SaneBox vs Gmail: Which is a better fit?

John S.: Hey, I'm John. I'm a CEO. I give SaneBox of five out of five stars. For more information, click below. So before SaneBox, I was completely overwhelmed with email to the point where I literally tried to quit email. And told everyone I was done with it, to write me a letter or call me, or text me or something. And that didn't work. Email is just so much good about it that I couldn't give it up. I think I lasted three weeks off of email and a friend of mine recommended SaneBox. And he told me that could help me train my email where to go, to read later like a newsletter. Or most importantly in my case, where the junk would go, of course, to the black hole where I would never see it again. So SaneBox really saved me from getting totally away from email and I'm a big fan. So SaneBox was an easy choice for me. First of all, someone I trusted told me it was a no brainer. That if I was getting frustrated with my email to try SaneBox. And a big reason was there was no big commitment. I think it was under five bucks a month and I don't think there was any even a yearly commitment. So it was the easiest kind of subscription I've ever tried. And of course at this point, I would never get away from it. Getting started was I would say the hardest part of SaneBox in that I had to have someone help me. Our IT people kind of help us get it all on our computers and get a little bit of training on it. And then of course as the emails come in, you have to instead of just deleting them like I used to do or drag them to my own folder, I had to take just a little more time to put it in a black hole or to do a little training with it. But it took, I would say about a month before that work started to pay off and things started to happen automatically, which is of course what we want to see. Anyone considering SaneBox, I would say just try it, right? There's no big barrier to entry. You can always undo it if you hate it. But all the people that I know that have tried it have kept it. And just the one feature of taking all your junk to the black hole automatically, which to me that's hundreds of emails a week that I don't see anymore, is worth it. And there's a lot more too in terms of dragging things to your sub folders automatically. But yeah, I would say just get it and know that if for some reason it doesn't work for you can undo the whole thing. And it's not a big financial commitment either.

Kayla B.: My name's Kayla. I'm a communication and speech coach and a solopreneur, and I give Gmail a rating of five out of five. Before using Gmail, I used Yahoo Mail, which was a much messier experience, from a business perspective. And I had a lot of issues with spam, people not receiving my messages, and my business emails weren't perceived or taken as seriously, which is why I made this shift eventually over to Gmail. Gmail was super easy to categorize and label different sections of groups that I have to communicate with. I have a lot of recurring coaching clients that go into specific tabs or labels, so it's very easy to communicate with them very quickly and efficiently. I also find just the user-friendliness of Gmail is much, much easier, and it's very neat. I was very distracted by Yahoo Mail visually, with a lot of the things that would pop up on the screen. And with Gmail, I never get distracted or off-focus. Gmail was very easy to get started with, but it probably wasn't until a couple of years after using Gmail that I realized there were a lot more settings that I could take advantage of. So, after playing a little bit more with some more advanced settings, I was able to take a lot more advantage of more services that Gmail offers. I would recommend watching a couple of YouTube videos about the best recommendations you could do with Gmail for your business and see some of the other hacks that other entrepreneurs have used to make their Gmail much more organized and to create a very professional look within their emails, especially within their signatures. That was very helpful for me.
