Using Virtual Office Solutions

Jim — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:23:05 +0000

Economic times are tight for many businesses these days. Many small businesses cannot keep up with the costs of renting a brick and mortar office and paying the salaries of a secretarial staff. Unfortunately, there is still a real need for to have a live human on hand to answer the corporate phone, and for closely related clerical work. In the face of these issues, many businesses are turning to a virtual office solution to meet their needs.

One of the best ways to save money while maintaining an adequate level of service is to use a live virtual receptionist as a professional, pleasant point of human contact for your customers. Reputable virtual offices limit the number of businesses each receptionist takes calls for, so customer service will always be available in a timely manner. If customers must be briefly placed on hold, they will hear soothing music instead of being left to cool their heels in a blank silence. A quality virtual assistant will screen, prioritize and forward your calls by the criteria you set, so your highest priority calls can always be forwarded to you immediately.

In addition to the human touch of a live phone answering service, virtual assistants can forward both faxes and voicemails to your email inbox, where you can deal with them at your convenience. A virtual office solution can help manage your calendar and schedule your appointments. A live virtual receptionist may make calls for you as well as receive them reminding your contacts to keep their appointments and helping you finds new customers.

Serviced Offices for Your Business

Jim — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:30:10 +0000

A serviced office is an office that is at another location but allows the users of this service to limit the need for traditional office costs but still maintaining a professional business image. The serviced office works well for small businesses that are looking for a short-term office space solution or for a business looking for a flexible lease. In addition, serviced offices also work well for businesses that are growing quickly, branch offices for larger companies, foreign companies and other businesses looking for short-term business solutions.

There are many reasons why some businesses find a serviced office beneficial such as: an increase in employees, a business growing unpredictably, relocation is needed soon, wasted space in a current location, the need for a more professional looking office and not having enough money to rent a conventional office.

There are many benefits in obtaining a virtual office such as: they are ready to use quickly, flexible leases, little worry about managing the serviced office, flexibility, internal branding and no maintenance of equipment and furniture.

In addition, there are several types of serviced offices such as long-term offices. Long-term offices have 1-2 person executive suites and large open-plan offices that can easily take care of 6-9 people. And, all offices are modular. There are also short- term offices. Short-term offices are offices that are used 1-3 months, are fully furnished and are often available to customers any time they need the space. The branch/ representative offices are used by new businesses and need business services quickly, along with a qualified, professional team. Other types of serviced offices are Start-up offices, Project offices, Team room offices, Disaster Recovery offices and Day use offices.

Four Steps to Make Advertising More Effective

Jim — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 13:50:35 +0000

Testing and measuring the results of your advertising and marketing efforts can increase your profit and enable you to identify what works and what doesn’t. Brad Sugars suggests useful steps to help you make the most of your advertising efforts:

Follow the TOC formula: Target, Offer and Copy are the three elements that build the foundation of a strong advertisement. If you know your target market, your advertisement should be placed where your potential customers will see it. First thing you need to do is figure out your target market to determine the viability of your business. If there is no market, your business is not viable. Include a specific offer when writing your headline. You can search online to find out how online marketers do it. Your headline should prompt your potential customers to call you. Start with test adverts which could be in the form of classified, small space or online advertisements via Google. Such a test is an easy and inexpensive way to evaluate whether your product or service is offered to the target customers.

If you are targeting the right market with a decent offer and a clear call to action, you should generate some response. Examine what you can do to boost the response, modify your adverts and retest it. If your adverts don’t generate any response, just scrap them and move on. Once you find something that works you can expand. If it is a small classified advert, try a bigger display advertisement.

The Importance of Schedules and How to Keep Them

Jim — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 13:51:27 +0000

As a business entrepreneur – particularly when starting a new venture – you need to adjust ways of working and maintain schedules that work best for you. If you are an entrepreneur, balancing various tasks – an office, a home and a family – you might end up making an unplanned commitment with your scheduled tasks. Some proven ways to make schedules work for you are:

Stick to one task/project on a particular day.

Block off certain times of the day for completing parts of any large task.
If your business requires meeting clients – pick one or two days of the week to fix a client meeting schedule and focus only on clients appointments.
Consider mixing other important family tasks with your office work schedule (a school pick-up or drop-off, doctor visit or a grocery pick-up etc).
You may have a relation building day if someone wants to schedule a lunch or coffee.
If you write articles or blogs choose most relaxing or quiet times for your writing activities.

Sometimes you may need to plan your work schedule around someone else’s schedule. Planning work schedules and keeping them can certainly help you complete different projects smoothly.
