Smartphones are becoming an ever essential tool in our working lives, as they offer a fast and simple way to stay in touch with staff, clients or key business contacts, and allow us to access and share information online to improve operations. More business owners are seeing these benefits by connecting their own and their and staff’s mobiles to their work email accounts, in order to better manage company activities and build stronger relations:
The number of people working remotely or outside of the main office location is continuing to rise, meaning that keeping in touch is even more important. Email provides a critical form of communication and for those working out of the office or on the go, being able to send and receive emails through a mobile is extremely useful. Setting up your work email capability for your staff on their mobile or tablet devices, will help them perform their roles more effectively and efficiently and in turn, help your business provide improved levels of service against the competition.
If you receive an email which needs urgent attention outside of working hours, you may not be logged onto your email account at home to check incoming emails. Through your mobile device however, you can choose to receive push notifications, which will alert you of any new messages. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses dealing with offices or clients from different time zones or those active at weekends or evenings.
Not only will mobile devices automatically sync all emails if you have an internet connection, your business calendar and any tasks linked to your email account will also be synced. With mobile email installed, staff can track and manage work duties and appointments wherever they are. There’ll be no more last minute calls from employees asking the office to check the location and time of their next meeting!
If anyone in your company is on location and needs to provide information from an email to a client or contact, this can be simply shown on their mobile screen, without the need to print out emails or send over the information at a later point. Mobile email will enable you to present information as and when needed, as a more proactive and professional approach to client engagement. Showing that as a business, you’re up to date with technological trends, will also promote your proactivity.
Mobile email can be set up for multiple mobile devices and operating systems, so that you can benefit from enhanced email activity whatever mobile you own.
