| Why would you
use Microsoft Outlook? Not only is Outlook a useful program for keeping track of
contacts, but it allows you to schedule appointments and meetings, track and assign tasks,
keep up-to date journals on projects, exchange information with others, and automatically
document customer and vendor follow-ups. |
Keeping
up with Contacts  Keeping
up with many different people via phone, e-mail, or fax, can be done through Outlook
effortlessly. Locate a contract quickly, by name, by Company, or by whatever
triggers your memory and have Outlook dial the phone for you, or send electronic mail
messages once the contact's been located. It's like having an efficient assistant
right at your fingertips! The only thing required to accomplish this is a modem, and
Internet access. |
|
Meetings
 Want to plan a meeting and get responses quickly? The meeting
feature of Outlook is especially helpful. You can schedule a meeting electronically
and track responses, check whether the request has been received, and whether it has been
read. If the meeting is accepted, Outlook automatically places it on yours and the
invitees' calendars. |
Journal
Entries  Can't
remember when you contacted someone and by what method? Set Outlook to automatically
record these responses for you in a journal. |
|
Tasks
 Need to keep a daily to-do-list? Outlook can do that
too. With Outlook you can update the progress on tasks, keep track of individual and
recurring tasks, and view and keep status reports on tasks. |
