Go International In 2010!

Photo by alifayre

Want to go international in 2010?

It’s easier than you think with a virtual office!

Do you have big plans for your business in 2010? Of course you do! The Internet has made it easier than ever to market to a global audience so why wouldn’t you take the opportunity to expand your business? It’s a fabulous idea but many business operators have found that while they can reach prospective clients all over the world with their advertising, getting overseas clients to advance to the stage of placing an order is a different matter, particularly if you don’t have any overseas offices. Here are three of the main reasons for their reluctance:

1. People like to shop locally. This can apply to corporate clients as well as individuals.

2. When you’re ordering from an interstate or overseas business, there’s a nagging doubt that you’ll receive the product or service promptly. When you don’t have a street address people can relate to they can have difficulty forming an opinion on the size and professionalism of your business. When in doubt, they’ll revert to a local supplier.

3. Credibility – if the business is run predominantly online, is based overseas or interstate and has no street address displayed, it raises doubts as to whether it is a legitimate operation. At the very least it raises the concern that if you pay your money and your product or service doesn’t arrive there is no way of tracing the perpetrator.

Of course, setting up physical offices overseas is a major expense and one that is out of reach for the majority of business operators – but there is a viable alternative. Virtual offices are your answer. Starting from just $25 a month you can have a Manhattan office. You’ll be able to use the prestigious office address, and have mail sent to your Manhattan address and forwarded to you. You can even take advantage of a Manhattan phone number that diverts to your number or to a message service. Live call answering is also available for your overseas Manhattan office! And if you’re ever in the situation where you need to meet clients in Manhattan, you’ll be able to book office space to use at your physical Manhattan office address.

If you’re planning to go international in 2010, a Manhattan virtual office will get you off to a great start without costing you a fortune.

Strad for Lunch Series – Monday, February 1

Palacio Real Stradivarius
Stradivarius on display Madrid’s Palacio Real

Every Monday at 12:30pm, WMP Concert Hall offers a 45 minute long chamber music concert to the public, and it is free admission with a suggested donation of $10.00. The idea of the concert series is to offer high quality music to their neighbors while they take their lunch break.

Monday, February 1 at 12:30pm
Violinist Erno Kallai and Pianist Larry Weng

These two talented musicians will perform works by Mozart, Bartok, Paganini, Sarasate, Liszt and Bazzini.

Winner of the Eleventh Carl Flesch International Violin Competition, Erno Kallai is establishing himself as one of the most exciting and charismatic young violinist today. In December 2008 he made his Carnegie Hall debut, performing Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto no.2 with the Juilliard Orchestra, under James DePreist. He performed chamber music concerts with Itzhak Perlman and members of the Perlman Music Program in venues such as Chicago Symphony Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the McCarter Theater. He has played for Hungarian radio and Television and appeared on the McGraw-Hill Company’s “Young Artists’ Showcase” with host Bob Sherman on WQXR. Erno’s regular recital partners include Rohan DeSilva and Janos Balazs, pianists and he has collaborated with Mattias Jacobsson, guitarist.

He has won numerous awards and prizes, including first prize at the Zathureczky Violin Competition in 2003, awards from the Semmering Music Festival in 2004 (which included the best interpretation of a work by Kodaly, and award for the best interpretation of a Viennese Classic work with his performance of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No.5), a Valerie Beth Schwartz Career Grant from Salone de Virtuosi in 2007, first prize at the Juilliard Concerto Competition in 2008, among others.

Born in Budapest, Hungary, Erno Kallai began early violin training with his father. At age of twelve, he had been admitted to the Exceptionally Talented Children’s class of the Franz Liszt University of Music where he studied with Andras Csontha and Eszter Perenyi. In 2006 he moved to the United States to study with Itzhak Perlman at the Juilliard School, where he still continues his studies as a full scholarship student. Erno Kallai is playing a 1723 Petrus Guarnerius violin, a generous gift from the Juilliard Rare instrument Collection.

Larry Weng began his piano studies at the age of seven with Dorothy Shi. At the age of eleven, he enrolled in the New England Conservatory Preparatory School under the tutelage Sylvia Chambless. Larry Weng is a laureate of numerous competitions, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Concerto Competition and the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition for Young Musicians.

He has performed in many renowned concert halls, such as Symphony Hall, New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall, Weill Recital Hall, and the Kaufman Center. He has also worked with numerous orchestras, including the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In 2005, he was admitted to the joint degree program between Columbia University and The Juilliard School.

