Why employ when you could outsource for less!

Posted on 16th January 2019 at 16:10

A growing business is always a good thing. However, your staff may be stretched thin with time-consuming daily activities. Expanding your business doesn’t always mean adding more headcount. Hiring new positions is expensive; outsourcing is more cost effective.

Why Outsource?

When you use a firm to take care of your admin tasks, your current staff can focus on their core competencies. Working with a knowledgeable, reliable company, you can offload work like telephone answering, email monitoring, diary management, database management, GDPR implementation, and social media management. With extra support for these fundamental tasks, you won’t feel so far behind on all the day-to-day necessities of running a business.

GDPR - Bell4Business help not hype

Posted on 3rd January 2019 at 11:36

As a new year begins, most have become well acquainted with the new EU rule, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since it became law in May 2018, there has been considerable conversation about compliance.

Many small companies may still be struggling to comply as it requires several obligations around data security and data usage.

At Bell4Business, we’ve been able to help many local businesses adhere to and understand the GDPR.

Easy points to consider .............................

Late Payments Cost More Than You Think

Posted on 11th June 2018 at 09:39

As a small business, on-time payments are critical to your cash flow. Unfortunately, they aren’t always received. This could put your small business at risk. Even the slightest adjustment can cause major challenges.

When payments become late, you have to put in even more work to chase those payments. That includes emails and phone calls. Late payments really cost you more than you think.

The risk is real

Research has revealed just how risky late payments are for small businesses. In fact, research notes that 84% of small firms are paid late. Getting paid sooner keeps cash flow steady and consistent. While you may employ software to track billing and payments, you probably don’t have the time to stay on top your accounts receivable.

Organic Social Media Growth: Why It STILL Matters

Posted on 24th May 2018 at 10:15

In the realm of social media, there’s what you earn based on the content posted and the conversations you engage in. Then there’s what you pay for via social media ads.

Obviously, social media platforms want you to use paid ads. It’s how they make their money after all (topping over £30 billion globally in 2017).

While social media ads will inflate your numbers and make your reach and impressions seem sky high, that doesn’t always translate to leads or conversions.

Paid ads give you a short-term boost; organic is for the long-term. It’s what builds communities.

Paid Can’t Build Communities

So, with such a focus on paid, does organic even matter anymore?

It absolutely does...................

Internet trolls? Who could be bothered???

Posted on 8th May 2018 at 18:20

Having recently been the target of an internet troll, I thought I would put together a few thoughts and pointers that would hopefully go some way to helping those, who maybe looking at the problem with much more concern than they really should.

Let’s start by turning a negative in to a positive, this is step one!

First and foremost, please ignore them! No two ways about this! Trolls want attention, they want a reaction and to know that they have bothered you. Well I would as a reputable business and person, everyone who knows you will really know you and your integrity. Your contacts will just ignore silly comments a troll wishes to make and know they are meaningless!

Chances are your network will have been built up over a period of time and along the way you build lasting and sustainable relationships with real people. Additionally, a proportion of your network will have had to deal with such stupidity in one form or another at some point and as in my case will even offer kind words of support.

New addition to the Bell4Business team!

Posted on 25th April 2018 at 16:31

Bell4Business based in East Yorkshire has motioned growth ambitions by appointing a second full-time Administration Assistant.

Eve Sarris joined the company 6 weeks ago and has proved a valuable addition to the team already.

Speaking to Louise Bell, Director “I have always seen the value of employing Apprentices and I’m so pleased with how Eve has settled in. I have worked with and on behalf of YH Training Services in Hull and I have been really impressed how they handle their recruitment/training processes. They were a natural choice when I decided to take my business to the next level as they also helped me recruit fellow Business Administrator, Mia Staves”.

Established in 2016 the business has grown from Louise working for several local businesses to now employing Mia and Eve full time.
