It’s all part of a trend that has seen smaller companies and entrepreneurs successfully slugging it out with bigger, less nimble competitors. With the right kind of infrastructure, a start-up company can compete with a large multinational in terms of speed and availability. A distributed workforce can collaborate across continents and oceans by sharing a virtual network and even holding instant global meetings through Videoconferencing.

In short, being wired-in is a great equalizer: it can put even a one-person operation in the same technology league with any larger competitor.

Once place to find that kind of technology is at OfficeLinks’ 21^st Century shared offices facility, in the Willis Tower. Few workers at huge corporations or even at vaunted high-tech firms enjoy access to this level of technology and business support.

How do you leverage high-tech solutions to get to that level of competitiveness?  In upcoming blogs we’ll explore how some of today’s smartest business people are making it happen.

If you want to stay competitive while using a virtual office, professionalism must remain a focus in the forefront. Employees should be able to send an mail from a prime professional business address and there should be a phone number available to customers/clients and employees with a professional voice answering the phone. Your business could have live call answering during business hours, access to a day office and even a fully-equipped space for meetings. A professional front face is key. Remember an old rule of thumb; a good impression is a lasting one…a bad one lasts even longer.
