    Kung hei fat choi From Telsec 农历新年

    Office Space Toronto, Toronto Office Space, Toronto Virtual Office No Comments

    As I was driving into my Toronto office space this morning, I heard a radio announcer trying to say Kung hei fat choi, but his pronunciation sounded a little off, it sounded like he was saying “Gung Hei Fat Choy “. So I asked one of the Mandarin speaking office space Toronto clients what the proper pronunciation was. He told me that neither was the Mandarin way of saying Happy New Year (not an exact translation). It seems that  “Xin Nien Kwai Le” is the Mandarin way. He went on to tell me that his wife is from the Philipines and her family is from the Fujian province of China, where they speak a Chinese-Filipinos dialect called Hokkien. The Chinese-Filipinos say Kiong Hee Huat Tsai.

    He also informed me that much to many North Americans’ dismay, Kung hei fat choi (in Cantonese), Xin Nien Kwai Le (in Mandarin), and Kiong Hee Huat Tsai (in Hokkien [Chinese-Filipinos dialect from Fujian province]), do not mean “Happy New Year”. But instead, they all refer to the same set of 4 Chinese characters (农历新年) that literally means “Congratulations and wishing you prosperity!”

    The client had to leave for a meeting, so our conversation was left at that. I decided to do some more research. I found out that Cantonese is one of the 9 other groups of dialects in China and is most commonly spoken in Hong Kong, Guangdong and Macau, but Mandarin is the most largely spoken dialect in mainland China. What was more interesting is that regardless of the dialect spoken there are two written forms of Chinese – Traditional and Simplified characters.

    This got me to thinking, how would one say office space Toronto in Chinese? So, I turned to the internet to find some answers. As it turns out, Simplified Chinese characters were more commonly used in business on the Internet. A quick translation from Google let me know that “office space Toronto” translated to 多伦多办公室空间 in simplified Chinese characters.

    When I mentioned the research I had done to one of the Telsec staff, she told me that Telsec actually had a few Toronto virtual office clients that were located in Hong Kong. So I went back to Google to find out what the simplified Chinese characters were for virtual office Toronto. I found out that the translation was多伦多的虚拟办公室.This did not look the same as my previous translation, so I tried translating Toronto virtual office and found that the Simplified Chinese characters 多伦多 turned out to be Toronto.  Regardless of the order I asked for the words to translate, Toronto seemed to be the first. I had to find out more, so I asked Google to translate “downtown Toronto office space” and got 多伦多市中心的办公空间 , the characters多伦多 were still the leading characters. One last experiment, what if I left off the capital letter T in Toronto?  Turns out is still put those same three characters at the beginning.

    Need Office Space Toronto-There is no app for that but there is Telsec

    Office Space Toronto, Toronto Office Space, Virtual Office Toronto No Comments

    It seems these days that the solutions to a lot of problems can be fixed with an app. Need to find a restaurant? There’s an app for that. Need weather information, there’s an app for that. Need local traffic information? Yep, there’s an app for that! But there is No app for office space Toronto - well not yet anyway.

    So what is an APP?

    The American Dialect Society may have answered that question, but not in a way that helps those unfamiliar with the term really get a grasp of its meaning. In early 2011 they named the term ‘app’ word of the year . The Society’s rather short and abrupt definition is as follows:

    The shortened slang term for a computer or smart phone application.

    So you still want to know what an app is?  The word app is a noun, and it’s short for “application.”  Application in this case refers to a software application, but an app is not just any old software program. An app is a special type of software program used on a smartphone or mobile device such as the iphone, BlackBerry, Android, or devices like the  iPad or BlackBerry Playbook.

    For the most part apps are gadgets that help you do simple tasks without the need of a laptop or desktop computer. Some will even say that apps are just marketing tools for businesses allowing consumers easier access to the products and services the company offers. When searching for “Office Space App”, the only subjects that come up are applications for student office space Toronto at the University of Toronto and several other universities that offer graduate students and those working on their PhD to have access to an office. One other subject that comes up in the search is an Android app that plays sound bite quotes from the Movie “Office Space”, which is not exactly useful as a business application.

