This 97 page eKit
outlines the magnitude
and opportunities
presented by taming
wasteful email practices
throughout your
organization. Then, it
gives you the formula
and tools to do it. It
starts at the top, with
the leadership, and
filters throughout the
organization. The
reclaimed productivity
and profits could be
huge. Why wait?.
Here's what you will
get:
Part One - The Problem
The first part of this
E-Kit will open your
eyes and perhaps even
make your jaws drop as
you assess the potential
productivity you can
reclaim by embracing
positive e-mail habits,
and creating an
efficient e-mail culture
in your organization.
-
We have provided you
background on the depth
of the problem, and the
opportunity that exists
by addressing it.
-
We
have given you formulas
to assess the potential
waste in your business.
-
We have offered you
explanations for not
only how e-mail took
control of us, but why
we have been so slow to
diagnose it.
-
And we
have given you
solutions.
Part Two - The Solution
Part Two gives you the
nuts and bolts of how to
set up a successful
Clean Out Your Inbox
Week, from concept to
vision to launch
meetings to reward
ideas. The Appendix
contains healthful
resources such as sample
press releases, e-mails,
posters, etc.
We Have Done A Lot
of the Work for You...
We have included sample
timelines, sample
announcements, sample
press releases, posters,
screensavers, meeting
agendas, and other
information that will be
helpful to you in
promoting and rewarding
your coworkers to
achieve an empty inbox
during national Clean
Out Your Inbox Week.
Here is one of the
camera ready artwork
samples:
These are only
suggestions, creativity
and knowing your
business culture will
open the door for a very
successful week. Be as
creative as possible,
and watch the stress go
down in your company.
Three more reasons the
eKit will help...
1. It is "Change
Management in a kit "
Clean Out Your Inbox
Week eKit outlines a
focused, week long
program that is intended
to highlight the impact
e-mail practices can
have on productivity.
It is a simple, yet
effective way to get an
entire organization
aligned with using
e-mail best practices.
We've done the basic
planning for you - all
you do is apply your
creativity wherever you
want to!
2. It Centers
on Three Primary Behaviors
It centers around the three
behaviors that will
impact most peoples’
productivity.
Instead of trying to
address the myriad of
wasteful e-mail habits
exhibited by a myriad of
workers, we believe that
getting everyone to
focus on three behaviors
will make the program
easier to promote,
monitor, and reward.
3. It calls for
everyone to get on board
for the same week. While it doesn’t mean
that other e-mail best
practices can’t be
highlighted during this
period of empha
sis,
having everyone in the
organization embrace the
same three practices
will bring more targeted
focus, and more tangible
results.
This is what we call "change
management made simple."

The Vision Outlined in
the eKit
A Week of Focus
To be most effective, we
advocate a week of
actual focus on e-mail
best practices. We
believe the last week in
January is ideal because
it lends itself to
preparing for the new
year by decluttering the
old. January is a time
for embracing new
habits.
All Inboxes Empty by the
End of the Week
The primary focus of the
week is to have everyone
in the organization have
an empty inbox by the
end of that week. While
this may be easy for
some, it could be a very
large task for others.
This is a very simple
concept, easy to
explain, and fun to
celebrate.
Two Supporting Behaviors
The two supporting
behaviors that are a
critical part of this
week’s success are to
have everyone in the
organization check for
their e-mail only five
times, maximum, per day
and to not use e-mail
communications for
anything urgent.
Absolutely critical to
the success of Clean Out
Your Inbox Week is the
commitment by the
leadership and
management of the
organization to
-
Emptying their own
inboxes
-
Checking their
e-mail no more than
five times daily
-
Not using e-mail for
urgent
communications
Important NOTE:
If
these requirements sound
challenging, once you
read the eKit, you'll
know why they're
critical to the success
of the week - and you'll
WANT to enforce them!.
Strong Leadership
Involvement
The success of the week
lies in the hands of the
leadership, who will
actively support and
endorse the effort,
embrace new behaviors,
and commit to modeling
e-mail best practices.
Addressed in the eKit
are:
-
Committee or task force
composition and
charges
-
Elements of a
successful launch
meeting
-
Rewards and
promotional gadgets

The 10 Best
Practices of a
Positive E-Mail
Culture
We believe that the best
way to initiate a
company wide focus on
e-mail best practices is
to start with an easy to
implement program that
everyone can understand
and accomplish. That is
why we have developed a
framework that we
believe will work. It
is simple, it is
focused, and it is easy
to reward.

"Say
Yes to an empty in-box... I had it down to 14 the other day
and it ballooned back to over 120 today. Knocked off 40 or
so -- the obvious junk -- and then saw your reminder about
empty inbox week coming up and decided to handle the rest."
Thanks!
