The Tellwise sales-enablement and communications platform can help you build relationships and possibly close deals faster. It also prioritizes alerts based on age and strength of relationships. Then it puts that vital information together: If a sender deemed an important relationship sends you a question and you don’t reply, Voxa sends you an alert. Voxa also scans your email (both inbound and outbound) for questions, and tracks whether or not messages with questions receive replies. For starters, this tool keeps score on all of your contacts to determine the most important ones and your strongest relationships. Enter Voxa, a free web-based platform that delivers some slick features. In addition to intelligent filtering, another way to stay on top of email is by using a product that learns what type of messages you respond to quickly, who you answer and so on. This email security gateway can be installed on Exchange and other email servers. It stops and sanitizes malicious emails, and filters over 99 percent of spam. GFI MailEssentials is a server-based anti-spam and email security solution that protects your email setup using 14 built-in email hygiene and protection technologies, as well as up to five virus scanning engines. The platform also offers a Safe Unsubscribe feature that lets you unsubscribe from all unwanted graymail in one click, and it works with whatever unsubscribe method (email, through a direct unsubscribe Web page, or through Web pages with forms) the sender uses. Based on its classification and the probability that a given message is spam, the engine determines the appropriate action, from tagging, rejecting, dropping, or routing the message. The filtering engine classifies each message in different categories: commercial emails and newsletters, social network notifications, virus, spam, and legitimate email. Vade Retro estimates that between 50 and 75 percent of emails are graymail – low priority mail that isn’t necessarily spam.
