Small Business Email Challenges

by Manny 16. November 2008 07:29

Let’s face it there are not many days that go by that we don’t send or receive an email, in fact it is estimated that there is 35 billion emails generated every business day (data from IDC).

It’s easy to understand why, you can send an email to the other side of the world and within seconds it's there. Email is ubiquitous it can be sent from any device to any device and these days anywhere and anytime. We receive emails from prospective customers, email's from our web site, emails from suppliers, email's to new and existing customers and the list goes on and on.

So with all these emails how is small business managing?

Having spoken to numerous small businesses the answers are usually the same:

Too Many, Can’t Manage, Can’t Find and Cant’ Cope!

In detail the problems are:

1.       Email is stored in individual mail accounts; it is difficult to access everybody’s.

2.       Constantly searching inbox and sent items, it’s difficult to find a specific one.

3.       Too many to respond to. Email is becoming more and more formal.

4.       It's difficult for multiple staff to serve the same customer.

The above problems have led to numerous business bandaid solutions such as word documents and excel spreadsheets that we store as email templates and constantly edit, copy and paste. Group email folders to store team emails, public folders even customer folders. In fact some businesses spend more time managing emails as appose to reading and replying.

If we also compound Faxes, SMS, Letters and Voice Mail it becomes a messaging nightmare. So how can small business manage? Because of these and many other reasons 3G Business CRM was founded. 3G Business CRM - “big business technology for small business budgets!”

Great article, I really know what you mean we have these issues plus more within our company. Some of the staff use outlook express others use outlook 2003 and a couple use outlook 2007. The only way we manage to share emails is by constantly forwarding everything to everybody. This creates a lot of wasted time as everybody reads everything. There has to be a better way. We explored ms exchange it seems very sophisticated but still has similar problems. I would love to know how 3G Business solves this issue as we are interested in a cost effective solution. Tom
