Should you have a local phone number?

Is there clout in having a local area code? You bet. With a local area code and phone number, people know they’re supporting their community, supporting a local business and not getting routed to a call center in some far-off country. Now, more than ever, people are supporting small businesses – knowing it was the little guys were the hardest hit by COVID.

Attention small business owners, anyone thinking of starting a business, or anyone who’s found themselves working from home since the start of the pandemic. If you struggle to find peace and quiet or you need a change of scenery in order to buckle down and get productive, a part-time office can be a refuge, a retreat… your salvation.

“You’re on mute.”
“Can you hear me?”
“Sorry, you’re breaking up a little.”
“Let me send you my sketch. I’ll just take a picture… email it…”
“Mommy? Mommy?”
“Not now, honey… Mommy’s on a call.”
“No, that’s not the right version. I sent you another email at 9:43 this morning.”
“My VPN won’t connect.”

Ready to grow your business and take the next step? Here are five good reasons to get a Virtual Office: 

Small business owners often start from a garage, basement, or home office and then expand as their business grows. Which means they’re using their home as their business address. This may seem like a good way to cut costs, but at what risk? 

When COVID-19 was classified as a pandemic in March of 2020, many companies (large and small!) asked co-workers to work from home. “Oh, it will be a week, tops!” we all said, jokingly. We left coffee cups in cubicles, we forgot headsets, mouse pads and desk calendars. Now it’s more than a year later and many are still working from home.

Working from home is one person’s dream, and another person’s nightmare.

Some people feed off the energy of others… being able to grab a cup of coffee and bounce ideas around. And some people just want a door they can close and some time to focus without kids underfoot or the dog barking. The answer? Coworking. Flexible office space that’s there when you need it – and isn’t costing you a fortune when you don’t.

Here’s what we’ve heard:
