Content Management Service for SMEs

Leave a comment

Small business owners and entrepreneurs are you using a content management service to keep your website up to date? If you have a website you will know how expensive they can be to maintain.

Your web designer would have created the site and taken care of all the technical stuff. But have they given you access to the content management system (CMS) so that you can maintain it yourself?

My guess is probably not, if you’re not technically minded. It can get very expensive asking your designer to do this for you as they often charge very high rates or daily fees.

This is where a content management service can help. Especially if you have to make subtle changes to wording, or add new content or plugins such as setting up a chat facility for instance.

Just give us the logins and show us around the system and we’ll get onto it straight away. We do it already for some of our long standing clients and our own website.

This is a brand new content management service – just one more thing your virtual assistant can do to help make your life easier. Take a look here.

Is your smallbiz visible?

Leave a comment

UK SMEs, Startups, Entrepreneurs, Smallbiz – how are people buying your products and services? How are they getting in touch primarily? Is it by telephone, Facebook messaging, Twitter direct messages, via your website or another means?

Do people still use the phone or are more and more people now using social media to get what they want?

Are you finding it easy to sell your services or products on line, or are you still using old fashioned methods? What is working for you?

Being in the virtual assistant and social media management business I think I know the answer but I’d be interested to hear your views as the dynamics have changed dramatically in the last 15 years of my business.


I have something to give away to 2 small businesses (smallbiz) who have the most interesting views or who are struggling to manage their time due to lack of resources.

It will depend on your answers and to what you need help with the most.

Entrepreneurs and start ups – so you have started a new business but can people find you on line? 

Perhaps you can’t afford a website but did you know with a Google My Business listing you get a free one?

A GMB website will give your business a head start amongst the competition in terms of visibility.

So entrepreneurs this means if you post content regularly you could easily creep up the listings for your local area. 

Also a Facebook page will compliment your business especially if your customers are consumers. Instagram works alongside Facebook and is a good place to post photos of all your fabulous products. 

Add your business to Twitter, so you can tweet short fire facts about your business.

Interact with your customers on Social Media to improve relations.

Get in touch to find out how we can set your business up on line. The platform we use posts to all of these so your message will be seen.

For a limited period you can get 50% off set up fees. We can also manage your sites on a monthly on going basis, such as dealing with enquiries, posting marketing content etc.

Then you need to use the different social media platforms correctly.

This is not always easy when you are so busy in the business.

Busy SMEs and Start Ups

Leave a comment

Being a SME or startup you may be struggling to keep on top of things.

You will have a limited budget so cannot always afford to hire staff.

An office temp maybe ‘tempting’ but can you afford to pay for the whole or half day?

Employing staff is not an option as you will have to pay for things like employee pension, sickness pay, holiday pay, maternity leave etc.

Maybe you’re getting sidetracked with phone calls and enquiries like most busy SMEs.

Or you’re fed up of being interrupted when you’re trying to work.

If you’re too busy working ‘in’ your business to focus on ‘building it’ then invest in a call answering service or virtual assistant.

The virtual assistant will take care of all the day to day tasks so you can focus on your main priorities.

Small Businesses – are you missing potential clients? If you’re busy on the road, in meetings, or otherwise unable to answer calls and enquiries then my guess is you probably are!

I would imagine as a SME you don’t have the budget to employ full time or even part time staff and although a temp is a ‘temp’ting idea, it’s still not cost effective as you have to pay for their time even if they’re sitting twiddling their thumbs.  Wouldn’t it be great if you had a virtual temp?

That is someone who can be your virtual receptionist or virtual assistant and deal with all those enquiries remotely and all you have to do is pay for the time they actually spend on your business, or better still a quarterly fee that includes so many calls per month? The latter is good if you only get a few and need simple message forwarding.

If you need a more involved assistant then an hourly rate is best and you only pay for their time, not the whole day! A virtual assistant can take your calls and deal with any email enquiries or social media enquiries which seems to be the way a lot of people get in touch these days – especially if you deal with the general public.

SMEs – got any street cred?

Leave a comment

SMEs – what does your shop front say about you? Most start ups and SMEs will start working from home and while this is all well and good for cost savings, using your home address is not always practical.

For instance a client wishes to come and see you, but you work in your bedroom and your house is tiny or your children and pets are at home making a noise. You don’t really want to have visitors to you home.

While you would just go a meet your client outside or hire a meeting room, you still have to advertise your home address. You may not want customers just turning up unannounced or even knowing where you live.

If you live in an area that doesn’t reflect your business image wouldn’t it be better to have a prestigious London address on your website or headed paper?  First impressions count whether you like it or not.

For the rest of December we are waiving our £50 deposit on our London registered office or virtual office business address in the Royal Borough of Chelsea and Kensington.

Small Business Owners

Small Business Owners are you giving value to your customers by given them your full attention? Do you feel like a ‘Jack of All Trades, Master of None’!

You may have a few good customers but need a few more to make your business viable.  However, because you’re so busy with the day to day stuff, such as accounting, chasing suppliers, processing orders, social media marketing and the day to day running of the office you fall short on customer service.  This in turn affects your credibility and reputation.

Maybe you have already received a few complaints but not because you don’t want to offer a good service, but because you’re simply too busy and not focused on your clients’ needs. You can’t afford to employ staff and have little other resources so what do you do?

This is where a Virtual Assistant comes in and can add value to your business by taking the pressure off you without breaking your bank balance by freeing up your time so you can do what you do best.

Managing your new small business is tough enough so why not get the help you need to free up your time and save on staff costs by utlising a virtual PA.  A Virtual Assistant can help with most back office tasks such as social media, administration, call answering, data entry.  Save costs on hiring staff by using a VPA.

Also, it’s never a good idea to use your home address for business, instead try a virtual office address.  You can choose from 2 prestigious addresses  in London.  Why not enhance that by getting an answering service to take those calls when you’re too busy.

If you’re a busy surveyor, lawyer, HR professional or private investigator you could benefit from having your recordings transcribed professionally with an audio transcription service.  You talk, we type.  Just send us your files and we’ll do the rest.
