Making Your Home Office sound like an Office

Friday, May 11 2007

Have you ever been on the phone with a client or customer when the baby starts crying loudly? The dog starts barking? The washing machine goes into hi-spin? While these are 'busy' sounds, they're not the 'busy office' kinds of sounds that your customer or client might expect to hear.

Here's a clever product that plays genuine busy office sounds for you while you're on the phone. It helps to mask out those 'other' sounds and can make your office sound like a real center of business productivity instead of a center of domestic chores.

This might also be useful if your office is 'too quiet' and you want to convey to your clients and customers that productivity is occurring. I prefer to look at this as a way to lend credibility rather a way to deceive. For those clients and customers that want to come visit you at your 'busy office', you will of course have to fess up.

But this might be particularly useful for those first impressions - after all, you know what they say about first impressions. It's called "Thriving Office" and it's available on CD or MP3 download (link here).
