EMAILS Scan Your Spam - You Might Be Missing Important Info & Jobs December 23, 2013 By Dave Courvoisier Voice Actor & TV News Anchor This is gonna sound like someone reminding you to wear your seat belt, brush your teeth, and plug in your charger. Yesterday, I checked my email’s spam filter folder for the first time in — months?…and found two job offers. What have I been missing? Among the supposedly unwanted, automatically diverted emails were:
I use Zoho mail to handle my main CourVO.com email, and like the other programs I just mentioned, it’s highly configurable. I can white-list addresses I want to make sure get through, black-list those I don’t want to be seen, and automatically shuttle regularly repeating mail from predictable sources to certain folders. MANY EMAILS MISSED Now I’m finding out (rough estimate) it’s right 80% of the time. Maybe. Can you afford to miss the other 20% sight-unseen? I can’t. As much as I sometimes hate the drudgery of traipsing through email every day, this is how I’ve set up my business. It’s email-centric. Email is SO important to my marketing, communications, and daily to-do’s that can’t afford for any part of that process to be deficient. So now I have an added another daily duty to make absolutely sure the system works. It’s gonna amount to what?…an extra five minutes every day? Worth it. Worth it for the $1,000+ job I just found. How about you? ------------------ ABOUT DAVE
