Executives Who Travel Need A Strong Home Base
Posted by Marie on June 20, 2009
For the last three weeks, I’ve been supporting a traveling executive. On the one hand, it is a blessing for her business to be so busy. On the other, things can easily fall apart when the business runner is away for such a length of time.
As she traveled, there were hotel reservations to make, materials to forward, calls to return, and future meetings to organize. I did all that from right here in Chicago.
Through emails and cell phone calls, the executive received all her messages and continued to direct her business. Her clients were able to stay in touch and not experience any delays.
In addition, bills were not paid late, the mailbox didn’t overflow, and the plants didn’t die.
If you are a small business owner who may have travel in your future, could you use a reliable backup here at home?
