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.

Introducing: The Phone Image Makeover

On Monday I finally launched my brand new service – The Phone Image Makeover – and with it a brand new website. Check it out at Your Telecom Advisor.Com . I am really excited to finally be able to work one-on-one with home based business owners and help them enhance their phone image and implement the most cost effective phone systems for their businesses.

This blog will continue to be the vehicle with which I intend to share information about the most innovative technologies for micro-businesses. Stick around. There's lots more to come. And if you have any suggestions on what content you would like to see here please leave me a comment below.

Praise for the Total Phone Image Makeover. Yeay!

On a previous post I wrote about my new, innovative service - the Total Phone Image Makeover - which I'm preparing to officially launch on January 7^th, 2008. While I've been getting ready for the launch I offered a select group of people a limited number of Pre-Launch Makeovers to test their response. So far, I've been blown away by how positively it's been received. Following are some of their remarks:

"As someone who has had an extreme telephone "make over" session and report, I must say that what Victoria offers is extremely impressive. If you are interested in maximizing your marketing efforts with these cool, low cost offerings, you will not be disappointed." Becki Noles – VA Training

"Just wanted to say a quick thank you for my "makeover"!! The session was very thorough, and I love the customized report and recommendations. I really think this will help me simplify some of my communications issues! I enjoy doing research, but I don't always have time to research things for my own business. This was great to have someone do the work for me, and it was an added plus that you've actually tried out the services to see how they work! Thanks again!!" - Julie Ensor – Panacea Concepts

"Another vote for Victoria here! She is so easy to work with and very patient especially if you are like me and ask a lot of questions. I cannot thank you enough for all of your help Victoria." - Yamisi Daniel - InTouch Virtual Assistance

I was even blogged about! Maureen Kerr, a Marketing Consultant in PEI, Canada raved about her makeover in her blog. Click here to read her post.

Later this week I will give you more details about this service. However, if you can't wait, click on this page and fill out the contact form. I will contact you as soon as possible.

Coming Soon: The Total Phone Image Makeover

Sshh, It's a Secret!

As a thank you for being a reader of the Home Office Telephony Blog I want to let you in on a cool new service I am about to launch on January 7^th, 2008. I am calling it the "Total Phone Image Makeover" and it is the only service of its kind geared towards home based businesses and solo-preneurs.

One of the things you probably left behind when you exited corporate America and became your own boss was the convenience of having a dedicated IT person or Telecom specialist who knew which communications services were best for your employer and took care of installing and monitoring those services. As a business owner it is now up to you to make the right telecom choices for your business.

The thing is, unless you have a technical background or have spent countless hours on the internet doing research, the multitude of choices can make your head spin. Most home based business owners just give up and end up using their home phone number or cell phone by default thinking that this saves them money and keeps them sufficiently connected.

If this is you, Think Again! We live in a highly competitive world and often times it is those business that are able to project a polished, trustworthy and professional image that are the ones that thrive and get all the clients – regardless of the quality of their work. These days it's not enough to have a snazzy website, or a great looking business card. Your phone image – the impression people get when they call your business number - plays just as big a role.

From now until January 7^th I will post more information about this great new service and what it can do for you. Stay tuned!
