E-mail Driving You Crazy? Decide!
Over the last few years, I’ve been leading time & e-mail management sessions at major conferences, corporations, and universities in the United States and abroad, and over that time I’ve had the opportunity to take a good close look at the key issues people are having with their e-mail effectiveness. Perhaps one of the biggest problems (areas of opportunity?) that I see is how people are handling individual e-mails, causing their e-mail inboxes to “stack up” and then become unwieldy.

How to get started
To get started with Randy Dean, there are two web sites that provide a great deal of additional information on me and my programs. My "general" web site is http://www.randalldean.com, and that site provides a great deal of information on the breadth of my program offerings and services.
A new site, http://www.emailsanityexpert.com, focuses on my new book and related speaking/training programs in the area of e-mail management and e-mail sanity. I am working to become known as one of the leading national experts in this niche, and the efforts in this area (conference programs, corporate training events, and book reviews) have been very positive.
There are many options to request additional information and take advantage of free bonuses on both of these sites. Please use these sites as your gateway to starting a relationship with me. (You can of course also just send an e-mail to randy@randalldean.com.)
