Virtual Assistants offer a practical solution to a growing to do list and running out of enough hours in the day. See our blog for the Top 10 things a VA can help with. However VA solutions are often based in countries such as The Philippines and Africa. Choosing Slice for virtual assistance as we are based in the UK and available locally can offer several advantages, especially for businesses or individuals operating in and targeting UK markets.
Here’s why it makes sense to choose Slice for your Virtual Assistance Support:
Time Zone Alignment
We are here in Yorkshire and therefore working in the same time zone as you and your customers and suppliers. No confusion of timings of meetings, out of sync replies – just real time (honest!) communication,
Virtual Assistance Support with Cultural Understanding
We could continue with the Yorkshire theme here, but in reality, our team come from all over the UK (we just so have happened to make Yorkshire and its surrounding areas our home) so we can communicate in a tone and style that seems familiar and natural to your customers. No worries about wording getting lost in translation or that pesky ‘z’ replacing a ‘s’ in some words!
Local Knowledge
We know all the good spots for arranging meetings, organising local events and even good connections that might be useful for tasks we support with. We also understand the system and processes that might affect your business such HMRC, Companies House, NHS, Royal Mail, etc. Also understanding local nuances are key when you outsource tasks that involve marketing, PR, or content creation.
Legal and Data Compliance
A serious point! We understand and comply with UK GDPR and other data protection laws and your data stays within the UK, which may be a legal or ethical requirement for your business.
Virtual Assistance Support as Human Beings!
We get it, we’ve grown our business too and we understand how having VA support you can trust to outsource your tasks to is a big deal. We practice what we preach and outsource our own to do list to the experts! We want to become part of your business, a face your team know. We will come to your office or meet you for a coffee to go over your needs and desires and come up with a solution that works for you. So if you would like to know more then please get in touch.
