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 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.

Cutting Edge Mercedes Dealer in Gilbert, AZ embraces cloud

www.mbgilbert.com facility photo This past month has been exciting for the community in Gilbert, AZ after the long awaited opening of Mercedes Benz of Gilbert when they unveiled their amazing facility. Throughout the period of time that the dealership has been constructed we have been visiting, involved and overjoyed by what the owners Charlie and Audrey Alfano have accomplished. To our delight we have been witness on their use of Cloud Technology like Office365.   When you arrive at the dealership you'll be greeted by an amazing reception, branded water bottles and Free WiFi.  Their sales professionals have an open demeanor and are listeners unlike some of the experiences we've had in visiting similar facilities in the area. The lot is FULL of pre-owned cars and the NEW cars they have on display include AMG super-cars as well as an experience center that reminds me of the XBox displays at Microsoft Stores.  With this experience center you can listen to ...

Net Worth - the two words

One of the most popular combinations of words used by an Entrepreneur are "Net Worth" and it's become my life goal to PERFECT the combination of these two powerful words.  This is NOT about money but about NET WORTH!  My thoughts... BUSINESS: In Business, your net worth is all about the dollar amount you have in disposable income after all things are said and done.  It's about the footprint you leave on everybody else as you climb to the American Dream of working bell to bell and counting your successes and failures in the experience called a career which in turn becomes a number. When you arrive at your first, second or final goal do you look back and decide for yourself what the Net Worth of all things done has cost you and everyone you touched? FAMILY: In Family, your net worth can be so many different things.  Your relationship with your mate or your calculation of how well you DIDN'T mess up your kids and could also be measured by the amount of "co...
