Did they even read my email?

PoliteMail was invented to answer this question (because we didn’t like those rude read receipts either).

Email remains the primary corporate communications tool, and Microsoft Outlook and Exchange are the defacto standards for enterprise email. There is a reason why every external social media platform, every internal platform including Sharepoint and Teams all leverage email loops to bring people back in. People read and respond to email, and email is the simplest way to distribute messages and provide access to digital documents and content pages.

One downside of easy email distribution is communication overload, and the solution for email overload is email intelligence.

By providing better data about how personnel are interacting with the messages, communicators can better tune and target those communications programs. Beyond simply counting opens and clicks, PoliteMail provides attention, readership and engagement metrics over time, with comparative results to both internal and industry benchmarks, to help communications team improve. With creative content management tools and self-service list management tools, PoliteMail helps corporate communicators deliver just the right level of news, executive leadership, and process and policy information which boosts employee productivity.

From humble beginnings in 2006 building sales and marketing tools into Outlook, to a specialized focus on internal communications in 2012, PoliteMail rapidly expanded and made the Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies list in 2018, both the Deloitte Fast500 and Inc5000 in 2019, and the Inc 5000 for a third time in 2020.

Today the company serves 15% of the Fortune 100, 21% of the world’s top 100 largest employers, plus numerous organizations with 1,000 to 300,000 employees worldwide.
