Your business is losing hundreds of hours to spam every year
Everyone hates spam.
But because the spam filters are so good these days, maybe you feel like it’s not a big problem for your business?
Wait till you hear this. A new report revealed everyone on your team could waste up to 80 hours a year, scrolling through and deleting spam emails.
Between 45 and 85 per cent of all emails sent every day are spam.
Researchers calculated someone who only gets 30 external emails a day will probably waste about 5 hours a year.
It’s the business owners and managers whose time is mostly wasted. If you get more than a hundred external emails a day, you’ll spend 80 hours a year sorting and reporting them.
Add that up across your team and it’s a productivity killer. There are settings in your email service to help protect you from more spam.
Training can also help your team spot a spam message faster – and could stop them from clicking on bad links.

“Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.
Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.
He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.
Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
