In today's culture of constant message bombardment, an important email or two is often lost in the mix.
You might see an email and tell yourself you'll reply later, but then forget; you might even miss the email completely.
So what's the best way to prevent this from happening? By setting yourself a follow-up reminder.
Often, a simple follow-up email can be instrumental in obtaining a response.
Although, the vast majority of emails remain without a follow-up. Mailbutler makes it easy for you to stay on top of crucial emails that need revisiting with Follow-up Tasks.
This means you'll never forget to respond to a message, and you'll maximize your chances of getting a response. Read on to learn more about Mailbutler Tasks.
Follow-up Reminders are a popular sub-feature of Mailbutler Tasks. The Mailbutler Tasks feature lets you set up hassle-free reminders on to-dos right within your inbox.
You can set a specific follow-up task in two clicks on either emails or contacts, and receive a reminder after a certain amount of time if you haven't received a reply.
Creating a reminder task is as easy as clicking a button. It takes just a few seconds to set one, after which you'll receive a reminder to send a follow-up email at a date and time of your choosing.
This way, you'll never forget to respond to an important email and increase your chances of retaining that customer, winning that client, or getting that important piece of information you need.
Moreover, you can sync Mailbutler Tasks with different apps, including Trello, Asana, Todoist, Wunderlist and many more.
