In Sofia Stolberg’s latest Forbes EQ piece, we hear what industry leaders Ashley Buckner, Flip Howard and Michelle Stiegler (from well-established firms Carr Workplaces, Lucid Private Offices and Premier Workspaces respectively) think about Virtual Office (VO) products.

Flip notes that VO memberships represent nearly 70% of his profit margins across 26 locations, and "represent the highest revenue per square foot offering in the business". Michelle notes that over the last 22 years, VO plans have been a big part of their book of business, while Ashley noted how VO sales have a unique ability to go straight through to the bottom line.
