First impressions are crucial to our business and personal relationships! Your client’s impression of your company forms the moment they arrive at your office before you even have a chance to shake their hand or hand them a business card. Details such as the neighborhood in which your business is located, the aesthetic and architecture of the building, and the staff experience can all be directly connected to earning new clients and bolstering existing business relationships.

Over the past year and a half, almost everyone has been forced to create new routines in their personal and professional lives. We are all adapting to the ever-changing realities of the world, but that doesn't need to stop us from getting things done. As you continue to build your career, network, and skillset during these uncertain times, a Virtual Office plan could be a great option for you. Here are a few ways a Virtual Office can provide you with a low-risk, high-reward solution for staying productive.

Over the past year,  we have all had to adjust our routines and our mindsets, in both our personal and professional lives. In this new and constantly evolving landscape, it pays off to be flexible and open-minded. Luckily for you, AdvantEdge has over 30 years of experience in helping DC-area businesses manage transitions without a hitch!

Last year, many people were suddenly thrown into the position of teleworking. While some have done it for years, for the majority of workers this was a completely new experience full of adjustments and sacrifices. Whether you are a teleworking pro or are still not convinced you can do it full-time, we are breaking down why you need the support and services of a shared workspace.

Teleworking provides you with the flexibility you need throughout the workday. But what about those office amenities, like a receptionist and a professional mailing address? Enter a shared workspace, where you can have a business phone number and address. With the latest technology, client services coordinators at AdvantEdge Workspaces can answer calls with a personalized message and route callers accordingly. With someone always around to receive packages, you can swing by when it works for you. Teleworking services can help you take back personal space from your home.

Virtual events come with their own unique set of challenges. Planning one online is a very different experience from executing one in-person. Right now, meetings are still essential, and if you can’t put off holding it in-person any longer, going virtual is the right solution. How can you ensure that your event will have people ready to turn on their cameras and mics to participate? Follow the tips below to set yourself up for success!

Be Prepared with the Right Space

Even though your event is all online, the physical space that you are in still matters. Utilizing a serviced workspace can help you focus on what truly matters and leaves elements like the set-up to experienced staff members. You will have a professional backdrop for the event while having crisp audio and video. Renting a meeting room to get on a video call may seem counterintuitive, but it can be what takes your event experience to the next level.
