In 2020, close to 306.4 billion emails were exchanged each day, and this number is expected to shoot up to over 361.6 billion daily emails in 2024.1 With so many emails being sent and received on a daily basis, email management is critical for organizations to function smoothly. Especially for customer-facing teams that deal with customer emails, day in and day out.

Everyone knows customer service is important. Or at least everyone should know. Because we are all customers. And customer service is everywhere. Some customer experiences are obvious. You’re probably thinking about them now. For example, the way the clerk treats you in a store, or a company’s generous return policy.

Remote working, working-at-home, telecommuting, and any other similar variations of terms that describe working outside the walls of a traditional office, are getting increased popularity in recent years. Before Covid 19 working from home was a luxury that many of us dreamed of. Seeing pictures of remote workers in some distant places was something that we all wished for (at least I know I did). But let’s be real. Not all that glitters is gold. Working from home has some pitfalls as well.

“Do you want to make that a meal?” It’s the most common offer at a drive-through window, and one most of us say yes to. It’s also a great example of cross-selling hard at work. Next comes the inevitable follow-up: “Would you like to make that a large for a dollar more?” Of course you would. Bam. You’ve just been hit with the upsell.

It’s Women’s History Month, and we’re celebrating women in leadership all month long here at Asana. And strong leadership is critical to successfully managing a team—whether it’s one person, 10, or an entire company. Especially over the past year, which has been challenging in many ways, but also created unexpected opportunities.

Creating the perfect notification strategy is like walking a tightrope of constantly changing do’s and don’ts. Send too few, and you may fail to engage your user base. Send too many, and you may quickly annoy them. Utilize multiple channels for a more holistic strategy and risk overwhelming your user. Focus on a single channel, and they might not notice your messages timeously. Send your notification in the morning, and it could get lost amongst all the others.

With the rise of remote work we are communicating online in more ways than ever, which is why ease of use and security have taken a front seat as many organizations grapple with maintaining productivity while protecting their data. The recognition comes as another accolade following the launch of our next-generation conferencing capability to scale and give customers better control of their data while supporting their workers' communication needs.
