When business slows down, you need to act fast to conserve your capital while you wait out the cycle. Today, millions of business people are saving big money by closing their expensive offices and working from their home office. Like most things, there is a right way and a wrong way to do this.
The wrong way is to move your office phones into your house and answer the phones yourself. First of all, you will still be paying the phone company for your business phone and fax numbers. Next, by answering all calls yourself, you are loading yourself up with all of the work that used to be performed by your staff. Finally, when you are not in your home office, you will lose calls. Yes, they may go to voice mail, but nobody calls your business to leave a message. They call to talk with someone. And if you are not available, even if they do leave a message, they will probably call a competitor who does answer the phone.
So what is the Right Way? First, find a Virtual Office service provider who will let you transfer your phone and fax numbers to them. You will probably save hundreds of dollars every month, because you will not have to pay the phone company anymore.
Ask your Virtual Office provider to set up a virtual Auto Attendant, using your phone number. Callers will hear your custom menu, something like: "Thank you for calling The Mortgage Brokers. If you know the extension of the person you are calling, you may enter it at any time or press 9 for the Dial by Name Directory. For information on a new mortgage, or to refinance your existing mortgage, press 1. If you are calling to check the status of your mortgage application, press 2. For our address, fax number and hours of operation, press 3. All other callers, press 4."
Calls are transferred to you and your staff, live, wherever you are, at your home office or cell phone, just as if you were in the office. You should also have features such as Station to Station Transfer, that allows you to transfer a call to someone else in your company, with just a couple of keystrokes.
When you do not take a call, voice mail will take your messages. You can listen to your messages by phone. Voice mail will also deliver the messages to you by email, so you can listen to your messages over your computer or any Internet devise. This also gives you a permanent record of each message.
Your Virtual Office will also receive and deliver your faxes to your email. The cost of Fax to Email is so low, that you should give everyone their own private fax number.
A complete Virtual Office, including extensions, call transfer and fax to email is as little as $19.95mo yet, you will sound like a professional, quality and trustworthy business and no one will know that you are actually working from that extra bedroom. You will save money and will probably sound even more professional then when you were working in an office.

American Voice Mail owns one of the world's largest telephone number networks with local virtual office telephone numbers and services in 40 countries worldwide.
Every morning as people wake up and make the commute to work, many dream of the day when they will finally work for themselves. Every time the boss lets someone know that they must give up their weekend plans for the good of the company, people contemplate the benefits of being the owner of their own business.
Are you one of these people?
If you are, it is important to ask yourself some very important questions before you make the uncertain leap into self-employment.
Many dream of the benefits of home business ownership, but few take into account the sacrifices that must be made to bring the dream to fruition. Please don`t make this mistake yourself.
You must approach home business ownership with your eyes wide open. Ask yourself the important questions, and more importantly, answer your own questions openly and honestly.
AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION
Are you the type of person who relishes every chance to gather around the water cooler for social interaction?
If so, then home business ownership may not be the right decision for you.
Instead, if you feel that you can be quite content sitting alone at your desk; speaking only to clients and really minding your own home business, then you might have what it takes to succeed as a home business entrepreneur.
If you feel at ease with your own company and don`t need a dozen coworkers milling around your desk, then you, too, could savor the freedoms that will allow you and your family, to live the lifestyle you know you want and deserve.
THE KEY TO HOME BUSINESS SUCCESS
Self-motivation is the key to success when you start a home-based business. You need to possess the ability to push yourself ahead. Your drive and determination will be reinforced with every new sale.
The level of success that you will achieve greatly depends on the time and effort you are willing to plow into your new home business. Your organization, planning and marketing skills, will all be put into practice when you embark on your liberating journey from employee, to being your own boss. In fact, you will be the wearer of many hats and gain a wealth of business experience along the way, when you finally make that commitment to work at home.
YOUR SUCCESS RESTS ENTIRELY UPON YOUR OWN SHOULDERS
You will now be the boss. Are you truly able to work independently? Do you have the drive; the tenacity, to persevere with your home based business? Will you be able to invest the necessary time to nurture it, to watch it grow and see it through, from germination to full, glorious bloom? When you`re the boss, you are responsible for the success of your home business, from A to Z, from disappointments to victory.
When you work at home, it will empower you to achieve many things you were unable to do when you were stuck working for that tyrant boss. Remember him? He`s the guy that wouldn`t let you take time off when your baby was sick...the same guy that called you in to work on a public holiday.
A home business means that you can take good care of your family and make money from home, simultaneously. You will have the best of both worlds! Just think--no more dirty laundry piling up--you can do it while you work. No more scurrying around at the last minute searching for a babysitter either. And no more worrying about getting fired; you`ll be the boss!
IN CONCLUSION...
Stay positive and focused on your home based business, even if, when sales aren`t up to par, you get occasional negative remarks or derogatory comments from people with stuffy, dead-end jobs. Ignore their cutting words and bear in mind that success is the best revenge! Keep your admirable, positive attitude at the forefront and show them what you`re made of!
