We provide virtual and executive offices. Just some observations I've made from the virtual side of the fence. It's a great tool when correctly used. Sorry took so long to respond, busy day. @Bill…I work in the Executive Office business in the DC Metro Area. We provide virtual and executive offices.

I am wondering where you are from, Taylor... are you a consultant? A virtual office executive? How do you know so much about virtual receptionist services? This is really great advice on working with virtual receptionists. I like what @Taylor has to say on the matter… I am wondering where you are from, Taylor… are you a consultant?

I mean, they seem to really have their marketing down pat and the success is following them. Sounds like it's only a matter of time before they'll be competing with the Davinci Virtuals of the world. But this service seems geared a little more toward the higher end. I'd love to see how the two compare. What a great company.

My only advice to potential clients would be two things. #1. Pick up your phone. The more times that your receptionist can't reach you, the more the illusion that you share an office with them will disappear. It will lead to more questions from the caller that the receptionist can't answer and it will make it look like your business is some sort of call center. #2. Make sure the receptionist has some sort of info on file about your company so they can at least answer basic questions. If a caller can't get answers about what your company does and who runs it, you've got issues. This goes for any type of call patch service. It sounds elementary but these issues come up often with this type of service. Sounds like a great service. My only advice to potential clients would be two things.
