Your Telecom Advisor Press Release

(Thought I'd share my latest press release with you.)

(PORT ST. LUCIE, FL) March 29^th, 2008 – It’s easy for home based businesses in today’s global economy to suffer from image issues. Unfortunately for budding entrepreneurs, consumers often equate bigger with better making it difficult for the average solo-preneur to compete with large corporations. However, it is not only possible for a small business owner to present a bigger, better, and more polished image, it is extremely affordable to do so. This can be done simply by exhibiting a more professional phone presence.

Victoria Santiago, founder of “Your Telecom Advisor”, encourages her clients to study their current telephone image as if they were a potential client making contact for information about their company. “I have found that most home based business owners don’t put much thought into the impression their callers receive when they dial their number,” says Santiago. “On top of that, most hate being interrupted by their ringing telephone, and many feel tied to their desks when expecting an important call. These interruptions can wreak havoc on an already tight schedule, and who wants to sit around waiting for the phone to ring, which may or may not happen when you expect it to?”

For those business owners too busy to thoroughly assess their current image and or research new services that could improve their communications, Santiago offers Phone Image Makeovers. Through a series of consultations, she studies her clients’ existing communication services and provides detailed feedback and recommendations for services.

In addition to her popular phone image makeovers, Santiago has prepared a special report entitled ‘How to Sound Like A Fortune 500 Company Without Spending a Fortune’ which is now available as a free download at her website: www.YourTelecomAdvisor.com. This report explains how implementing a VPBX (Virtual Private Branch eXchange) in your business can improve your image while increasing your efficiency.

Article about Virtual PBX’s in PC World

I just came across this article by Kathryn Vercillo of PC World discussing Virtual PBX's and wanted to share it with you. It gives a clear explanation of how these systems work and their benefits to small businesses. Read the article by clicking here: "Virtual PBX Puts a Professional Spin on VoIP".  

 

Victoria Santiago May Speaking Engagements

As I mentioned in a previous post, things have been quite busy for Your Telecom Advisor. To add to the fun, I have been asked to speak at two Virtual Assistant conventions. I am really excited about these so I wanted to share them with you.

For the first one, I'll have the opportunity to travel to Toronto, Canada for the Forum on Virtual Assistance (FoVA) on May 2^nd to the 4^th. FoVA is different from other conventions. The format is more workshop style to encourage maximum participation from attendees. I will be facilitating a discussion entitled: "Using Telephony, Technology and Software to be more productive and professional." I can't wait!

 

 

The second one will be the Online International Virtual Assistants Convention (OIVAC) on May 15^th to the 17^th. This is a huge virtual convention which every Virtual Assistant should attend. I will be speaking about "How To Make Your Home Based Business Sound Like A Fortune 500 Company", a subject near and dear to my heart. The presentation will be recorded and available for playback after the convention.

 

If you are a virtual professional, I hope you can make at least one of these conventions.

Busy… Busy… Busy….

It's been a little while since I've posted. There's been lots going on since I unveiled the Phone Image Makeover.

First, I have a brand new website! Go check it out at www.YourTelecomAdvisor.com. On the home page, I am now offering a free report entitled: "How To Sound Like a Fortune 500 Company Without Spending a Fortune." It's perfect for home based business owners who want to learn more about how to improve their business image using virtual phone systems.

If you are a Virtual Assistant, head over to VA Networking. They are running their WINsday giveaway on March 15 and the prize is a free Phone Image Makeover by yours truly. All you need to do is become a member (which is free) and post at least once between now and the 15^th. I just recently completed a makeover for Tawnya Sutherland, founder of VA Networking, and she was so pleased with the results she wanted to share this resource with the 8,000 people of her network. I am beyond excited about this exposure.

Talking about exposure, I have a couple of speaking engagements coming up in May. I will post them here once they are confirmed. I'm loving this momentum.
