Dear readers,

I am constantly amazed by this one simple thing.  I am frequently asked by my team members to change their email address on file.  It can sometimes be confusing for me to keep up with.  Imagine how confusing it is for prospects!

If you’re constantly changing your email address you’re not providing a professional image for your business. In fact I’d say you’re treating your business like a hobby instead of a business.

If you must change your email address, try to keep your old address active.  I use Google’s Gmail and they allow me to check other email addresses.  I only have to check one email account and I can retrieve all my email.

One of my team members thought my email had changed because I used a different email when I hosted a training. I laughed to myself because I probably have more than a dozen different email addresses!  I never let them expire.  I have a couple of email addresses that are over 10 years old.  One is probably 14 years old.

Why? Well what if an old friend wants to get in touch with me?  What if someone I met in another job or another business wants to get in touch with me?  It’s such a simple thing, why miss out on an opportunity.

This is also the reason why you shouldn’t be using email from your cable company, telephone company, etc.  If you change your  service someday you’ll loose your email address.  If you’re going to use a free service use something like Yahoo or Gmail so you can be sure your email address will be around for a long time.

I’d actually recommend you purchase your own domain name so you can have your own email address that you own permanently. It doesn’t cost much and gives you a much more professional image for your business.

Don’t miss out on an opportunity by changing your email or using an email address you might loose someday.

Talk to you soon,

Ben Fitts
