Lodato Post Staff Writer “Personalised” and "professional" are terms that characterize business woman Linda Cowan’s most recent venture. Ms. Cowan owns and ope rates Step Up Answering Service, a spin-off of Step Up Temporaries, of which she was a partner until recently. “I always wanted to have my own business," she con fided in a recent inter view. “1 set myself the goal to do it by the time I was 35." She has accomplished her goal with time to spare. Prior to teaming up with Brenda Goodman to form Step Up Temporaries in 1982, Ms. Cowan worked as a data processor and a buyer. While still em ployed, she began re searching the temporary service field, thinking she might start such an enter prise "because it sounded interesting." MS.

Purchase vrnai prompted her to take the plunge into self employment when she did was a Charlotte Post ar (tide about her future busi ness partner, who was just starting such a service. Ms. Cowan contacted Ms. Goodman, and, several meetings later, tfiejT merged their efforts to form Step Up Temporaries in December, 1982. r The partners decided to start an answering service last October because that was something their cus tomers often asked for. Although the answering service and temporary service are now separate business entities (Goodman retained ownership of Step Up Temporaries and Cowan has Step Up An swering Service), the two women work cooperative ly, referring customers to each other and sharing office space. Personalized service is what sets Step Up Answer ing Service apart from other answering services, -Ms. Cowan believes. “We do a profile of each business customer so that when a call comes in, we can provide basic infor mation,” she explained. Operators are trained to be courteous and show con cern. Sometimes they will even follow up on calls, especially when the caller is a patient trying to reach a physician. Besides tak ing messages, Step TTp operators also deliver mes sages to callers when the customer requests it. Step Up Answering Ser vice provides 24-hour-a uiy, seven-aays-a-week phone coverage. General ly, a customer simply uses call-forwarding to have calls diverted to Step Up. Customers without their own phones are assigned a telephone line at Step Up which their clients dial directly. Most service costs as little as $22 a month. Although still a new busi ness, the company already has expansion plans that include the installation, in the next few months, of a computerized answering system which will provide the capability of handling 200 customers. Step Up has both busi ness and residential cus tomers. “Some individuals just don’t like the imper sonal nature of an answer ing machine and prefer to use a service such as ours,” explained Ms. Cowan. About 40 percent of Step Up’s customers have switched from other an swering services. Ms. Co wan attributes this to the low-cost yet professional service the business pro vides. How does it feel to have your own business by the age of 35> “I like being my own boss and making my own decisions,” Cowan an swered. Ah, the sweetness of success. _ Classified Ads ■ Are The BEST BUY For Your Money! 376-0496 THE CHARLOTTE PORT Large Selection ^ HALF PRICE! 223 EASTBLVD.
