The Best Little Known Business Tool

Pros

  • Easy to use and install, particularly with Gmail for business.
  • It has a simple feedback system, if a client reads an email, you get an emailed read receipt telling you the time of them doing so.
  • It runs in the background, is virtually undetectable and will not hinder any communication in the slightest.

Cons

  • The free version only gives you 5 trackable emails a day.
  • The information for clicking a link comes in a separate email than the read receipt, this can clog your inbox if you aren't diligent in clearing them out when you get them.

Return on Investment

  • It has sped up communication with the client because you have insight into how they are receiving and looking at material you have sent them.
  • It has not had any negative impact on the business or our operations.
