What makes a Delocate Virtual Assistant special? Put simply; we’re all in the UK (Norwich, specifically) and we work with you to embed our assistants in YOUR team. We work hard to keep abreast of the latest best-practices in secretarial and administrative skills but crucially, also strive to learn everything we need to about your industry and your business.
We believe that to work with you effectively, your assistant or secretary must know you and your business extremely well. To this end, our assistants all carry out our full range of services including taking calls. You will be assigned only three of us so that we get to know you, your business and your customers inside out and become an extension of you and your existing team. (We assign three of us so that cover is always in place in case of holiday or illness).
There is no fixed-term contract, or requirement to agree to a number of hours per month – you can flex up and down as required. This allows you to use us as an extension of your existing admin team to absorb peaks and troughs in demand or make all of that our problem and not worry about having enough or too much work for a member of staff – not to mention all the complications of employment!
The services shown on this page are by no means an exhaustive list of what our admin-superheroes can do for you so if there’s something not shown here that you think we might be able to help with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss how we can save you time and improve your relationship with your business.
A robust record of meetings and appointments written up by an independent third party can be extremely valuable. Not only can they avoid conflict or uncertainty, but they can also serve as a rich repository of data to be mined in the future.
Taking calls and scheduling in appointments with clients and prospective clients while you’re on the road or already at an appointment is difficult at best and if you’re on the road or tools, potentially dangerous. Our team work closely with our clients to understand what’s best for them in terms of what sort of appointments are best at what time of day and use mapping software and a good dose of common sense to ensure consecutive appointments are not booked in totally different locations.
We started offering email management when one of our clients confessed to us he was working on the tools all day and waking up worrying about admin work at night. When he did he would often send a few emails in the small hours to try and catch up.
Our VA’s can process your mail however you wish, please just get in touch and we’d be very happy to discuss your requirements.
The importance of a company’s list (of customers) is widely understood but keeping that list up to date, tidy and compliant with legislation is not easy. Using the right CRM for your business is imperative as is not paying way over the odds for an expensive solution that is unnecessarily (even detrimentally) complex for your organisation. We can do as much as help you migrate CRM’s from one to another and cleanse your data in the process or just carry out regular maintenance, checking for duplicates or junk data, so you can be sure the statistics you’re analysing for your campaigns are valid and meaningful.
Data entry can be tedious, there’s no two ways about that. In the Delocate office, however, we have an emergency chocolate supply that can only be raided when someone has a data-entry task to do. We love an excuse to eat chocolate, so please do get in touch if you have some data you’d like us to meticulously transpose… We promise not to get the originals too chocolaty!
Content is King and it’s a great way of offering value to your clients. At Delocate, we compose thoroughly researched content for a whole range of platforms on a variety of topics tailored to you and your business. Our services include the writing of press releases, blog posts, newsletters, product descriptions, social media posts, lead magnets, email marketing campaigns, and sales page copy.
Should there be an apostrophe? Is it there, their or they’re?
If spending time on small details feels like a waste of your time, English isn’t your first language, or you just need to make absolutely sure you’ve got a specific document right, please get in touch to see how our eagle-eyed assistants can help. At Delocate, attention to detail is imperative and runs through everything we do, so you can be sure we won’t miss much! (If you find a typo, spelling, or grammatical error anywhere on our website, let us know and we’ll send you a token of our appreciation and respect!)
We are strong proponents of the paperless office principle and with all the mail we scan and file on a daily basis for our Virtual Address clients we are well-versed in digital filing systems. If you’ve been considering going paperless in your business, let us help give you a jump-start…
Every project should start with research. Our Virtual Assistants have become very adept at finding information for our clients as they have had plenty of practice! You can rest assured that the information you need for your projects will be diligently acquired and appraised using a variety of sources (including some unavailable on the general Web). Once compiled the information will be presented to you in an easy to digest form with all sources included and referenced.
If you find yourself facing an ever-growing inbox (physical or digital) that you just aren’t finding the time to tackle, we can help. We know time is your most valuable asset so not only will our Virtual Assistants help you sort out the immediate issue, but also help you to organise and systemise your workflow so that you can better keep on top of incoming work in future leaving you time to focus on your ‘income-generating tasks’ but crucially, without dropping the ball on anything.
Events are supposed to be an opportunity for you to show off, not make an exhibition of yourself! There’s lots to think about when organising events but you should be concentrating only on the production of the content for it. We can manage all of the detail for you – from bookings & payments management to liaising with the venue on your behalf. Also, we don’t believe the job ends when the event does; feedback is important, both in terms of making improvements for the next event, and also to provide testimonials for future marketing content. We can gather and collate this feedback for you.