    Telsec is currently working on an app to better help businesses find information about Toronto office space, virtual office space Toronto and Toronto meeting rooms at Telsec. An office space Toronto app will also allow those visiting the site to send quick messages and inquiries to the Telsec staff. Telsec is also considering development of an app that will allow office space Toronto clients to book boardrooms and meeting rooms when they are out of the office and need to set up a meeting space.

    First and foremost, Telsec is in the business of renting affordable office space Toronto at a prestigious business address, so apps are not our first priority. Our priority is servicing Toronto office space and providing Toronto virtual office clients, with the best office support.

    Right now, across Canada, companies are saving literally thousands of dollars each year on staffing of traditional physical office space by having virtual offices in various Canadian cities. It’s an excellent way to reduce expenses while maintaining a high profile of having fully functional branch offices across the country. That includes Canada’s major business centers in addition to Toronto – namely Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver.

    For example, you could have your traditional physical head office located in Toronto occupying an elegant professional Toronto office space for lease (along with all the services and amenities associated with renting that particular space), but also have a Montreal virtual office assistant, Ottawa virtual office assistant and Vancouver virtual office services in place. This will “assist” your company in maintaining a coast-to-coast presence while keeping the perception of your business totally professional.

    The cost savings of having virtual offices in various Canadian cities can really add up and save you thousands of dollars each year. And if you need to meet with clients face to face occasionally, you can also use the physical facilities and amenities in the same building where your Montreal virtual office assistant, Ottawa virtual office assistant and Vancouver virtual office services are available.

    Virtual Office Toronto on a Budget

    Toronto Virtual Office, Virtual Office Toronto No Comments

    For many home based businesses that do not require a full time office outside of the home, but they do need a professional look by having a prestigious business address. Without the need for a full time office space Toronto, many of these businesses look for a virtual office Toronto on a budget. The days of using a post office box as a business address are long over, because business savvy customers are weary of doing business with a company that works out of a post office box.

    Phone Answering Service Toronto Virtual office When you are looking for a virtual office Toronto on a budget, there are many factors to consider:

    • Price – What will it cost you to use this prestigious business address?
    • Location – Is the virtual office Toronto location easy for you to get to if you have to have a meeting?
    • Meeting rooms – Does the virtual office Toronto on a budget offer meeting rooms and boardrooms a-la-cart?
    • Personalized phone answering – When your client or customer calls your phone number, does the receptionist answer and handle your call the way you wish her to?
    • Access to other business centres when you travel – Are you able to use the facilities of another affiliated business centre when you are traveling and working in another city?

    Price – A number of providers of virtual office Toronto on a budget claim to have low rates, but they fail to tell potential clients of all the hidden costs and extra fees. Before accepting the price and choosing a virtual office location based solely on price, be sure to ask about any hidden extra costs or fees.  A good virtual office Toronto solution provider will let you know all of the potential extra costs up front or will include them in the quoted price.

    Location – While you will not be traveling to your virtual office Toronto on a budget very often, you will sometimes want to be able to pick up your mail and courier packages that are urgent. Some virtual office locations will only re-mail your deliveries or are not easy to access when driving. Chose a Toronto virtual office provider that has a prestigious address and is easy to access.

    Meeting Rooms – Most office business centres that offer virtual office Toronto on a budget have meeting rooms and boardrooms, but many reserve those meeting spaces for only office space tenants. Other business centres that offer office space Toronto and virtual office services will allow virtual office clients to use the meeting rooms and Toronto boardrooms on an a-la-cart basis for a lower rate than non virtual office clients.

    Personalized phone answering – Having someone answer your calls with your business name is one thing, but having your phones answered in a personalized manor with your company greetings is more impressive to your clients. It makes your clients believe that the person answering your calls is on your staff and not a generic call centre. Sometimes you want to have your calls re-directed to your home office or your cell phone; other times you may want the receptionist to say you are in a meeting and send the call to your voicemail. The sign of a good provider of virtual office Toronto on a budget is that you can change how you want your calls handled any time during business hours.

