Quotes and Follow-Up Outsourcing

Whether a tradesperson quoting to build an extension, a plumber providing annual servicing or a supplier of goods or services, many business owners spend valuable time visiting potential customers and clients to price up a job and provide a quote, yet often fail to follow up afterwards.

- Book appointments for annual services and meetings
- Deal with supplier related queries such as stock delivery and pricing
- Request testimonials from your clients
- Send out regulatory certificates where required
- Ensure invoices are sent out and subsequently paid
- Social media support provided
- Expense receipts dealt with
- We work with trade software such as Gas Engineers Software(GES)

Social Media Service

Social Media Marketing raises brand awareness, enabling you to reach your target market, producing content created with your clients in mind. Not having a social media presence is like having a shop front with the lights off and a closed sign over the door. Worst still, an inactive social media presence can give the impression of a business that’s stagnant.

We turn on the lights to your online shop window.

- Having an online presence can provide direct access to customers allowing you to contact and stay in touch with them, keeping them up to date with any new product, services or sales
- It helps you build an online community around your brand. Loyal customers can quickly and easily communicate with their own contacts opening up potentially new relationships for you.
- We offer profile set up across the platforms of your choice
- Define your online marketing strategy and create a content marketing calendar based on your businesses needs for the coming year
- Produce the written content and visuals
- Upload the content directly to your website blog page

Customer Care Service

Engagement is the key. Customer Care is about being PROACTIVE not REACTIVE. It’s about building relationships, anticipating what your clients need before they realise they need it, identify problems before they become an issue and giving them the experience, they deserve.

We work with you to create the perfect scenario to engage with your clients.

- Set up ‘Client Surveys’ to ask your clients want they think about your service/product
- Create Journey Maps for each client
- Pick up the phone and say hi, check how their business is, thank them when you don't have the time
- Engage with them on Social Media
- Your clients and customers are busy people who don’t spend all their time thinking about your company or brand. Sending out a monthly newsletter will encourage your customers to think about you more often than they would normally
- Help you set up VIP clubs for your loyal clients and customers to continue building on great relationships
- Use industry software such as Phorest to engage with your customers and clients on your behalf

Operations Service

Getting caught up in the day to day operations of dealing with budgets, project delivery and strategy of daily operations can prevent a business owner from focusing on how to move the business forward. Tasks such as managing individual projects, dealing with suppliers and finding ways to increase the quality of your customer service will be a drain on your time.

We will take care of the day to day operations leaving you with the task of building the business, not drowning in it.

- Purchase materials, and deal directly with your suppliers
- Raise invoices and deal with the credit control

Database Service

Databases that are out of date, inaccurate, and incomplete are holding your business back. We help you drive your business forward by ensuring your database is used productively.

We work with you to create and implement the best use of your database to connect with your clients.

- We will help you to audit your customers data. Build a picture of your customer base; understanding those that share characteristics can help with your marketing.
- Check that your contacts are up to date and obtain any missing information.
- Help you to collect information that it is relevant, practical to collect, and will be useful in the sales and marketing process, this could include personal information such as how a prospect likes to spend their time.

- Develop a regular maintenance programme (every 6 months) to ensure that your customer and client data is up to date, done either by phone or email that can include an offering relevant to them.

Cash flow Improvement Service

While sales are the muscles of a business, cash flow is its life blood, necessary to pay salaries, buy materials, keep the lights on and the doors open. Meeting the expenses and being able to cover overheads whilst still growing the business, can be a challenge.

We can help you implement certain strategies that should help create a healthier cash flow for your business.

- Contact your suppliers and ask for better terms based on spend

- Arrange where possible for your clients to pay by Direct Debit

Website Update Service

Changes in the business often occur daily. Waiting on your web developer to fit you in to make changes to your pricing structure, service offering or updating your latest blogs can be problematic from a time perspective and costly depending on the charge per update.

We provide you with regular day-to-day updates you might need, as and when you need them

- Supplier/Service provider comparisons and selection

Project Management Service

Our clients will generally have a clear idea on the project itself and where they want the project journey to end. It’s our role to manage the journey, the people and tasks that gets them there. Projects are often put on hold due to a lack of time or resources to complete them, started with good intentions but then left in various stages of completion.

How many projects do you have underway that could make a difference to your bottom line?

- Creation of a project plan, including timeline, process, people and other resources
- Setup/maintenance of online tools
- Delegating details of the project to various team members
- Communication of on-going project status to all team members
- Following-up with team members to ensure that “stuff gets done”
- Managing the budget
- Handling challenges as they arise
