With the World Cup and Ascot Week well underway, I've been speaking to a few people about how they've managed to take time out to watch matches during the day. Most seem to either watch TV over the internet at their desk or sneak off to an event and switch their mobile to voicemail, which is fine for a couple of hours. But, what happens if you and your team want to spend a few days at Wimbledon or Henley Regatta?
Switching the office phone to a mobile phone could backfire if you are in public places, and switching it to voicemail will just frustrate your customers. The other option is to sign up to a Call Handling Service. Some of the automated services are quick and easy to set up - taking a matter of minutes - and cheap at around 99p per call. For that, you will get a real person sounding like they work for you.
If you already have a Virtual PA, then you're ahead of the game, as they can instantly switch in to cover the whole team, deal with enquiries immediately or make a call to your mobile to inform you of urgent messages.
Either way, the virtual service options around today give you the freedom to work in ways that suit you, even if that's going to the races for the day.
