eFax Podcasts Spotlight Successful Mobile Professionals, Small Business Owners

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In a mobile world increasingly dependent on electronic messaging -- email, text messaging, voicemail to text, etc. -- one reality can't be ignored: completed forms, applications, and other hard copy documents with hand written notations or signatures need to be exchanged quickly and easily.  For this reason, many successful mobile business professionals have turned to eFax®, the world's leading online fax service.  A series of podcasts from eFax (www.efax.com/podcasts) features interviews with business professionals who rely on the service, from magician Rob Lake to web pioneer Aliza Sherman.

Sherman is a principal owner in strategic social media marketing and communications agency Conversify, and an eFax user.  "I no longer have a real fax machine," says Sherman.  "There are lots of things we do every day with companies or government where we have to fax.  A lot of people who travel overseas and need to make reservations are still going to deal with faxing something or receiving a fax."

"It's [eFax] real magic," says magician Rob Lake in the podcast.  Lake is the youngest magician ever to win the coveted Merlin Award.  "We travel all the time and it's wonderful because my home office can contact me directly via fax and we can do contracts, signatures, forms.  It's especially useful when we're overseas.  It's really like our whole office is able to travel with us, just due to eFax."

The eFax Solutions podcasts are online at www.efax.com/podcasts.  iTunes® users can subscribe to the eFax Solutions channel by going to the iTunes Store and typing "eFax" in the "Search Store" box.
