| IMPACT Virtual Services Newsletter | Social Media and Business News
July 2013
| |
 Welcome to mid-summer! Just like every year, it seems to be flying by in a frenzy. The articles this month are written for those afflicted with procrastination and lack of time...both things that seem to be really prominent in the summer! If you're like me and live in Wisconsin, you get 3, maybe 4, months of nice weather so I pack in as much outdoor fun in that time as I possibly can! These articles help get me back on track...they remind me to use my Virtual Assistant and to NOT procrastinate, no matter how much I want to get out on the golf course and put off finishing up some tasks later! I hope you all find some useful tips in this month's newsletter too. 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!

A Gentle Reminder To Work Smart
Why a VA Is a Huge Benefit To Your Business
Last month I had published some reminders on the endless benefits of hiring Virtual Assistants (VAs). If you haven't been sold  just yet, here are a few more!
VAs really can make life so much easier; whether it's for a small business, large business, or just to alleviate stress in your personal life. Check out a few more helpful pointers that might just sway your decision.
Especially on days like today, when its 80 degrees and you want to get out for that hike at the lake, motorcycle ride, or even simply, a long walk with the dog.
Here are some simple reminders on the many benefits to hiring a VA and how they can help your business grow and prosper.

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 August 30 and receive
1/2 off the initial set up fee
AND 1/2 off your first month of service!

Here's one for you - did you start reading this blog and then stop to check your Facebook news feed? Right there is a prime example of procrastination.
Ok, you're guilty...now what?
