When you own a business, you have to figure out where your headquarters will be located. One of the very best options for any up and coming business is to rent a virtual office. This is an affordable option for businesses that want a professional image but cannot afford a traditional office space. However, with this option you will also have to figure out how you can turn your virtual office connections into real live customers. Some tips that will help you do just that are highlighted here.
Create Events Outside of Your Virtual Office
If you are trying to ensure a personal connection is present with an online business contact, then you need to host a number of “out of the office” events. These will allow you to meet face to face with existing and potential customers. As you show that you are a real person, they will become more trusting of what you have to offer and more willing to make a purchase.
Harness the Power of the Telephone
Another extremely effective way for you to create a more personal relationship with your business connections is for you to call them on the phone. This is the ideal option if you are unable to plan a meeting or event, but still want to have a personal connection. You need to ensure that when you do contact your connection that you do not seem overly “salesy”. This may actually hurt your chances of getting a new customer. You just need to let them know what you are offering, the cost and benefits that it offers. The more information you are able to provide, the more willing they will likely be to conduct business with you outside of your virtual office.
