HUGE increase in gmail addresses - BAD for your business


First of all, YES, I have a gmail address.  I enjoy it!  It's used almost every time I buy something online, subscribe to a newsletter and/or I join a list.  What does that tell you?  It means it's my junk mail email address.  And it works so well to deliver my junk to me that I look at it about 24 times a year.  Yep, it's on my Outlook calendar to look at twice a month.  Usually I get to it and I did this morning.  It takes me about 15 minutes each time to scan through all the garbage and only interact with what I need.  For this, I LOVE my gmail.

 Now, ask me where I spend my every day all day?  It's not in my gmail.  That said, I've seen and have the metrics to show that there has been a HUGE number of companies or people using gmail as their primary work email address and it's KILLING their ability to get to my inbox.  I'm nobody special, just a guy who lives in his inbox buying and selling goods for the better of our company. If you are trying to get INTO my inbox, you're not getting there.  It's not working.  

 This is why I'm writing you this blog to read.  Let's see if you do!

 I have received, in the last two weeks, in my gmail and my junk mail folder over 1,910 emails from persons with gmail.com addresses as their sender address and EVERY single one of those I have NOT looked at until my routine today.  Everything from singles"blahblah"@gmail.com to furniture"blahblah"@gmail.com and even marketingpro"blahblah"@gmail.com.

 I did look at emails from "blahblah"@marketingpr...com and "blahblah"@card....com however and either filed them away, swiped them to archive or replied to them.  In fact in my usage charts I send and receive OVER 3 times the number of emails every day than the second and third person in my company, COMBINED.  The number would blow your mind.

 I have rules in my inbox that immediately throw away any email from aol.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com and other freemail programs because they don't belong in my circle of professionals with respect to my work email.

 Are you one of the people that are getting ignored in my inbox?  We'll help you, just pick a domain name and we'll get you your very own accurately addressed to the inbox/email to me and other folks like me.  Reach out to our staff at http://www.ryantechinc.com

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple.  It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry.  This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech.

Questions from attendees at DD14 on Cloud

Thank you for those who attended the 8:30 session this morning which I know could be tough.  Congratulations to our first 10 attendees that walked away with Windows 8 and Office 2013 for FREE!  For those that did not attend, here are my notes and answers to questions asked after the presentation.  The presentation was recorded and will be available online by Digital Dealer as they have prepared. Q.  Why is Windows XP not compliant in April, 2014?      A. The support for operating system updates and security patches will no longer be supported by Microsoft after April, 2014.  Due to the lack of updates, the operating system will no longer by PCIC or GLB compliant.  What's more is that users will likely be targeted for attacks from cyber criminals just as has happened in the past with retired operating systems. Q. We are thinking about utilizing thin clients instead of PCs in our store.  Do you have any recommendations for us?      A. Since most thin client systems use either W

Are You Running Last Decade’s Software?

R unning a dealership is a complex business and requires computers to manage operations. Sure, there’s a DMS to handle inventory, accounting and OEM requirements, but we’re talking about the day-to-day business that requires multiple devices and PCs, with licensed operating systems and office software. Unfortunately, most dealerships aren’t keeping their PCs current, licensed and legal. Recently, thousands of dealerships were surveyed and scanned regarding their use of basic PC office software and technology. In a survey done by Microsoft Cloud Services, information was collected on how many PCs/laptops were at a dealership and what operating system and software was installed. In addition, dealers were surveyed on the number of unique e-mail addresses and how those addresses are being utilized. The results aren’t pretty. This will give you the opportunity to see where your dealership fits in. Dealerships, on average, have 80 PCs with 100 e-mail addresses, along with a varie
