Surveys show that people in corporations receive an average of 175 messages per day. Topping the list is e-mail, surpassing voice mail, faxes and telephone messages as the most frequent type of message received.
While email is the biggest communication tool for business use, its remote nature – which eliminates tone of voice and body language – presents a huge potential for misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Many people find themselves dealing with dozens of e-mails everyday whose impact has been lost in cyberspace and, as a result, frequently miss the mark.
E-mail In An Instant helps you to gain mastery over your electronic mail box and be more effective at getting your messages across with style and impact as well as managing and responding to the messages you receive.
