| Organizing Your Messaging | |||||||||||
You should always quote the contents of the message you are replying to, the more detailed the conversation thread the easier it is to use in making decisions. For the touring musician or agent, a web based email client is superior to a desktop application. If you receive your email in one centralized location, you will always be able to access important information when it is needed. There is nothing worse than needing to get access to an old email that’s sitting on your desktop 5 states away. It’s also a good idea to convert all of your incoming faxes to email messages. This is just another attempt to centralize all of your vital information, so it's easy to find when you need it in the future. Check out www.faxwave.com, they will give you a free Fax-To-Email phone number that sends all of your faxes to any email address that you want. The ability to be able to receive a fax anywhere you can get your email often comes in handy if you are doing a lot of traveling. | |||||||||||
| Feature Highlight: Onlinegigs POP Mail Client | |||||||||||
Onlinegigs Mail is an incredibly robust POP email client that rivals Outlook, Eudora and Hotmail. You can receive messages from up to 3 different POP mail accounts simultaneously and can access your messages from any internet connection. The best way to manage your contacts and messages is to add each person you communicate with to your Onlinegigs account. By right-clicking on the message you can easily add the contact to the directory. You should then create a new Mailbox called File Cabinet. From now on move all important emails into your File Cabinet. Then to see a chronological history of your messages you now simply look up the contact and click on History. Every message with an email address equal to the contact’s email will be filtered out for your review. This eliminates the need to create new folders and scroll thru hundreds of contacts just to store a message away. But Onlinegigs Mail has many more powerful features such as a full HTML editor, Filter Commands and Attachments. Click for more details about Onlinegigs Mail. | |||||||||||

As
your business relationships develop, email tends to become the
dominant form of communication. It is important to get into certain
habits in order to keep a handle on the incredible amount of
messages you send and receive every day. Try to keep an uncluttered
Inbox, the deeper the mailbox; the more likely something important
is going to be left unaddressed. Every person you communicate
with should be a record in your Contact Manager or address book.
Make sure this information is backed up! Your contacts should
now be your most valued possession.
