How to Grow and Manage Your Twitter Following

It doesn’t matter if you’re an entrepreneur working in a brick and mortar business or working from your home office, every ghuru says it’s important to engage in social media.  What is social media, you ask?  It’s web sites like Twitter, FaceBook, Google+, Linked In, Pinterest and other similar sites where you can directly engage people, develop relationships and talk about your business or other topics.  But, conversing on any social media takes time.

The most widely used social media forum is Twitter.  What if you could load up tweets ahead of time, manage your followers, download lists and put all of that on auto-pilot?  The good news is now YOU CAN!  We have found some brand new software that complies with all of Twitter’s rules that automates everything!  Set it up and let it run.  Watch your list grow, send people to your web site or blogs to read about your products which equals traffic that can turn into sales.  It’s called TweetAdder4 and we have had great success with it.  Follow the link and get more information.  It just might be the exact thing you have been looking for to save time and grow your list.

Avante Adds New Security Products Category

We are proud to announce that we have added a new category for Security Products.  Protection and safety at home and at your place of business has become a top priority issue for many folks.  We have tried to offer variety in our products as well as keeping the pricing very reasonable.

If you have been looking into security video cameras, but find the price too high, why not purchase a dummy camera like our camera from P3 International Dummy Video Camera?  Would-be thieves will see the camera, but won’t know if it’s real or not and hopefully prevent them from targeting your place.  We are currently running a SPECIAL on the P8315 model – BOGO – Buy one at the regular low price and get a second one at half price.  This offer is available now and ends on May 31, 2013.  Enter discount code SECURITYCAM during checkout.  Discounts are not reflected until an item is added to the shopping cart.  With this deal, you can easily purchase for your home and business.

Another item that is a big seller for us is the Mini Bug Detector.  With this little gadget, you can quickly sweep a room and be sure that no one is listening to your conversations.  Good for hotel rooms, meeting rooms, schools, and unfamiliar locations.

Telephone transcribers – We have a great little device for you that is a telephone recorder with information center & caller ID.  The Telephone Recorder  records phone conversations, meetings, conference calls or assists in transcribing work.  It records from virtually any telephone system. Quantities are limited, so hurry if you are interested in this item!

Growing Your Home Based Business

Whether you're an agent based at home for a call center, or an entrepreneur starting your own business from your home, we have some ideas that will help you while you grow.

One of the most important pieces of equipment you need besides your computer or laptop is to have the ability to answer your calls in a timely fashion.  We highly recommend using a telephone headset to accomplish this task, as your hands are then free to type information into the computer, or write down information.  No crick in the neck trying to hold a phone between your neck and your shoulder and you won’t drop the phone trying to accomplish another task.

What headset should you get?  That would depend on the type of phone you are using and how much freedom you need to move around the office.  Many folks have dropped their land lines and are using only their mobile phone.  Others use a desktop phone and a mobile phone, while others are using an IP (internet protocol) solution like Skype, or some other service that goes through their computer which is also referred to as a soft phone or VoIP (voice over internet protocol).

We have put together a few solutions to help you decide which headset is right for you.  Please note that all of our Plantronics headsets offer free ground shipping.

VOYAGER LEGEND B235 – For Mobile + Computer – Wireless:  The Voyager Legend B235 UC Bluetooth headset is the latest and most advanced headset from Plantronics that works with both your smart phone and computer.  Using triple microphones, the Legend has superior noise canceling ability.  It also has smart sensor technology which allows you to answer a call by simply picking up the headset and putting it on your ear.  Read more….

SAVI 740 3-in-1 WIRELESS HEADSET – For Desktop phone, Bluetooth Mobile, and Computer:  The Savi 740 is one of the most popular wireless headsets because it offers so much versatility.  First of all, the headset is convertible, so it can be worn over the head or behind the ear and is very comfortable.  Another great feature is that it allows up to a 350 foot range from the base while using it with the desktop phone or computer soft phone,  and up to 40 feet if using it with your Bluetooth mobile smart phone.  The headset allows you to switch between all devices with the simple touch of a button.  It also has DECT technology which ensures safe conversations and eliminates WiFi interference.  For call answer and end away from your desk through the headset, simply add a Savi lifter or EHS hookswitch.  Read more about this great headset.  Easy to set up.

M175C CORDED HEADSET – For use with cordless phone and mobile phones:  If you are using a cordless phone system in your home, the Plantronics M175C headset is the answer for you.  It hooks into the cordless phone and can also be plugged into a mobile headset which leaves your hands free to write, type or drink your coffee!  It is an inexpensive way to begin and still remain hands free.  It offers dual wearing styles and reduced noise canceling technology.  Read more…

HW261N SupraPlus + T10H – Headset and Single Line Analog Phone Bundle Currently on Sale:  Many of the home agents are working for big call centers in their home.  One of the requirements by many of these companies is that you need to be using an analog phone line.  We have a great solution with the HW261N SupraPlus dual ear headset which is made for phone intensive call center work with a T10H single line analog phone.  The headset is designed for comfort and all day use along with excellent noise canceling technology.  The last thing you want a customer to hear while you are on the phone is a dog barking or baby crying in the background.  This headset and phone dialer have been approved for home office agents.  So whether you’re an interpreter, sales agent or in customer service, this headset and phone bundle would be an excellent solution for you.  Read more…

Are you already set up with your equipment but trying to figure out how to grow your business?  Do you miss calls when you are out of your office?  Do you offer a toll-free number for your customers?  What if you could have your own toll-free number and have the ability to take a call anywhere or send that caller to voice mail while you’re out at lunch or in a meeting?  We have a solution for you with the Auto Attendant from eVoice.  Sound more professional, work from anywhere, and get your voice mails sent to your email!  Click the banner below and find out how the auto attendant can help you grow your business TODAY!
