Thrill of an email

There is nothing more exciting Friday morning than the thrill of an email notification that contains a copy of a receipt for new license acquisition from a long time client. It means their business is growing. We recommend turning off email notifications except where it is business critical.

Growth means new prospects and more sales. That existing customers are easily able to scale their technology to changing circumstances effortless while reducing costs and increasing productivity is priceless. It means more profit for them with less frustration. Which in turn means…

I changed the email arrival sound for those emails to the chime of an old-time cash register drawer. Try it, here is how:

Thrill of an email

“Cha Ching” setup. 

Start by creating a new rule in Office Outlook, (Depending on version your buttons/menus may look different.)

Before starting the rule make sure the email is highlighted. Mine comes from TSI Mail Services which is an automated account used from a variety of company notifications. The one that means an order has arrived has a subject Account Update and the customer number. Since I want the sound for all orders and not just the customer now, I remove that part of the subject. Having many windows open I like an alert window to be oped since I may not be here when the sound plays and I know I’ll the New Item Alert window eventually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By clicking the browse button it is easy to change the sound.
