Google Calendar Saves You Time and Helps You Organize Multiple Schedules
Combine Gmail with Google Calendar
Google Calendar is a free (The Price Is Right!) Internet based calendar where
you can organize your time and share your appointments with others. You can
import events from Outlook, I-cal or Yahoo calendars.
Benefits of Google Calendar
1. Create Multiple Calendars - Whether you are managing direct reports, training
team members and staff, or balancing your personal and business calendars, the
Google Calendar helps you to organize more efficiently by using color coded
calendars. You can maintain separate calendars for personal, business, team and
family engagements. These calendars can all interface into one so you can see
the big picture.
2. Use Event Invites - Schedule team meetings, events and one-on-one coaching.
Send Invites for family events, conference calls and parties and collect RSVP.
This is similar to evite.com without the graphics.
3. Track Team Performance - Follow goals and objectives of your team members and
staff.
4. Online/Offline Visibility - Print and view your Calendar in a variety of
formats (agenda, daily, weekly, monthly)
5. Determine, Decide & Delegate - Determine what needs to be done. Decide who
will do it. Delegate activities. Assign tasks to team members, staff and
participants for team meeting preparation.
6. Share the Responsibility - Google has superiority in this area. You can
transfer calendar ownership and grant or deny permission rights to allow others
to manage and update information. If you are part of an organization and want to
schedule meetings, collect RSVPs and arrange meeting locations like we did for
our NAWBO round table, calendar sharing makes this easy.
7. Generate Task Lists - Tasks will show up on your calendar by due date. You
can satisfyingly check off the items you accomplish.
8. Publicize Your Calendar - Embed your calendar into your web site and visitors
can see your upcoming events. See my public Google Calendar.
What's the Downside?
Periodically Google's server is slow, however this is rare. Some of the features
and functions may take familiarizing time, but it is worth the investment to
learn about these tools. Once you learn your way around, you will find the
technology is created with simplicity in mind. So you can see - Gmail is much
more with it than AOL and other competitive products! Enjoy the speed,
simplicity, search-ability, spam-LESS, storage, star features and functionality.
It is time you consider a change.

Googlize to Save Time and Money

1. The Price is Right! Gmail is free. And you will not be bothered with desktop
software (i.e. Outlook) to purchase, update or upgrade!
2. Gmail Goes with You! Gmail is web-based. You can access your email anywhere
you can get online unlike a desk top software solution.
3. Gigs of Space! Gmail offers users abundant storage space; over 7 GB (and
counting, because Google keeps improving its product) meaning most of us won't
ever have to delete a message. This amount of storage is double the amount of
space provided by its competitors. They even provide a premium service option
that allows businesses to raise their storage and enjoy up to 33% savíngs by
converting to Google applications. Compare for yourself. Use a Calculator to
project your business savíngs.
4. Gmail Chat - Conduct real time communication with Gmail subscribers. Build
your base of Contacts, Customers, and (staff) Team members. You can opt to save
chats and later access them through the search feature. This is useful when
sharing web links and other details.
5. Less Spam - Gmail filters spam so you do not have to.
6. Contained Commercial Ads - Google does not incorporate advertisements into
the message body as AOL does. Related advertisements appear in the side panes,
although these do not interfere with your message. These advertisements are
predicative matches populated by key words in the current emails. Ads are
machine-matched.
7. Reliable Retrieval of Information - Email is searchable by topic, sender,
keywords, date, etc. Google does not search spam or trash which means your
results are more inclined to be relevant.
8. Greater Organization - File topics under multiple labels for ease in
searching. For those who are used to working with folders, this transition may
take some time. Emails can be filed under multiple labels: For example: Future
interest, Past Customers, Possible Recruits, and Spring Call Backs. The ability
to classify emails with multiple labels gives you fast access to archived
information. Archived emails are still searchable. Use filters, stars and
constantly archive incoming mail to reign in your inbound communication.
9. Maximum Mobility - Receive Gmail on your mobile phone. My Gmail arrives on my
Blackberry, which has pleasantly eliminated the need to tote a laptop.
10. Mesh Your Other Email Clients - Integrate Gmail with your other email
clients so that all of your email goes to one account. Reply to emails from your
originating email address. You can automatically reply from the same address or
reply from the account of your choice. (For example, I forward my personal email
and my business email to my gmail account. You can automatically reply from the
same address or reply from the account of your choice.
