set so you don't have to play with
it now the reason why I'm coming up with
this video today is because earlier
today I was actually speaking to a good
friend of mine it was a client and our
really good friend of mine and he's
having issues with the emails now he
keeps going he's a tinkerer like me i
tinker with my technology and so does he
there he I explained to him the G suite
and everything and make sure your emails
in G sweet because it just works so he
set it up but he didn't finish setting
up he was like halfway and he's getting
constant problems don't like dude just
finished the system and think you know
if it doesn't work for you after you
finish the system then you can always go
back you can always go back but don't go
home
way and goal I've done a half of it and
then not do the rest there's the whole
arc to this email stuff you need to make
sure you complete the arc and if you
don't complete the arc
you're still a mess so making sure your
email is being delivered both ways
making sure that your mailboxes are
organized making sure you've set up
filters in your email in fact later on
this week I'm gonna make a video about
filters so keep an eye on that so making
sure that your filters are CERP in your
email no matter what system you're using
so when an email comes in you know what
it is by it putting it to a into a
filter and then going into a folder or a
label or a tag very important so getting
it set up is something that everyone
should be doing it's it is very easy to
do the hardest part is to switch your
mind saying okay let me do this you get
this fixed and get it fixed once and for
all
that's the only difficult part the hard
part is giving it to someone to actually
do it or doing it yourself so you need
to make sure that your email is set up
correctly anyway that's the video today
