About This Course

Is your Gmail a “beast”? Does it take up too much time, cause distraction, and actually get in the way of productivity vs. helping with productivity?

Without a system for “controlling the beast”, professionals spend much of their work (and personal) time spinning wheels in their inboxes and feeling highly unproductive. If you would like to get control of your e-mail “beast”, you should attend this program led by Randy Dean, MBA, author of the Amazon bestseller, Taming the E-mail Beast. Randy shares strategies for effective e-mail management, organization, and prioritization (with this version of the course featuring live and newly updated demos in Gmail!) that have helped thousands of business professionals regain control and sanity with their e-mail activities (one university client even found that the average attendee saved more than 2 hours per week by taking this program!)

Understand the nature of e-mail information overload and enhance your efficiency today and walk away with immediately usable tips and techniques!
