Do you feel the internet has helped or hurt your industry, and why?
Answered by:
My industry has evolved due to the internet. I am a Virtual Assistant offering Executive Assistant Services, which allows Consultants or Business Operators the ability to leverage their time in more positive ways (more time for sales, more time to create, more free time, etc..). I have had clients from across Canada, some of which I have only spoken to a handful of times). I have a large client from Toronto and everything we do is over email and the occasional call. The internet has permitted me the ability to open my market and I am not restricted to only clients I can find in my neighborhood.

Yes, I have assisted in similar scenarios like that here in Las Vegas Nv, US. Have you ever had to hire or contract other service providers in other cities or state then where your located?
Absolutely, for most industries I feel it has helped. Or more so if your business is mainly done online you are in a good place! Most ppl do their shopping online and their researching stuff on line and looking at reviews before they even book a DR appt!
The ability to reach new customers/clients is amazing and depending on your services can sometimes not be as restrictive to as you said your "area" only!