    Access to other business centres when you travel – Business travel can be an important routine for you, but meeting a client in a hotel room is not always the best way to present your business. A few office space Toronto locations that offer virtual office Toronto on a budget offer you a place to touch down in other cities. Only one office space Toronto offers you a place to hold meetings in over 650 locations world wide in independently owned business centres that are part of the Alliance Network. Telsec is affiliated with the Alliance Network and is able to offer its office space Toronto and virtual office Toronto clients access to Office Business Centers around the globe.

    Canada Mail Service You Can Trust

    Toronto Virtual Office, Virtual Office Toronto No Comments

    While the current rotating postal strike has not had a very large impact on the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) or most mail service Toronto locations, some people who do depend solely on Canada Post – such as those who use post office boxes, publishers of magazines and newspapers, retailers and other businesses fulfillment companies – are feeling the stress. For example, community newspapers, magazines and other periodicals, as well as retail flyers promoting specific product discounts, are usually time-sensitive. If they’re dealyed for even a week, they may be rendered outdated or totally useless. These companies are also on the hook for initial printing costs. For them, Canada mail service must be dependable. For them, “Canada mail service you can trust” really means “uninterrupted mail service you can trust.”

    Fortunately, there are many alternatives to getting the best mail service Toronto can offer. The internet, of course, is still a great choice for Canada mail service you can trust. There are dozens of libraries and internat cafés in downtown Toronto and surrounding areas. If you must send paper copies or printed versions of your messages, many local printing shops, variety stores and virtual office locations offer inexpensive fax services comparable to Canada Post’s existing mail rates. Courier companies are also a viable alternative. Large or small, they can deliver letters and parcels often the same day or overnight to or from any home or prestigious business address across Canada. However, in general, their prices cannot match those of Canada Post.

    So what are your best options? Well, all of the above actually! It really depends on your (or your client’s) budget, urgency of the mailing piece, speed and type of service required. Today’s modern business centres Toronto do offer most of these alternatives to Canada mail service you can trust – internet, fax service, couriers, mail metering and more. One such Toronto business centre listing that is located in downtown Toronto at One Yonge Street (Toronto Star Building), a prestigious business address, is Telsec Business Centres. It offers high-speed internet, mail metering and handling, affordable outgoing fax service and free incoming fax service. You’d be hard-pressed to find any business centre that features no-charge incoming fax service. You can even get inexpensive, dedicated fax service in your own private office! And when you add Telsec’s mass mailing capabilities and quick-printing services, you can indeed reap the benefits of Canada mail service you can trust at a prestigious business address in downtown Toronto.

    Personalize Your Toronto Virtual Office

    Toronto Virtual Office, Virtual Office Toronto No Comments

    For many businesses a Toronto virtual office is the best way for them to have a prestigious business address at a fraction of the cost of a traditional office rental.

One way of doing this is to find a Toronto virtual office that allows you to personalize your Toronto virtual office to suit your needs and project the image that works for your business.

    How can a provider personalize your Toronto virtual office? First you want the receptionist to answer your calls with the greeting that you can customize, so they feel like they are contacting your business and not an answering service who handles many other customers. Another way to personalize your Toronto virtual office is to decide how your calls are handled on a daily basis. Some days you may want your calls sent to your home office, your cell phone or even just straight to voice mail, but you want the flexibility to change that when you need to. The most important way you can personalize your Toronto virtual office is in selecting the virtual office package that suits your needs. Some clients only need a Toronto mail service, some want a Toronto message and mail service, others may want a bit more. Some clients will rent a day office or a meeting room for half a day to meet with customers in person at the same address that is on their business card.

    Telsec Toronto Business Centre offers virtual office solutions that allow you to personalize your Toronto virtual office. Located at One Yonge Street on the 18th floor of the Toronto Star Building, they have the number one address on Canada’s most famous street.
