Hi, in my office there are a total of 3 sales people including myself. On a regular basis, we send out emails with offers for all of our customers and potential customers. The way I am doing it may not be the most productive way, so I'm hoping to get some insight from someone who may have more experience in the field. What I have done to send out offers from each salesperson's email account is I've set up a computer which I now remotely connect to on a daily basis which has Outlook 2007 installed. On that client I have set up all 3 email accounts for outgoing mail purposes. Furthermore, Outlook has 3 seperate contact lists, one for each sales person.
The problem is that if someone wants to add a name, they come to me with the email information and I have to connect to that computer and do it myself. Not only that, instead of preparing one email, I have to prepare three, one for each email account.
Is there any easier way to do this?
Maintaining the mailing list is a pain since I sometimes have to search three address books to see if the customer is already listed (so they don't get duplicates) and if there is a better solution I'd love to know.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Do you have the ability to create a new account? You could name it sales, and send/receive using that account.

Why don't you just setup Outlook on each computer and let each user send out his/her own emails?

Hi, I do have the ability to set up additional accounts. I have already done that. It is just time consuming to do every email three times. The reason that not everyone sends their own email is because these are emails with promotional items, so it is a mass email. I want the mass email to be sent from the sales rep, not a general email account.
I think I am going to end up using Constant contact or iContact.
Thanks anyway.
