Personalized Palm Beach Gardens Virtual Office

Finding the right virtual office can be very difficult. There is a lot more that
goes into the planning of a quality virtual office than just comparing prices
and hoping to find quality services. This has led many business owners to
desire a personal approach to their business needs and the services that 
they require from the virtual office they choose. Unfortunately, not many 
companies are able to do this and, if they do, it is likely going to be a very 
large expense that makes leasing a physical office more appealing.


Thankfully, when you use Intelligent Office, you can be sure that your 
office is customized to your needs from the start. To begin using a virtual
office in Palm Beach Gardens, you will need to meet with the consultant
of the Intelligent Office location in Palm Beach Gardens. From here you 
will discuss your personality, your business and your expectations with
the consultant and, together, you will formulate a plan.Additionally, after
you have your virtual office setup through Intelligent Office, if you decide
that you need a more customized approach you can simply purchase 
additional services. 


Unlike other virtual offices, you will be able to choose
from a long list of services that include notarization, customized reception
and even customer service (for your customers). This means that even when
you are not able to personally take a call and field customer inquiries, you
can be sure that they will be handled appropriately by someone who takes
an interest in bettering your business.

An Intelligent Office Receptionist Makes Sense

Here is a quick summary of why using the Intelligent Office Receptionist service may be perfect for your business whether a white collar professional, a blue collar service provider, a multi-national corporation or a “solopreneur”:
  1. Work “on your business” instead of “in your business,” which means working at getting new clients and/or serving existing clients, instead of answering your phone.
  2. Capture the new lead, by avoiding the lead finding voice-mail.
  3. Improve your firm’s or business’ image by having a professional receptionist answer your calls live, instead of the caller finding the “owner” answering his or her own phone, or running into a frustrating voice-mail system.
  4. Lower your overhead – stop paying a full-time employee to answer your phone, even when it is not ringing.
  5. Increase efficiency and effectiveness by allowing your high-value secretary, administrative assistant or associate professional staff to do the high value work they were hired to do, instead of answering your telephone calls.

Virtual Office solution Palm Beach Gardens

Palm Beach Gardens has a lot to offer the business owner. There are great laws that work to the advantage of the owner as well as a wide customer base at a large hub. This means that you can reach many people, tourists and locals alike, from one location. Additionally, you will be able to entertain clients in a more than amazing manner with the availability of fine dining and other activities.

Many companies operate in a single city. However, in recent years it has become obvious that in order to succeed in the way many people want to, they need to be able to accommodate more clients by having multiple offices. This can become problematic for many companies as the overhead can quickly become uncontrollable and the company will drown.

Thankfully, there is a way around this situation. By taking advantage of a virtual office, you can not only operate in several cities at once, but you can do so all at the same time. This is possible because you will be afforded many of the same amenities that are included in fully furnished offices and calls, messages and even mail can be forwarded to you in another location.

Also, if you require the use of an office to have meetings or work on particular projects, either in your home city or another, you can easily rent out a physical space for those occasions. Even when you have to rent out an office space several times per year, you can expect to pay exponentially less for your virtual offices than you would for even one or two physical offices in the same cities.

Using a Virtual Office and Virtual Assistant to Minimize Your Office Overhead

Using a Virtual Office and Virtual Assistant to Minimize Your Office Overhead

Minimizing overhead for a small business is critical to its viability and success.
For most businesses the primary need for professional office space is for client
meetings. Ask yourself how many hours a week do your clients come to your
office. A virtual office provides an affordable and professional alternative to
renting traditional office space. Renting cheap office space doesn’t give your
business a professional image and renting traditional office space in a good
location often costs more than it’s worth. Here are a few of the cost-saving
benefits of virtual offices compared to leasing traditional office space.

Traditional Office Lease
Usually locked in to a long-term
commitment for multiple years.
You pay for all the space regardless
of your use.
Requires your own technology such
as phone systems and security.
Requires the expense to staff the
office or lock when you’re gone.
Requires the purchase of furniture
such as desks, chairs and conference
tables.
Requires insurance to cover your
office furniture and technology.



Virtual Office Lease
Office rentals are available hourly,
daily, or monthly.
You only pay for the space you need,
when you need to use it.
Use of phone systems and other
technology included.
A virtual office is staffed by a shared
employee, even when your away
from the office.
A virtual office provides furnished
offices and conference rooms.
Office furniture in a shared office is
covered by the company.

Keys to a professional image is promoting a physical location....part 2

The second key to a professional image is promoting a physical location.

You don’t have to spend any time in your virtual office location, but it’s important to advertise the fact that you have a physical office to make your business seem more established and reliable. Leading virtual office companies are located in Class “A” commercial office buildings with prestigious addresses. This address becomes your business address. As a virtual office client, your “office” is staffed and represented professionally during business hours. Your clients will always be greeted even when you are not there.

The third key to a professional image is the ability to send and receive mail and faxes without using a PO Box or a public fax machine. A full-service virtual office company helps you avoid unwanted trips to the office to pick up your mail or faxes, by forwarding mail and faxes to the address of your choice. You should also choose a virtual office company that includes a locked, private mailbox that you can access 24/7. When you’re traveling, make sure your virtual assistant is able to monitor and forward mail to you anywhere in the world. Many virtual office companies provide postal services including mailboxes, package receiving, shipping, express delivery and other postal conveniences.

The fourth key to a professional image is meeting clients in a professional setting. Coffee shops and restaurants aren’t professional places to conduct business and they are full of potential distractions. Choose a virtual office company with a prestigious business address in an established Class “A” commercial building. Make sure your virtual office company also provides professionally designed and furnished offices, conference rooms and reception areas staffed with knowledgeable, friendly people. Make certain your virtual office has an appropriate sized conference room, beautifully appointed and equipped to make you and your business shine.

If you work from home, a virtual office is also great way to protect your privacy so you don’t have to invite clients to your house or give away your home address. Make sure you find a shared office solution that is available a la carte, so you pay only for what office space and virtual office services you use.
