Have you noticed all the BUZZ about the changes at Gmail?
If you have a Gmail account or an email list of subscribers, this is an important heads-up.
Gmail (which is owned by Google) has implemented a new filtering system automatically decides what shows up your inbox.
(If you have a Gmail account and haven’t seen this feature yet, you will. Gmail is rolling out this change over time and eventually all Gmail users will automatically have it.)
Before, everything was categorized how you wanted it.
But now, Gmail has decided to implement a new feature that filters YOUR email how THEY see fit.
Imagine how frustrated you would feel if you opted-in to receive emails about important trainings, resources, tools and strategies to grow your coaching business but you didn’t see them because Gmail decided not to put them in your inbox.
I wouldn’t like that and I bet you wouldn’t either.
Here’s How to Take Charge of Your Gmail Inbox:
***********************************
Just above your inbox, Gmail will now put your emails into 5 categories:
* Primary
* Social
* Promotions
* Updates
* Forums
The problem is, Gmail won’t know you’re focused on your coaching business and will automatically put the messages I send you into “Promotions”.
As long as my messages are in “Promotions” – you won’t see them because “Promotions” skips your inbox.
How To Take Back Your Inbox
Here’s what you can do to make sure we stay connected:
#1 – Find one of my emails in “Promotions” and drag it into “Primary”
#2 – A pop-up will appear to ask if you want to do this for all future messages. Click “Yes”.
#3 – That’s it. Super easy and now Gmail will know we’re friends!
And you won’t miss any of my messages to you :-)
BONUS TIP if you want to totally get rid of this new Gmail feature:
=> Go to “Settings” [the icon on the top right corner of your screen above your inbox] and select “Settings.”
=> Click on the “Inbox” tab and “Unselect” all categories but “Primary” and then click “Save Changes.”
That’s all you need to do to regain control of your in-box.
Hope this is helpful too you.
I look forward to staying connected!
“My coaching business did not exist before I joined the Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. program! What I really like about the system is that it helped me to learn how to structure my consultation calls so that I attract clients rather than try to push my service on them and also, to work around the money objection. Despite the fact that my coaching business is new; with the help of the system I have already secured several clients and scheduled more consultation sessions. It changes the focus when I concentrate on consultation calls, and it takes a lot of the pressure off. Michelle’s Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. program has truly helped me with gaining more self-confidence and I am so happy that I have already secured new clients after just a few consultations! Thank you Michelle!!!”
“I hired Michelle when I first launched my coaching business. I appreciated her sense of humor and fun, and was impressed by the CAGR system and Michelle’s marketing knowledge. One of the biggest benefits of working with her learning how to adapt the CAGR marketing principles to my specific business needs.
“My coaching business before the Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. system wasn’t really working, especially with my approach to services. I didn’t have a clear strategy on marketing, packaging and pricing my services. The materials helped me to narrow my business focus and my target market. I feel more confident talking about my business and working with others now. The Packaging and Pricing module and the Client Consultation components really helped a great deal. It also gave me the confidence to charge more for individual coaching and to create some lower-priced/ shorter-term coaching products.
