Executive Offices:  How They Can "Support" Your Home-Based-Business

Presenters:  Allan & Wendy Strawhacker, Executive Offices, Inc.

                   www.eoinc.com

11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

  • An office without the managment headaches - or a huge investment.
  • Services on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Wendy and Allan, owners of Executive Offices, Inc. (EOI) at  42 Reads Way in New Castle Corporate Commons, say they will do just about as much or as little of the client's "busy" work as the client wishes.  Services range from phone answering and clerical work, to computer tech support, registered agency, and incorporating services, plus just about anything in between.

EOI is an office suites facility that tries to tailor customer service to the specific needs of the individual client, on a pay-as-you-go basis.  Phone support includes handling calls in your company name, transferring a caller to your cell phone, your Home Office, or to your personalized voice mail at EOI.

Testimonials:

Tom, a manager with a Fortune 500 Co. and a client for 20 years, says, "he really appreciates EOI's assistance in organizing, producing, and getting his expense reports out.  He leans heavily on EOI to produce, edit, and publish numerous manuals and instruction sheets for his clients."

B.L. Roselle, a client  since 2000, says, "EOI provides exceptional services, allowing an owner to focus on business in order to increase profitability and longevity.  EOI provides quality business services and support for my home-based business (HBB) at an affordable price."

T. Powers, in the healthcare field, says, "I never worried about my phone calls.  I knew EOI would be fielding them properly, giving applicants and clients the correct information, and would interrupt me when an important client was waiting on the phone."

Owner, Wendy Strawhacker, says, "In business, clients should be the judges of service.  I am proud to say our clients are our best advertisement.  Helping a client land a big contract or issue a crucial publication on deadline is great for them and wonderfully fulfilling for us."

Small businesses grow with Executive Offices help! 

EOI calls on commercial realtors to help provide larger accomodations for their growing clients.  On the other hand, some clients do not want to grow any bigger.  EOI has been answering the phone for Dorothy's HBB for the past 15 years.  She manages her employees across 3 states from her home office.

With so many different businesses on-site on both a part-time and full-time basis, EOI's clients often find themselves consulting with and working with one another.  No matter how electonically connected people are, clients want to know they are dealing with a business with an established presence somewhere, often to include bricks and mortar.  EOI is the building, the voice at the other end of the phone, the office helpmate and just about anything else the client needs to get the job done, including an office for an hour or a day to meet a vendor, or a conference room to meet with clients.

No  charge to attend.  Pre-registration requested.
