Why Should You Attend

For many professionals, emailing with clients and colleagues takes longer than any other task during the workweek. Developing efficient email strategies leads to greater productivity because it causes a person’s outbound messages to be easier to understand, and in turn, the responses the person receives are more direct. As a result of those two outcomes, fewer messages are sent back and forth to accomplish a task. In addition, effective email habits allow people to become more organized, particularly when they need to find and review an email from the past.

Who Will Benefit?
