I'm going to tell you about a great service I use a lot and I'd like to
see you use it too. Its free and it has lots of benefits and advantages.
It is to be found at mailtracking and once you sign up for it and start using it you will understand its benefits real well.
If
you use it and send me an email (for example) you will get a report
back that tells you when I opened your email, how long it took me to
read it and if I open it, read it and close it then open it again later
it wil also tell you that.
If I were to forward your email to
anyone else it would tell you I did that, when that person opened it and
how long they took to read it.
There are other bells and
whistles too. You can do a pretty fair job of customization once you get
into the configuration menus.
The one thing you want to watch
out for is that you don't demand that I send you an email receipt for
opening your emails. Some of you do that now and I never hit the send
button. The reason I don't acknowledge receipt is that my firewall won't
let me do it for some strange reason. With mailtracking you don't need
that because you are going to get a receipt anyway.
Now then,
let me explain the whys and wherefores bit more. Let us assume that you
send me an email and I don't answer it. Why would I ignore your emails?
Well, I usually wouldn't but sometimes when deleting some to the junk
emails I get a "key bounce" effect and more than one email gets deleted.
The one that got unintentionly deleted might very well have been your
email. I probably would not have any way of responding to you since I
don't keep email address books because of the virus problems.
Then
maybe I don't get back to you because I'm extremely busy from time to
time and your email gets shoved down the stack of constantly incoming
emails and goes by unnoticed, and you don't get the service we both want
you to have.
Now then, with mail tracking you know exactly when I
opened your email or if I didn't even open it. You know that I want to
give you the very best service possible and you know that I want to get
your email answered within 24 hours if at all possible. That means that
if I don't answer you within 24 hours something has gone wrong. What
might have gone wrong? As we all know, anything can go wrong with email.
You make a typo and I don't get it but for whatever reason you don't
get a mailer daemon return from it, So there you sit, getting madder by
the hour. And I am oblivious to what has happened.
If you use mailtracking.com service lots of that frustration can be
eliminated. You can send me another email if I don't answer within 24
hours so you can be sure to get my attention and some action going for
you.
If I open the email you will know when I opened it and if I
don't get back to you within 24 hours you will know it is time to start
calling me or asking me what for and why.
Use it for sending
email to other businesses for the same reasons. And use it with friends,
relatives and whoever for the same reasons. It isn't about trying to
track them down or stalk anyone although you could come pretty close
with the pro version I use. I could not use it to find your house and
actually drive right up to your front door except by accident. In order
to actually do that I would have to know your actual address but lacking
that I could drive right up to your door, sit there in front of your
house and look around me and wonder which house was really yours and not
know I was sitting right in front of it. And why on earth would I want
to do that anyway?
I use it because I want to know that you got what I sent you and so why wouldn't you use it for the same reason?
I
think it can be used when sending payments by paypal too. I'd like you
to start trying to use it when sending in a payment. That would make
sure you sent it to bbauer1@netzero.net and not to bbauer@netzero.com or
some other bad address and if you did that you would have a way to
track the mistake and get your money back faster so you can send it to
the right address.
You don't even have to sign up for their
service to start using it. All you have to do is send an email to
someone such as ceo@creditwrench.mailtracking.com and mailtracker will
immediately pick up on that and send you back a confirmation telling you
that they opened a free temporary account for you. Then you can follow
the links in that and go sign up and customize your settings and start
using it. Their pro version is only about $40 a year and I think that is
well worth it when you send out as many emails as I do.
Security
and service are important to all of us and this tool heightens both of
those a whole lot. Get it and try it. I think you will like it.
