A lot of times, our client's perception of a business run from home is inferior compared to a business run in a usual office. An office setting provides them the credibility they are looking for in a business.

One dead giveaway that people know its a home office is through the background noise. When your client calls your home office, do they hear..

dogs barking?
doorbell ringing?
the TV?
kids on the background?

To sound more professional on the phone, home businesses have started playing a unique CD in the background. It's called Thriving Office and it's filled with the sounds people expect to hear from a successful business, such as background conversations, phones, computers and file drawers. One track is "Busy" and the other is "Very Busy".

This valuable CD is being sold at thrivingoffice.com and is filled with the sounds people expect to hear from successful companies, providing instant credibility.

Alternatively, you can just ask a friend who works in an office to record their office' background noise and just burn in on a CD. It's a nice idea and I hope it works wonderfully on your home business.
