[speaker001:] hey, the new SOHO. How's everything going?
[speaker002:] everything's great. I've just returned from my office.
[speaker001:] your office? Aren't you a freelancer?
[speaker002:] sure I am. I work for myself, but I've rented a virtual office at an office building in the downtown area.
[speaker001:] a virtual office?
[speaker002:] yeah, an office that runs efficiently by using nothing other than online communication technologies. I pay the rent and share office services with others in the same building.
[speaker001:] what kind of services do they offer?
[speaker002:] a separated office, internet access, phone services, fax services, mail & courier services, and almost everything you have in a conventional office.
[speaker001:] sounds fun.what else?
[speaker002:] I get a business address at an expensive location, and I can share the receptionist and secretary with other offices in the same floor.
[speaker001:] oh, that helps a lot to promote your corporate image.
[speaker002:] you bet it!
