EMAIL OPERATING MODEL

Turn email into owned work instead of another inbox to monitor.

A useful email workflow classifies messages, extracts actions and deadlines, links conversations to the right client or opportunity, and creates trackable tasks. Drafting can be assisted by AI, but complaints, negotiations, financial matters and low-confidence cases should be routed to a person.
