Fourth Quarter Success
What's Your Plan?
Is it really that time already? The fall colors are coming into full bloom, football fills the television screen every Sunday (preferably  Green Bay), evenings are brisk, chili is stewing in the crock pot, and the business year is soon coming to a close. Once Labor Day comes and goes, you know you need to ramp it up and knock your quotas out of the park.
Hopefully fourth quarter will be your busiest and most successful one thus far. It doesn't matter which key area makes your business flourish (new sales, mass production, promotional items, or new product lines); what truly matters is that you are prepared for fourth quarter success.
How can you make this happen? Let me give you a few suggestions.

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.
Calls On Call provides full time receptionist coverage for a fraction of the cost of a full time employee!!! PLUS, it's in our office, so no overhead for you!
Packages start at just $575/month for a full-time receptionist!
Introducing Outbound Call Services!

How Will You Get Your Message Across?
Taking a Look At Phone Messaging Apps
Today there seems to be so many phone apps that it's almost impossible to get them all straight. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+, games in general, food networks, music channels, and the list goes on and on.
 I should also clarify that when I talk about apps here, I am not referencing finger food, but rather downloaded software applications for smart phones!
Specifically, I'd like to focus on a discussion surrounding the messaging applications. What are considered the best and why?

Featured Client Of the Month:
Madison Committee on Foreign Relations (MCFR)
Each newsletter we will highlight one of our clients to show stories of success, local products you will love, amazing Non-Profit organizations doing great things, or just a unique service you may not know about! This month we are featuring MCFR, a non-profit organization located in Madison, WI!
Who They Are
The Madison Committee on Foreign Relations is a non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to discussion of important foreign policy issues affecting our nation and the world.
Nine times each year they host an event featuring an expert speaker on a foreign policy topic. Following the presentation, there is Q&A and the opportunity for extended discussion. Before the presentation, there is a cash bar and snacks, so members can get to know each other.
To learn more about MCFR, please go to our website at MCFR.info. Upcoming events focus on Russia and Ukraine (September 22) and China (October 16). You are invited to "try out" MCFR by attending an event for $20 (credited towards your membership if you join).
"Impact Virtual Services has been responsive to the needs of our growing non-profit, helping us streamline our membership/event administration as we transitioned from all-volunteer operations."
How They Partner With Impact
MCFR is run by a volunteer Board of Directors, so they really appreciate the assistance that Jodi and Impact Virtual Services provides. Jodi helps us by:
- Maintaining our website and database
- Sending out membership renewal and event notices to our members
- Developing attendance lists for our events
Impact has saved them many volunteer hours and has helped ensure that their administrative functions are carried out promptly and well.
