Have you ever thought about the possibility of missing out on business opportunities or losing important correspondence because of your spam filter? Chances are, yes you are.
All unknown or unexpected messages, which unfortunately include inquiries from prospective customers, are flagged down by spam filters and detoured to your spam box and you’d never find out unless you checked. Great opportunities can be missed if those inquiries do not who up in your inbox.
No for some easy steps to receive leads, protect your email and avoid financial and technical regrets:
1. If you use automated email filtering, make a habit of checking your spam box regularly. If you use Microsoft Outlook and AOL, adjust your security levels settings accordingly.
2. Have your webmaster set up a response form to your website, which alerts you automatically when your server recognizes an email.
3. If delivery is controlled at the ISP level, it’s best to update your “safe” and “blocked” sender lists repeatedly.
4. Use two different email accounts to separate your personal correspondence from you business messages.
5. Avoid being subjected to viruses and Adware attack by staying away from free software and clicking on unsolicited advertisements.
