Solutions to email overload

There's a better way to scan emails and assign them to colleagues — by using NationBuilder in the People section of your nation.

Email overload! You come back from lunch and there's another 10 emails glaring back at you.

After you've finished with your personal inbox you check the generic one which is routed to another other email address which a colleague no longer on staff was responsible for. Ugh. 

Now its 2:00pm and time for your next meeting, that creative project you were excited to start will have to wait for another day. You've spent an hour reading through emails, assessing who they need to go to and then forwarding them on to other colleagues. You're the middleman of communication and worst yet these valuable conversations aren't being saved in the profile of the people writing in. 

The people writing in could have just attended one of your events, they might be an expired member or retweeted you but you don't have that context in your Outlook or Gmail account. 

There's a better way to scan emails and assign them to colleagues — by using NationBuilder in the People section of your nation. You can send reply emails directly from a person's profile where you'll be able to get the whole context of who this person is and how they are engaged with your organisation.
