Time Zone issues. We're Eastern but need to cover Sales Calls/E-mails for Pacific and Foreign while keeping a home life? Ideas?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I used to live on the west coast and worked an east coast sales territory. I decided to live and work on Central time. It worked really well and was helpful with minimizing jet lag with 50+% travel.
Recommendation: find a median time zone between life location and work zone.

In order to address time zone issues, particularly covering your sales calls and emails for Pacific areas and foreigners, I suggest you take a good look at timeanddate.com, a site dedicated to providing users from around the world the different time. You can sort the time by City, Country and Time.

Aside from their world clock, timeanddate.com also have other pages that is useful such as Time Zones, Calendar, Weather, Sun & Moon, Timers, Calculators and Apps. Aside from those pages, you can also view the Extended World Clock, Personal World Clock and Event Time Announcer pages, that would prove helpful for your home life. Timeanddate.com have been in existence since 1997 and it's website went live last 1998. Accordingly, timeanddate.com have earned a number of reviews that are favorable from various media entities.

Find someone in a suitable time zone that can act as a sub-contractor for you. It should be possible to redirect calls/emails to them fairly easily or have a special "out of normal hours" number for your customers to call. You'll need to train them of course as you would any employee.
