No longer do you need to add more staff in order to grow your business, the new model of Virtual Teams means just the opposite. Less overhead, less headache.

Sherman Oaks, CA (EMWNews) July 23, 2008 — Worker’s compensation insurance, payroll taxes, recruiting and training new employees… it’s no wonder so many small business are struggling to survive. Enter a new breed of entrepreneurs – the virtual team building camp. This is how a one-person office out of Sheboygan can generate an annual sales figure of over $1.2 million. Where small business owners used to think that they needed to add more staff in order to grow their business, the new model of Virtual Teams means just the opposite. Less overhead, less headache.

Success Connections founder Melanie Benson Strick believes that having a virtual team is the route for entrepreneurs who want to make the best use of their time and talents. Strick is best known for her results-driven coaching practices, and now she has announced the release of a new tool for small business owners, the Virtual Team Building Bootcamp in a Box. While folks around the country are struggling at the gas pump, Strick makes it easier for businesses to find a wide variety of trained professionals who are more than happy to save their money and work from home.

Strick has spent the last several years helping business owners get on track and stay in the black, including her own business. Her unique coaching methods and extensive line of support materials have made her the go-to person for entrepreneurs and small business owners needing help with innovative strategies to accomplish more in less time. Virtual Team Building Bootcamp in a Box has taken the best strategies and resources of the full-length Virtual Team Building course and condensed them, giving small business owners all the nuts and bolts they need to expand their own businesses without breaking the bank.

“You just can’t do everything yourself and expect to be as productive or successful as you would like,” says Strick. “If you find yourself getting stuck, or spending too much time on projects that aren’t generating any revenue for you, then you know it’s time to change the way you do business. I know for myself, and for many of my peers, having a virtual team made it possible for me to have a bigger and better business than I ever dreamed possible.”

The VTBB program has made learning the ropes of creating a virtual team so simple, it’s seamless to existing clients. All the guesswork is taken out with specific tips and strategies, forms to use, interview techniques for prospective team members, and resources for maintaining your team and managing projects.
