And many have successfully done this, learning how technology and software programs can allow you to run a virtual team.

How to stay motivated while working from home (especially during COVID-19)

Top tips for those who may be new to this concept

The concept of working from home isn’t new to me. I’ve been running virtual reception services for a few years now, so I’m used to the daily grind of the home office. Let me tell you that the commute down the hallway can be a bit rough some days.

With the recent crisis of COVID-19, many businesses have been forced to look at new ways of doing things.

The benefits of having a virtual receptionist for your online store

It’s great for customer relations!

The past couple of months has seen the world rapidly changing. Cities and shopping centres have gone from buzzing hives to activity to deserted ghost towns. We’ve all had to adapt to a new way of life, and it’s fair to say, we may continue how we’re going for some time to come.

As we embrace this social distancing and the Government asking us to stay home, most of us are doing what we’re told and not popping out to go shopping for personal items. This has led to a rise in online shopping, and more brick and mortar stores are adapting to see how they can sell goods online.

How I’ve been keeping busy during COVID-19

They say a change is as good as a holiday. And a holiday is something most of us are hanging for right now as we’re going a little stir crazy being trapped at home almost 24/7. Dreaming of far off lands, 4WD adventures, sunny beaches, cocktails in pools overlooking stunning landscapes ...

Because a holiday is out of the question, I thought, ‘Hey, why not rebrand Off-Site Reception while I have some time?’. Let’s show the world what our team is capable of.

Phone answering and administration for Chiropractors

Do you need some admin help for your Chiropractic business? Outsource your paperwork and reception to a virtual team.

Running your own Chiropractic business can be tiring, especially if you’re not working within a practice group and managing it all by yourself.

While you’re consulting with a patient, you risk missing phone calls and booking in patients to fill your books. And when you do have a full day booked, you fall behind on billing your patients, updating records and sending letters back to GPs and the like.

If you’re running your business from home, or even if you’ve rented an office, you may find it hard to justify having a full-time receptionist/administration assistant. You don’t have the office space, and you don’t want all the hassles that come with having an employee on your books.
