I work hard on reducing my inbox down to zero as much as possible and almost daily. I do admit that there are days that this task is not manageable but my goal, on most days, is to have my inbox empty at the end of the day, which is a great feeling when achieved. Almost six years ago, I first wrote about the Inbox Zero concept and shared several insights as to why it makes sense to do so and how to do this.

These consumer-focused companies are finally learning what professional services firms have known for decades—dare I say centuries. Sales and Marketing are about building trusting relationships.
