My name is Nikolay. I am a Commercial Manager and a Shareholding Founder of the company "INTERSTEP", which provides logistic services. Nowadays I intend to open the seventh office of our company, which will be located outside the Russian Federation, in one of the European countries. Among the desirable and possible options I consider Paris or London. Certainly it would be prestigious (conspicuous) promotion of our Company, but at the same time it is rather expensive affair.
- it is necessary to rent office;
- to purchase office furniture;
- in addition to rental charges to pay for utility services;
- to connect telephone and fax;
- among other matters the minimal salary of any competent employee in those countries equals approximately to 3000 Euros per month.
I estimated my budget and understood that in the best case amount of investments will be refunded after two or three years, but we need to develop new markets and to be marketed in Europe even today. And moreover, our task is not “PR” of our company, but receiving of profit.
In view of the fact that it is necessary to realize our plans today and now, I decided to find nonstandard, alternative solutions. The first thing, which came into my mind regarding opening the office in Europe, was that this office shall actually operate with some “virtuality” features. I decided to search in Google for conception of virtual office.
Among all solutions presented on the Internet, I selected web-site of World-Virtual-Office.com and was impressed how simple it was to implement my business-plan.
- I purchased telephone number. I have purchased even two numbers: one - in Paris, another – in London. Price: 5.27 Euro per one number.
- I activated forwarding of calls into my Moscow mobile number. Activation is immediate! Even in 3 minutes you can accept incoming calls. Tariff for forwarding of calls from Paris into my Moscow mobile telephone is 0,09 Euro per minute.
- I filed an application for fax to e-mail service. This service is very important for us as our clients send applications to fax and many freight companies also send documents to fax.
- After a while, I filed an on-line application for a Virtual secretary, who speaks both English, and French languages. Within next 30 minutes I got a call from Dmitry, an officer of Administrative Department, who wished to specify my requirements to the secretary.
- Moreover, now I hold meetings with the employees of all departments of our offices in the Russian Federation by using World-Virtual-Office.com conference service. To my mind this is much more convenient than selector communication, and is more profitable than tariffs for Skype conferences.
At the present time the Company "INTERSTEP" works in Europe thanks to existence of fully virtual online representative office. It is convenient for the Company’s clients to communicate with our virtual secretaries in the country of their location. And nobody of them has any doubts regarding “virtuality” of our existence. At the same time our clients receive full professional support and service.
By virtue of World-Virtual-Office.com service our Company managed to execute conception of entry into new markets on 100 percents.
