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.
