Use Technology To Help You Manage
• You have a permanent record of what has been said. Everybody has the same information.
• You can organize your communication into different folders. Don't just have a saved folder. You can have folders on sales, press information, people, projects, etc.
• You can communicate anywhere at any time, whether you are home sick, or out at an expo.

E-mail is also a perfect way to market your company. On my signature I put links to my company's Web site as well as to our photo gallery. It is just one other way to manage using technology.
So use the tools of technology to your advantage. If used correctly you avoid stress and make your customers see you're efficient, in command and that they can count on you.
