Business groups up to five people, particularly attorneys, consultants and P&G, GE, & Toyota suppliers: If your company's office is in a home (home address on business cards), it lacks power for business development. If your company's office is in leased space, it has periods of excess/inadequate space, equipment and staff. Build your company's office from these resources:
Location Choose a location that is well known, easy to find and compliments the quality of your company. Use Downtown, Blue Ash & Kentucky as needed.
Workspace Decide if your employees need dedicated or as-needed workspace. Decide if workspace will be a desk, workstation or office. Rightsize!
Phone System Give customers a knowledgeable person to talk to. Give your employees a number so customers are not calling their personal cell numbers.
Mail Room Have someone there when a delivery arrives. Have your company fax number and company email address monitored.
Meeting Facilities Select size and accessories. Have a receptionist cater lunch and greet late-comers. Join people in other cities with web & video conferencing.
