| IMPACT Virtual Services Newsletter | Social Media and Business News
May 2013

 After much, MUCH waiting it seems that spring has finally hit, and summer is just around the corner! IMPACT continues to grow, and is adding two more people to the team at the end of the month (keep an eye out on future newsletters to meet our new team members!). This issue is a great reason why businesses and non profits continue to hire IMPACT...they want to concentrate on their core business activity, and leave the support and administrative tasks to us! Not only that, but with summer comes vacation for a lot of you. And if you haven't had a vacation in years (we hear this all the time from our clients!), then NOW is the time! There are so many reasons why we all need a break...better productivity, re-connection with friends and family, and just a mental break from the craziness of work. Trust me, the data is out there to support this :) So do yourself a favor, delegate some tasks and enjoy a break! About the NewsletterAs always, the team at IMPACT is contributing to the monthly newsletter and sharing their expertise and tips, and we hope you enjoy the information! We aim to provide you the most relevant and informative newsletter on Social Media and business trends. Have a suggestion or feedback? It is always welcome, and we want to hear from you!

When Will It Be Time To Go "Home?"
Facebook's New Creation: Home
Who has taken the Facebook Home plunge since its grand induction into the Android  device reality on April 12th?
If you're asking yourself what exactly Facebook Home is, look no further. It's basically the next wave of technology to make your lock screen a giant scrolling newsfeed from your favorite social media site, Facebook.
Messages, IM chat, videos, pictures, and the latest and greatest news posts can all be found at the touch of your home screen.

Missed Calls Means Missed Business
Give Your Clients and Potential Customers the Service They Deserve
You need full time phone coverage. After all, you have no idea when the calls will come in during business hours. You can't very well tell your potential customers to check your calendar and only call when you're free. And how many of those potential customers are available when you call back? They call you when it's convenient for them; unfortunately, it is not the other way around.
So what does a full time receptionist cost to you?
Minimum wage: $10.00
40 hours/week: $400/week
Per month: $1,600
**This doesn't include employer taxes, unemployment, benefits, and payroll expenses! And what about the technology, phone, desk, and office space you need to pay for?
Calls On Call provides full time receptionist coverage for a fraction of the cost!!! PLUS, it's in our office, where the set up is already done!
Packages start at just $500/month!
Summer Special Sign a contract with Calls On Call
by June 30 and receive
1/2 off the initial set up fee
AND 1/2 off your first month of service!
Contact us to see if Calls On Call can make a difference in your business.

Who's Ready To Unload Some Tasks For Summer?
Delegate Some Tasks and Enjoy Your Summer!
Recently, I posted a (3) part series on deciding whether a Virtual Assistant (VA) was the best choice for your personal life or small business.
I thought I would follow-up to this series and further emphasize some other activities which Virtual Assistants are very helpful with.
 It's the big Q2 for most of us, and we're heading into the nicest part of the year, summer! Hiring a VA might free up some summer time which could be better spent on family activities or just making time for you!

Featured Client Of the Month:
Doc Jams Printer Repair
Each month we will highlight one of our clients to show stories of success, local products you will love, or just a unique service you may not know about!
This month we are featuring Doc Jams Printer Repair!
Doc Jams Printer Repair, Toner & Supplies is a full service office machine specialist. From bringing in innovative ways to avoid paying for high priced contracts to utilizing ways to reduce paper usage, Doc Jams continues to be the choice for companies that want it all: less down time and great service for their office equipment. All of this without a high priced contract. Doc Jams keeps getting you back to printing!
How They Partner With Impact
Doc Jams Printer Repair needed a solution to a customer service problem. Impact Virtual Services was there to cater a plan which quickly became a perfect solution. Now after a service call is done by Doc Jams a neutral third party from Impact Virtual Services makes a follow up call to verify the Doc Jams customer is extremely satisfied.
On top of this Impact supplies a spreadsheet detailing any comments or issues that need attending to by Doc Jams. This allows Doc Jams to keep getting people back to printing, and Doc Jams' customers continuing to want us to keep getting them back to printing. It truly is a beautiful thing that Impact has done for Doc Jams.
