| We've Changed Our Look |
It's the same great content inside a brand new "wrapper." As
part of our ongoing rebranding project, we've updated
the look and feel of the Trendletter, including how
we spell it in our splashy new header.
Look for these colorful icons to help you readily identify
Trendletter content.

| From the Top: Keeping It Easy |
 I get lots of e-mails. Actually, I get too many.
As some of it is simply my fault, I am working
to reform my e-mail behavior. I am responding
more by phone. I am originating fewer e-mail threads.
Phone calls are far more likely to resolve matters
rather than seemingly endless e-mail loops.
If you want me to call you, make it easy for me.
Put your phone numbers in your e-mail signature
-- and put that signature on every e-mail -- even
your replies. It doesn't cost you anything, it
doesn't take any time -- and it saves me time.
While you're at it, make your company's phone
number very easy to find on your website. Why
not have it at the bottom of every page?
When you
do send me an e-mail, summarize the critical information
in the body of the e-mail rather than have me
open and read an attached file. If you need to
send me a file, send me the summary and outline
the action item(s) in the e-mail.
Want to communicate? Be easy.
D. Todd Dollinger, CEO, T.I.F. Ventures, and Chairman, The Trendlines
Group
