“The pressure to telecommute is getting to the point where more people will have to do it,” Gordon said. “People need solutions so they can work from home, they need someone to help and advise them on options.”
Gordon’s goal is to hire 200 “eOffice experts” to perform onsite training and repairs for telecommuters throughout the Piedmont, Northern Virginia and Baltimore-Washington, D.C., region.
Gordon defines an eOffice expert as mature and experienced, with polished interpersonal skills as well as technical expertise. He wants to build a mobile cadre of personable computer whizzes that provide a locally grown alternative to Best Buy’s (Seek Squad.
Gordon said the employees he is seeking may already do onsite computer services, but eOffice will provide them with a brand name and support that will help them do that job better.
“There’s a market out there for professional computer services,” Gordon said. “It’s being fueled by technology. Technology is becoming much more affordable, but iPs also getting more complicated.”
Gordon already has about 100 clients in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. He works with general contractors, real estate agents, attorneys, doctors and sirfall business owners.
