Getting to Inbox Zero (Sponsored)
“Inbox Zero” is the holy grail of anyone and everyone who’s ever used email.
Not familiar with the term?
It means that your inbox is clean. Empty.
A vast of white space unblemished by electronic messages from clients, colleagues, legal blogs, or those retail websites that have new sales every 4.7 minutes.
Why It’s Harder for Attorneys
It seems unattainable enough for the average email user, but the problem is even more vexing for attorneys.
That’s because every form of client communication must be treated like gold.
It not only serves as a record of correspondence (and thus client service), but contains confidential information that could help make or break their case, or at the least guide you on how best to meet whatever other legal needs they have at the moment.
And there it sits, in your inbox, along with hundreds or even thousands of other emails that you keep telling yourself you’ll organize “right after I handle this one thing…”
The Answer to the Question, “Where Should I File This Email?”
Which presents an age-old problem faced by attorneys since the dawn of time: where to put away that email for safekeeping now and easy, stress-free retrieval later?
At best, too many attorneys set up myriad email file folders under their inbox.
If they’re really on the ball, that folder might even be labeled with the client’s name. Fancy!
But that means the emails are still in a virtual pile, just a better-labeled virtual pile than before.
The best way to stay on top of all these emails is to put them exactly where they belong: directly attached to their respective matters.
Luckily, the new Matter Correspondence feature in LexisNexis Firm Manager® online practice management makes that complicated-sounding process fast and easy, in just four steps:
- Every matter is assigned a unique correspondence email address.
- Any email sent or forwarded to this address is automatically added to the matter.
- There’s no limit to the amount of emails you can catalog, since Firm Manager has unlimited online storage.
- All Correspondence emails can be opened, re-saved locally or saved online into your Firm Manager Documents, safe, secure and accessible anytime, anywhere.
Also Helps Clean Out Filing Cabinets
And you’re not limited to just assigning emails to matters, either. You can send any attachments you want and catalog them, too.
From exhibits to contracts, presentations to recorded depositions, any supporting or other client-related materials you have can be “taken digital,” organized where they should be, and always available from your smartphone, laptop or tablet.
And it’s as Easy as Sending an Email
To see more of this slick technology for yourself, sign up for a free 30-day Firm Manager trial.
Your inbox (and your happy clients) will thank you.
