<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mobile technology is growing increasingly sophisticated, making
it so that you only need a laptop and an internet connection and you can
work anywhere and everywhere. That means to start a business or to keep
a company growing, you don't actually need a physical office, because
you've practically got a virtual office set up on your couch, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But
the truth is, a physical address is still important in the business
world. It can help your business feel more credible and permanent in the
eyes of potential clients, who can still be pretty traditional when it
comes to a business's image. But instead of signing up for a long-term
lease and paying out the money every month for a space you have to set
up and maintain, including janitorial services and utilities and staff
to keep it running, you can sign up for a virtual office service. A
virtual office service goes a step beyond you working from home: it
gives you the services and physical address you need to expand your
business, with only the fraction of the cost it takes to set up and run
your own office. And that's savings you can take and funnel back into
the important parts of your business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When is it time to sign up for a virtual office?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's time you had a prestigious address</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
you sign up with a virtual office service, you gain the power of a
high-profile and prestigious location without having to pay the sky-high
rental fees other companies do. An address in a high-class business
tower at a downtown location is probably the cheapest way to improve
your company's professional image, and signing up for a virtual office
is the fastest and most inexpensive way to get it. With a company
address outside your home, you're also helping maintain your personal
privacy, so that no one with your contact information has your home
address any more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's time you ditched the P.O. box</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nothing
shouts "home based business" louder than a business address with a PO
box. The professional mailing address that comes with your virtual
office lets you accept, send and forward mail from a professional
address, so you never have to give out your personal address either.
Virtual office providers usually offer 24-hour access to your mailbox,
too, so you never have to worry about not being able to get to your
mail. With a virtual office address you also have a service that is always available to receive and sign for packages during business hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's time you had a receptionist</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
you're working from home, chances are you're using a cell phone to pick
up your calls. Chances are also that you're busy almost every hour of
the day you and often have to miss calls, or you end up dealing with
interruptions all day that affect your productivity pretty severely.
Plus, most customers get frustrated when they get voicemail instead of a
person and will hang up. That's poor customer service and can also lead
to missed opportunities or even lost customers or clients.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a
virtual office service you also get a virtual receptionist. The
receptionist is always available to offer personalized answering
services, take accurate messages and forward calls to whatever number
your choose. Virtual office receptionists never take a day off, don't
incur human resources issues the way hiring your own receptionist could
cause, and can also send you email transcripts of your messages so that
you're always connected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's time you had a conference room</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It
might impress your clients once to be wined and dined while you're
making a deal, but you can't always meet at a restaurant, or a coffee
shop. And you sure don't want to invite them into your living room. A
virtual office space means that you always have a meeting space, as
small or as large as you need, whenever you need it, helping you project
a professional and sophisticated image as well as saving you all the
money it costs to take your clients out to eat all the time!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's time you had the right technology</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Company
technology is expensive. You can afford a laptop and a printer, but
what about photocopies, scanners, fax machines, advanced phone features,
video conferencing equipment, presentation equipment? These are
expensive items that you won't use often enough to make it cost
effective enough to invest in, but are still necessary. With a virtual
office you gain access to all this equipment without the overhead,
without having to maintain any of it, and without having to worry about
something expensive becoming totally obsolete.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Three to Get Deadly" is the third book in Janet Evanovich's series about Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This
story focusses on the mystery associated with the disappearance of the
man everyone in the community loved and called "Uncle Mo". He owned the
candy store where children and adults alike had good memories. He was
stopped by a rookie cop when he was doing ten miles above the speed
limit. Mo had been carrying a concealed weapon and was arrested because
of this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stephanie's cousin Vinnie had posted bail on behalf of
Uncle Mo but, when Uncle Mo didn't appear when he was required,
Stephanie was assigned to the case. Her role, as bounty hunter, is to
capture the missing person and turn him into the police station. As
payment for her work, she receives ten percent of the amount of bail
that was posted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this book, Stephanie face a great deal of
scorn and resistance from the community as they all have grown to love
Uncle Mo over the years. Their perception is that Uncle Mo would never
have done anything wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stephanie knows the law but she doesn't
always follow it. She breaks into Uncle Mo's apartment and is surprised
by what she finds. She, and community members are also shocked by the
fact that dead bodies keep turning up. The danger increases and
Stephanie finds herself dealing with drug dealers and prostitutes in
areas of New Jersey that she would likely not otherwise frequent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joe
Morelli, the vice-cop who had sexually abused Stephanie in the past and
Ranger who is Stephanie's bounty hunter mentor are both supports and
irritants for Stephanie who is determined to find Uncle Mo and determine
who was doing all the killing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stephanie's eccentric parents and
Grandmother Mazur also have important roles in this crime novel. They
all have strong ideas about how Stephanie should live and work, a
situation that causes her stress. At the same time, however, they are
always there for Stephanie if she wants a good home-cooked meal, advice
or someone to accompany her on missions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lula, a former
prostitute, who was introduced to us in an earlier Plum novel, is now
working in Vinnie's office as a filing clerk. She has a bigger role in
"Three to get Deadly" as she provides valuable information,
transportation and interesting but unconventional companionship to
Stephanie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stephanie and Joe Morelli's relationship becomes even
more complex than in the past. They begin caring about one another and
it is obvious that Joe wants to ensure that Stephanie is safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This
was a great book that, in typical Evanovich style, has a plot with
unexpected twists and turns. I continue to enjoy the way in which she
combines the seriousness of violence and crime with the everyday humour
of the interesting characters who all contribute to the plot in their
own unique ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can hardly wait for the next installment in the
Stephanie Plum novel collection. I'm looking forward to more of the
same suspenseful and funny stories.</div>
