Jet Blue Case StudyThis US airlines employs 1000 people working from home or on the move, taking more than 10 million calls a year. Since moving away from call centers, management noticed a 25 percent increase in productivity with only a 4 percent employee turnover. The cost to train someone working in a call center went from $31 compared to $21 to train them to work from home.

Flexibility gives you options

Work from home with the option to have professional meeting space when you need it

Work on the road with the option to stay connected wherever your business takes you

Work from an office with the option to have space on your terms

Credibility: Perception is key when competing for market share

Solution: Virtual Office

Visibility: Search engines are making it harder for home-based businesses to have an online presence

Home office pain points

A Virtual Office can give your business a big-business image with a small-business budget. From mail handling and call answering to having a prestigious business address to use as your own, virtual offices provide a low-cost alternative to working from home.

Coffee houses and hotel lobbies do not portray the image you need

Solution: Business Lounges

Connecting with vendors and clients away from your home turf puts you at a disadvantage

Working on the road

Business Lounges provide a professional environment to stay connected wherever your business takes you. Internet access, refreshments and support services allow you to focus on work, and not your neighbor’s coffee order.

Full time office without the full-time commitment

Solution: Hub and Spoke model

You have your operations in point A but have people all over the nation/globe

Office space on your terms

Why have all of your employees office out of one location, when they are more effective in the field? Build a hub-and-spoke model for the most efficient, cost-effective solution for your office space.
