Whether you have just started your home-based business or have been in business for years, there are some simple things you can do to have a professional image with your customers. It may take a little work, but is well worth the effort.

Consider having a separate line for your business, with an answering machine or service. This way, you will not have to worry about your family tying up your business line during business hours. Also, change your voice mail message daily indicating the date. Make it a point to answer as many messages as you can the same day.

Get their contact information when you make the appointment and call them the day before to remind them of their appointment time. Make sure they realize that if they miss their time, they will have to reschedule for a new appointment.
Office Space
If possible you should have a room designated as your office. This room should be clear of toys and have a clean, professional appearance. Having a door is a plus, but is not completely necessary. It should be a quiet room away from family distractions.
You will need a desk, bookshelves, and file cabinets. Also you will need a computer, printer and any other accessories your business requires.
