If you want to guarantee that they will see your message, email is still the next best thing to actually phoning them or meeting in person. It’s more difficult and requires a lot more specialist knowledge to intercept an email than it does to get hold of a letter or fax. The cost of email is now cheaper than ever.

The office and the management or the company just chooses how many days? But it’s funny, I’ve worked remotely for 25 years, probably built companies that are scattered all over the world, everything. You work in a company, but you do your work in a team. It’s not just our company.

If you can’t take a few days off, even just one day, in a relaxing environment with no computers, faxes, e-mails, phone calls or any thoughts of work, can help renew you. Keep your options open within the Company. Determine areas within the company that you may contribute to. Set realistic objectives.

  It only gets bigger as the company gets bigger.    Start with something like electronic faxes.    We use a service that allows a person to fax to a phone number, but rather than a physical fax coming out on our end, it lands in our email in-boxes.    We love ours!

This will save your company time and money. You really have to be careful with these, as pertinent company information could leak out into the wrong hands. You would either have to spend time shredding the papers yourself or hire a shredding company to do it for you.

Then you finally do reach a live person and you are so fed up with all of the time wasted, that you start fuming towards the person on the other end of the phone. Would it also be nice for the client to call every so often to commend your company on something that they did right and went above and beyond the call of duty?

Do you find that your staff are not being consistent with their memos, e-mails , the way they answer the phone , etc.? all over the place, there is no consistency and makes everyone look bad, especially the company. Someone needs to take over your responsibilities during that time. Also, if people are writing e-mails, memos, etc.

It is very important if you get phone calls and make decisions on a file to document that by writing a note and putting it on the file by date. You want to file letters, faxes and e-mails received and sent chronologically. Your company may even have a policy on their naming procedures. Your file should be neat.

There are some companies that, unfortunately, don’t allow for purchases such as stationary , fax machines , toner , etc. Do you feel that you could find better buys, not just by going to the different stores such as Staples or Grand & Toy , but online as well? Since I work for a large corporation, this is my case as well.

You would think that higher paying jobs would be the first ones to go, since companies would be losing more money by keeping the executives on board. It’s interesting to see that even with these types of jobs, people can be affected quite severely. You can find Administrative jobs in your area here. What are your thoughts on this issue?

I said, "If I called you at work in the middle of the day, would you be able to come to the phone and chat?" Any personal calls they have to make to the bank, insurance company or any personal matters, he always asks his wife to do it because he says, "You sit at your desk all day and have a phone readily available, so it is easier for you".

It would be interesting to see how many companies would allow for this type of dress code, since quite a lot of places have client visits on a regular basis. I work in a back office environment, where 99% of our client interaction is via the phone, e-mail or outside of the office, so I can wear jeans and a t-shirt.

Intel is the first company to implement this day for its employees. They can use any other means of communication, even picking up the phone and talking to each other. There have been instances of where employees that sit a few cubicles away from each other prefer to e-mail rather than walk over or call the other on the phone.

Having VAs I can simply fax order forms to. I like having a long battery life and having the full functionality of the Windows Platform on my phone. I have Dropbox on my phone as well so I can easily send documents to my consultants while on the road. .  I used to carry 12 paperbacks on ever trip. Another life saver?

Using e-mail is a great tool, especially if you are trying to cut down on company costs via international phone calls and postage fees. Another point I would like to stress is to archive your e-mails for a certain period of time that either you or your company feels would be appropriate. At least you will have proof of it.

This can boost company credibility and advertise itself in a global way. Internal blogging refers to employees writing blogs that are stored on an intranet or company server. Only the employees within that company can view the information that they write. Try to keep to a niche of a topic that you are very well versed in.

That makes sense, but can this system be applied to other information, like monthly bills, tax returns, staff, legal issues, normal company information? B eing able to retrieve the data is more important than an organized alphabetized file drawer. I remember going to a walk-in clinic (doctors office) for an ailment at the time.

So why do companies continue to do it? Telemarketing is my number one annoyance in advertising and as soon as I answer the phone and get that few seconds of dead air, that is my queue to hang up. I dont know about you, but when I get these "flyer" type faxes, they go immediately in the recycle bin. In anyone home ?
