Taming the E-mail Beast: Key Strategies for Managing E-mail Overload

NOTE: I can present any of my programs virtually. My office setting is professional, and I have high-quality equipment to broadcast my virtual presentation. I deliver several webinar presentations monthly.

Every day, busy professionals are getting buried under a continuing stream of both useful and useless e-mail. Without a system for getting "control of the beast", professionals spend much of their work (and personal) time spinning wheels and feeling highly unsatisfied. If...

Time Management in "The Cloud" Using Google & Other Online Apps

For many years, Microsoft Outlook, LotusNotes, and other "server-based" productivity applications have been the industry leaders. But in the last 2-3 years, popular programs and services based in "the cloud" have been emulating the capabilities of these productivity applications, now to the point where a professional could seriously consider "leaping to the cloud". The benefits of leaping to the cloud: 1) much lower costs; 2) capability to work on any tech platform (PC, Mac, IPad, IPod,...

Thank you for coming! Everyone was raving about your session and more than one person was heard to have said that you've changed their entire life. One of our staff members already said her inbox has gone from 300+ to three since she's worked it over using your method. And just today, I made my first "drag to the calendar" move -- it was awesome. Thank you! Thank you!

Great seminar at the Alabama Council of Association Executives last week! I started applying your principles right after the seminar. No e-mails sitting in my inbox from Friday until today. Also, I'm down from 927 e-mails in my Inbox on Friday to 344 today. Thanks for all of the great tips! EOM/NRN (I'm using these too!)

I attended your seminar at the MEDC Conference in October. I was one of the people with 2,700 emails in my inbox and I am proud to say today I have two emails. I setup folders and it took me several weeks when I had spare time but I finished it yesterday. I am not a very organized person and your program hit home and was very useful. Thanks!!

Thank you very much for getting Randall Dean for our Marketing and Front Office Conference keynote speaker a couple weeks ago. Our members are still talking about his email tips for time management. Randall has a great presentation style and kept our audience interested and entertained. I know I personally took back several tips that have saved me time and helped me become better organized. I took my email inbox from 1200 messages down to approximately 9 and know where to look for things right away now. That has helped me immensely. Here's what a few of our members said about Randall after the conference: • He had great tips! • Trying to implement that today. • EXCELLENT SPEAKER • Love him, wish he would have had more time, he had great time saving ideas and I would have loved to have heard more!! • Randall Dean was wonderful and MANY take-aways from this session. Highly recommended!!! • He was GREAT! • I loved his presentation - I would have preferred him to be the last speaker as he would have kept us more awake and energized at the end of the day! Thank you again for bringing Randall Dean to our members. As noted above our members are interested in hearing more from Randall so I will be in touch with you again soon to bring him back.

Randy Dean changed my life! His email tips and tricks felt like they were directed just to me and all of my bad habits. I nodded at every example he gave, and I elbowed my colleagues with every trick and tip. I honestly freed up 2-3 hours per day, in addition to (hopefully) improving my reputation for timely responses to email requests. This presentation should be mandatory for all Outlook users.

Dear Randy, It took me the whole weekend. And some gut wrenching decisions…, but my inbox is now at ZERO! To give you some perspective, I had over 5000 UNREAD e-mails in my inbox before your seminar, and countless -- I mean COUNTLESS, read ones. This week I have been way more productive, and the stress of not having the full e-mail box has been like clearing your head after a really bad cold. Maybe a bad analogy, but it's the truth. Love that three step rule. LOVE IT. Just sending you this testimonial for the sake of recognition. Thanks.
