Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks… Especially For Treats!
I started using CompuServe email in 1978, with an email address of 75140,1147@compuserve.net. I started using Outlook when it was first released in 1997 and have been using it for the 27 years since. In other words, this “Old Dog” has been using Outlook for almost 50% of his life!
I Love Front! The capabilities (“Treats”) Front offers, to organize, prioritize and stay on top of communication, as an individual, but especially as a team, are unparalleled. The Logistics company I’m part of, handles thousands of time-critical emails every day and our team’s productivity, accountability and yes, job satisfaction using Front, has soared.
Is Front perfect? Nothing is. Is Front worth learning and using? IMNSHO (In My Not So Humble Opinion), absolutely!
My advice for getting the most out of Front is to go through all the great online training resources offered here on this site. If you have an Admin role in your organization, become a Front Certified Administrator. Try every feature. Network with your team, discuss each feature and actively look for ways to use them to be more productive. Ask questions here, you’ll find the Fronteers (Front Team Members) and other Front users/admins more than willing to assist you.
See you out Front!
@nate_camp Totally hear you. At first, I wasn’t sure how to conceptualize Front inboxes with built-in discussions versus realtime communication tools like Slack or Teams. I shared my thoughts in a similar thread here if you’re curious:
Hi Nate,
Understandably change can make us uncomfortable but this change can optimise your productivity, improve time management and overall is way more user friendly than any other system I’ve used previously!
I would suggest looking through Front academy for courses to understand Front and what you can get out of it.
Hope this helps!
Hi Nate,
I think almost everyone on my team felt the same, specially since each of us had different workflows/labels already used in Outlook/Gmail. However, even with the entry level features like tags/archive/snooze, Front has optimized our workload and processes.
Many of our teams also use other 3rd party CRMs like Gainsight/Salesforce and having everything into a single context tool, saves us sooo much time.
I’m sure you won’t want to go back after a couple of weeks!