In the past few years, Larry has continued to garner recognition in the music world, with top prizes from the New York Piano Competition and the Kosciuszko Foundation Chopin competition. Hailed by renowned professors and performers such as Arie Vardi and Paul Badura-Skoda as a “fine musician with a bright future,” Larry is dedicated to not only the artistic creation of music in the concert hall, but also to education and outreach in the broader community.

He firmly believes in the transformative powers of music, and the importance of immersing the youth in music in both an understandable and interesting manner. Larry has completed his Bachelor’s degree in Economics at Columbia University, and is currently finishing his Masters degree at the Juilliard School under the tutelage of Jerome Lowenthal and Matti Raekallio.

WMP Concert Hall is located at 31-33 East 28th Street, between Park and Madison. No food or beverages are permitted in the concert hall.

Future Shows:

Monday, February 8th @ 12:30pm:
Violinist Akiko Kobayashi and pianist Juliana Han

Monday, February 22nd @ 12:30pm:
Violinist Emily Smith and pianist Marnie Hauschildt

Case Study: Carlos, His Translation Company and a Manhattan Virtual Office

Photo by Julikeishon

How can a Virtual Office help you?

Case Study: Carlos
Type of Business: Translator
Location: Formerly Manhattan, Currently Buenos Aires, Argentina
Services: New York Virtual Office Business Address Rental, Meeting Room Usage, Mail Handling, Mail Forwarding

After completing his degree in language studies, Carlos, a native of Argentina, worked as a translator in the marking department of a fortune 100 company in New York.

He freelanced during his free time, evenings and weekends for an international translating company, only taking assignments he knew he could finish quickly without interfering too much with his free time or his hectic daytime workload.

Seeing how easy it was to do a little work on the side, Carlos tinkered with the idea of starting his own translation service. He also missed his hometown and loved the idea of returning to Argentina to spend more time with his family and friends; he knew that starting his own business would be the only way to have freedom and financial independence. Carlos hated the idea of debt and didn’t want to make any large upfront investments in this new venture, he figured the best way would be to use money generated by his moonlighting efforts to grow his business. He started a small website, noting all of his credentials and within a few months he started to get small translation jobs: letters, documents, contracts etc.

Any new income was immediately returned and reinvested into his new business. His translation service was starting to slowly and little by little, generate some profits. Carlos would be the first person to tell you that it took time; time to get picked-up in search engines and time to grow his client base, but he was determined not to in-debt himself by taking any up-front high interest loans to grow his business. He would do it himself, no loans.

After about a year, he started to get jobs where his larger corporate clients wanted to pay him with checks; he normally accepted Paypal payments for jobs. The problem now was: Where should his big corporate clients mail these checks to? He couldn’t have them sent to his day job… and definitely not to his home address. Not aware that he had any options, Carlos would visit the client’s office and pickup his checks personally. He couldn’t keep running around the city for checks, this was taking way too much time, not to mention it being exhausting. Another bump in the road came when a client wanted Carlos to translate audio documents; the client wanted to mail him CD’s with audio files and not email them because the files were too large. Carlos realized he needed a professional business address for sure and fast.

After learning about virtual offices, he started searching and comparing services online; he chose New York’s premier service, VH International Business Solutions. Carlos opened his New York virtual office with VH International Business Solutions, including rental of a physical office space. He finally had a company to run his New York business presence while still working and maintaining his day job. He was able to receive all his documents and correspondence at his New York virtual office and then have everything forwarded directly to his home. Every piece of mail he was receiving was either a check or an income generating project, so as far as Carlos was concerned, every piece of mail was paying for itself!

His translation company was surely growing. He was finally starting to get overwhelmed and began outsourcing some of his projects to peers. Who can’t use a little extra income?

Then the unexpected happened, Carlos’ day job announced they were downsizing several departments, his was one of them. This wasn’t good news. Even though he had worked there for a few years, he was still one of the most recent team members; his department was barely holding their head above water. Carlos had an idea and approached his immediate supervisor who, in turn, took his idea to the higher-ups: If Carlos accepted a layoff, would they consider outsourcing work to his translation company? After all, outsourcing is much more cost effective than keeping a full-time staff member. It was a far out idea but, it worked! They accepted!

Carlos is now happily not only back in his beloved hometown in Argentina, but he also remotely works from there! The best thing is, his clients don’t know he’s there – they think he’s working out of New York, NY. Even though he’s over 5300 miles away he does, after all, have a New York City business presence. The peace of mind, freedom and convenience offered by a virtual office service from reputable company is not only essential for Carlos, but priceless.

Carlos does come to New York about four times a year to meet with clients and to conduct interviews with potential freelancer translators in his New York virtual office.

We are proud to still call Carlos one of our valued clients – and congratulate his success.
