What you will get:
- Virtual Office Assist will assign a customer service representative as well as a bookkeeper to your account. This will be your project management team.
- Virtual Office Assist uses Basecamp to organize all new client projects. You will be emailed an invitation to join your project management team in Basecamp so that you can be involved in everything that goes on between our team and yours. This is where we will communicate and store documents.
- It will also be possible for a video conference call so that you can meet your project management team and put a face to those that will be working on your behalf.
- You will receive a scope of work form describing the work Virtual Office Assist will be responsible for, along with an authorization you must sign.
- We will send you a New Client Set up form with all the information we will need to start work for your company.
- You will be assigned a dedicated phone number that will ring at our offices. This telephone number will be assigned an area code local to your area. This is the number we will use to call out on to make calls for your franchise, so it appears as if we are local. If someone we call uses the caller id from the number we used to call us back, we will have that dedicated line labeled with your company’s location name, so we know who we are answering the phone for.
