ReadNotify to Confirm E-mail Receipt

As a Virtual Assistant I sometimes run into issues with clients and colleagues who claim to have not received an invoice or an e-mail I had sent. After several instances of this, I began using a service called ReadNotify.

ReadNotify is a chep and affordable service ($24-$36 per year). More than once it has been a resource to prove that e-mails were indeed received. Sometimes this can be offensive to the client, but my experience is that the clients that are getting upset are the ones who are indeed receiving my e-mails, sometimes multiple times, and simply ignoring them.

Here are some of the features of ReadNotify. They tell you:

• date/time your e-mail was been opened
• how long the e-mail was open or read
• tracks and forwarding of your e-mail
  
• notes if attachments web URLs were opened
