I never send emails. If I need to communicate with someone, I ask them to come to my office or I just pick up the phone.
But there are people I know who are always sending emails. They’re always on their computers or their Blackberrys or their iPhones. They send and receive hundreds of messages a day.
Thirty-five million emails are sent daily. White-collar workers spend more than two hours of their paid time each day at a total loss for all employers of 28 billion hours a year and $650 billion dollars! So they waste time and productivity as well as lots of money for employers.
Sure, in many cases business gets done through email but you have to wade through a lot of junk to get through the messages that are actually important.
Try using the phone or actually meeting with someone instead of spending hours and hours on email. Don’t waste your time and your employer’s money.

We could even text on the cell phone, but what is the point if no-one answers the call and delets them into junk mail. We have a private phone, once we review proposals.. An email takes less than 2 seconds to send anywhere at anytime in the world. Try to catch the right person by phone sometimes is just plain impossible. Restrict or set up a private E-mail address might be sharper to us. We just hate to be interupted by someone that does not undererstand how to communicate in the real world of e-commerce. Some love cell phones...some love E-mail..to us it is a combination of skills.
Mr. Trump, how many times have you answered your phone only to hear ( another?) pre-recorded message for car insurance? I'm sort of expecting this e-mail to meet any screeners approval, and access to your presence for the future meeting we will surely someday have.
Say hello to Ivanka for me?
Well, anyway, more to the point of my problem: I'm living in Beijing, China. But the Trump University Web site doesn't have the service for shipping books outside U.S. How can I subscrip your books on web? Looking forward to seeing the reply with some way to resovle the problem. With many thanks!

E-mail eliminates phone tag.
E-mail leaves a record of communication that can last forever. If I want to remember the details of a communication five years ago, I just look up that person's name in my archives.
E-mail is the easiest way to send documents- you can get an article from someone 1000 miles away in 5 seconds.
E-mail eliminates interuptions while allowing you to know what is happening.
If you are working on a deadline, you often don't want to be interupted by every little thing, but while you are working, you can see the e-mail come in out of the corner of your eye, see who sent it, and get parts of the first sentence without breaking your train of thought. If it's more important than what you are currently working on, you can shift gears and deal with the incoming issue.
If someone wants to change a project, I require them to send me an e-mail so I have the original work plan and all requested changes in the project directory.
You can set filters to reduce or eliminate junk e-mails.
If someone wants to draw your attention, they can put a flag on the e-mail.
If I want to cover an important issue with someone who is snowed under with e-mail, I'll often write an e-mail, then travel down to their office to tell them I just sent an e-mail. They have the pertinent facts in writing- as well as a personal communication.
Before e-mail there were memos. Now we don't need a mail room to deliver the paper. We don't need filing clerks to file the paper, and we don't need towers of metal bins to keep the paper. All of that has been replaced by a hard drive in a little box under your desk.
E-mail is a paper trail without the paper.
Personally, I don't keep paper copies unless it is something that I will have to produce. If someone gives me a paper copy, I go to the copy machine and have the copy machine e-mail me a pdf. Yes- even copy machines can send e-mails.
Filing is great electronically because you can organize communication in trees- first find the person, then the project, then the issue- then the e-mail.
And once you e-mail someone a copy of something, you can always find it because it is in your 'sent mail' folders.
Personal communication is great and I recommend it. But e-mail is wonderful and my job would be much more difficult without it.
You are amazing! I think you are very wise and I have taken your advice to heart. Thank you for the heads up! You are my financial hero!

I read your coment and agree to many txt messages and emails are over riding conversation and I also believe it is more personal and can send a stonger message via phone(but not in all cases) this is where its great to share our own opinion and learn and take on board from others.
thanks

P.S although you wont read this and i dont have your phone number, Im glad Im able to share my opinion :)
It might be more convenient for Mr. Trump to do without e-mail, but I'm guessing that he is supported by a legion of staff who could not possibly perform their jobs effectively and keep his enterprises running smoothly, were it not for e-mail and related technologies.
Try getting an important message to six, eight, ten or more people by calling them on the phone. Or worse, by trying to arrange a meeting around their busy and conflicting schedules, just to pass along some snippets of information that could easily have been transmitted via electronic means. We are having this conversation through electronic means inspired by e-mail. Imagine if The Donald had to call us all on the phone to tell us not to use e-mail. Or schedule a meeting in New York.
E-mail and related technologies are huge time SAVERS 9not time WASTERS) for the average knowledge worker.
Good day!

I am confident that the markets are heading towards filling in those GAPS between inovation and humanity. I agree we have to remember to be human, but it is hard to Trump the power of a well written e-mail, that can be delivered to over 1000 computers in a matter of seconds, it would take hunderds of thousands of dollars to pay for that sort of personal service. On this account, I must disagree with you Mr Trump. Not because I think I know more, or because I am smarter, but because regardless of how you roll the dice, there is no way to beat the speed of the e-mail. It is quick, and it can be as cleaver, and personal as a face to face. With the technology we have today, with cam chat the life we once saw in cartoons is our reality. The movement towards other cultures, via e-mails, is the trend. You just can not meet with Japan, Europe, and Russia in a matter of minutes any better, (or safer). With the violence on the rise, doing buisness via e-mail just seems a sensible option to cut down corporate costs, and keep the jet fuel out of the air, and get more done in one day.
Sure we all want to meet face to face- but it all begins one e-mail at a time....
The more personal, the better, (in my opinion only). But then again, as I said I don't have a pot to****in yet, and I am just now getting my feet grounded in the world of business.
I would like to say that Trump is right on tack in this account, but I think those who follow this lead will be left in the dust in the next 5-10 years as cultures keep trying to merge more and more together in the cyber world.
It is an exciting time in the cyber world, and those who are not a active part of regulating, and deciding what will become of all that has been created from the internet will not be the zillionairs or the future (just my opinion).
PS
I could use a job.... would like to work for you Trump, but we should agree to disagree on this topic.

America is now in search of a President. The candidates are lame and they always talk about the same things. They don’t really know how to go about being President, just get in that chair first and it’s a whole different story later.
My name is Louis Rankine, you know me. The whole world knows you. I picked you for a reason and now it is here. Many can see the pit America is digging for itself but, only a few know what to do about it.
To be President of America some time ago is now very different. It’s all about trade and a good deal every. This is what a business man would know and not someone rich fool with a smile. I ask you now Mr D. Trump, to run as President. The burden is great. Let me ask you, would you vote for any of the candidates running now because I wouldn’t and I’m not even an American. I hope that I don’t get to say I told you so.
Good Luck. Happy New Year .
Louis Rankine
Ignore it, report it to the FBI? Mark it as Spam?
Delete it?
It looks like a buisness market, that is looking for a home, a place to land, but I have NO idea what to make of it.
As I said I get so many e-mails LIKE this, and I have concluded that they are seeking information, but is there a gap in a market, a need fo a service as a result of EMAILS like this?
While I understand that you do not conduct business via e-mail, it looks to me like people ARE creating false markets, and there are gaps in markets where services are needed as a result of people doing business VIA e-mail.
