Listen up contractors. Your competitors may be winning customers that you aren\u2019t reaching through the use of technologies and outsourced services.<\/p>\n
Indeed, electricians, plumbers, roofers, pool cleaners, painters, and other individual service contractors who are using virtual offices<\/a> are able to better\u00a0manage their office work flow and boost their professional image to their customer base.<\/p>\n How can virtual office services<\/a> help you present your best business face?<\/p>\n Consider the inconvenience\u2014and even danger\u2014of trying to answer the phone while working on a high ladder or under a sink. Or what about the painter trying to grab his cell phone with a spackling tool in one hand and paint all over the other? It’s a mess in the making.<\/p>\n Also, consider the image you give off when you use your home address or a P.O. Box on your business card. And what about the business you lose by mismanaging the administrative work? Get the picture?<\/p>\n With a virtual office<\/a>, you can opt for virtual receptionist<\/a> services that answer your calls professionally, schedule appointments, and take personal messages across a wide range of business hours.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also get a business phone<\/a> number with a pre-recorded message and premium call forwarding included. Voicemail converts seamlessly to email. Oh, and let\u2019s not forget the corporate mailing address that keeps your home life private.<\/p>\n Of all the industries that could benefit from a virtual office<\/a>, independent contractors is one of the strongest matches. And with live receptionist services starting from as little as $125 per month, or a business mailing address starting from just $39 per month, it’s an easy expensive to justify if you are trying to spruce up your business image<\/a> and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Listen up contractors.
