Home Office Setup - Checklist
Your home office is very important to the success of your business. It is important that people can call you and that you can return phone calls in a quiet space. You don't need much room but you do need a quiet area.
Virtual Phone - I highly suggest that you get a virtual phone service. Either Vonage or Virtual PBX, two great services which I have personally both used.
Toll free 800# or 877# - Every travel business must have a toll free 800 or 877 #. I believe this is imperative. You can buy your own toll free # for around $35 then you can have it route to your virtual phone # or your vonage phone #. Once you own the toll free number and pay for it once you own it until you stop running your travel business.
Payment, Credit Card Processing - Your web-based travel website platform will most likely have a payment component where you can easily add a PayPal account or add a merchant credit card account to the website. Today it's easy than ever to be able to accept credit card payments for your travel products.
