It's frustrating, and even make meetings unproductive and tightened. Objections on your part such people will tell you that they are waiting for a very important letter, so just can not break away from their laptops. That may be true.
Ron Patrick, IT-consultant, told the magazine Inc.com as it solves the problem of urgent emails that need to even get a meeting with customers and partners, without spending the whole meeting on a laptop.
He uses his company Google for Domains mail with the service AwayFind.comThat does a very simple thing - it pushes on your phone (supported by the iPhone and Android) by mailing a letter, which you have assigned as the Extremely urgent. Those. if you are about to have to come from the artists or the latest build of the agreed contract lawyer, which urgently needs to send to the customer, then you will not miss this letter during a meeting. The rest of the letter exactly wait 20-30 minutes.
And so it happened: the important messages are not missed, the person at the meeting you will receive a 100% focus, the meeting will be productive,... and your laptop peredohnet from you;)
