  • In this video, "Virtual Assistant Training: Inbox Management," you'll learn how to create an inbox management system that works for both you and your clients.
    I think inbox management is one of the hardest tasks as a virtual assistant, and that’s because each inbox is as unique as each client themselves. Everyone has different workflows and expectations when it comes to email and unless your client is completely hands-off and lets you take their inbox over free reign...it can be challenging to create a system that works for you both. Having said that, there are ways to help make this particular task easier.
    First, bookmark or download the "inbox management information-gathering" document: docs.google.com/document/d/1m...
    Next, follow this inbox management system:
    Step 1: Eliminate
    Step 2: Archive
    Step 3: Create folders
    Step 4: Create labels and priority systems

    Thank you for your video! I was looking for a how-to execute an inbox decluttering with a client rather than how Gmail works. There's one small adjustment though, Gmail is slightly different from other email clients (eg Outlook). It doesn't have folders, only labels. When the user arrives in their inbox they see all the emails that have the label "inbox" on them. When it's removed the email goes into the archive.

    Hello Erin, that was really clear, concise and impressive. Very neatly explained. thanks a lot. what are the most common tools that we can use as VAs for email management, do clients only use gmail mostly. Please shed more light upon if possible. Thanks again. I am seriously trying to get started as a VA.

    • @ErinBooth
      @ErinBooth  2 роки тому +2

      Hi! There’s no universal answer here as clients may use a variety of email platforms. Same with tools - email management can be as simple as ensuring your clients inboxes are clean - or as complicated as using tools like Streak (which turns your inbox into a CRM). I recommend seeing what your client is using first before you explore other tools.

    • @ErinBooth
      @ErinBooth  Рік тому +1

      Ask your client if they are ok with you skimming (reading quickly) for context. If they say yes, you can read the emails, and label them, and then mark them as “unread.”
      If they’re not ok with you reading emails, you’ll need to guess as best you can by the email titles.
