If your team is drowning in project emails, frantically searching through threads for client answers, and watching designers become bottlenecks because all project knowledge lives in their inbox—you're not alone.
Most design businesses assume the solution is better email management. Inbox zero strategies. Filters and folders. Maybe new email software.
But one cabinet dealer discovered something different: reducing email by 30% had nothing to do with email software and everything to do with rethinking how information flows through their business.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why email overload is a symptom of misaligned systems, not an inbox management problem
- The communication bottleneck pattern that traps designers and frustrates clients
- How redirecting internal communication to project management systems naturally cuts email volume
- What email actually does well (external communication, documenting decisions) versus what it doesn't (project coordination, status updates, collaborative work)
- Why file links eliminate version control chaos better than email attachments ever could
The transformation didn't happen because they found better email software. It happened because they recognized that project updates, file sharing, and status information belong in systems designed for those functions—not scattered across individual inboxes.
When clients called for updates, whoever answered the phone could provide accurate information. The designer was no longer the sole keeper of project knowledge. Client service transformed from a single point of failure into a team capability.
