Manage your telephone messages as email

You benefit from a sophisticated routine for handling your email messages. Likely, your email program contains a calendar and so you jump back and forth between your calendar and email. You can tell what you have responded to and can read not only your immediate response but past writings on the same subject.
By contrast, some of your telephone messages are in this pile on your desk, others in that pile, and finally the rest are ... where exactly?
A better approach
Rather than learn (or not learn!) some complex new system, Telephone Message Pad leverages the working system you already have: your email and calendar.
Rather than scraps of paper, your Telephone Messages are delivered to you as email. Immediately, this gives you the option of responding as if the message arrived as email. Of course you would not do this with every message but it is an immediate productivity boost to do email follow up where it makes sense.
If someone calls, asking for a document, doesn't it just make sense to respond with the document attached to their call record?
Easy delegation
You can deal with some of your email by forwarding it to others for follow up. Unlike a paper slip, forwarding an email does not delete your copy. You have a record of the original message and who it was sent to. With a paper slip, all you know is you can't find the message anymore or that you gave it to someone but don't remember who.
Search past records
What do you do with past telephone messages? Do you throw them away? File them in thick client folders already stuffed with other paper? There is a better way. TelephoneMessagePad stores 10 million phone records electronically where they can be searched, even years later.
