Timesavers Concierge, the rural concierge business based in the hidden gem that is the Teme Valley, has been up and running for the past 2 months and today we hit the top spot in the Google listings! Type in Timesavers Concierge and there we are right at the top of the page! To be fair we have been working our way up through the listings over the weeks but it is a milestone indeed for a small business with big aspirations but also a testament to the power of networking.
At this point we must give a big shout out to Stuart Allen, his vision and the team behind #WorcestershireHour; the weekly news and networking event for the Worcestershire area held on Twitter every Monday evening. We chose to launch Timesavers Concierge at the Worcestershire Hour Festival of Business at Stanbrook Abbey on 31st May 2014 and since that day we have built our Twitter following, gained contacts, clients and most significantly we have started to build our professional profile. We know, through our website statistics, that viewings of our website spike after every #Worcestershirehour session on a Monday evening. We get involved, join the debate and exchange information. It’s a great medium for learning and sharing but it seems it is also doing our google profile the power of good too!
So what else have we been up to over the past couple of months? Well one of the most significant things we have done is to work on our pitch. Maybe that sounds a little odd; surely you should have had your pitch sorted when you launched I hear you cry and yes…. we thought we had it nailed but it doesn’t always follow that a passionate belief in a concept will translate into a business proposition that will entice clients!
When we launched, the three partners were very clear that the primary aim was to be a genuine “timesaver”, to create a business dedicated to supporting individuals, SMEs, franchisees and sole traders in both their personal and their professional lives. Providing services which replicate the tasks that busy business owners would do themselves either in the domestic setting or at work if they had the time and /or the expertise. So there it is, in a nutshell; “we become you” wherever, whenever and for however long you need us. And it’s not just our team that thinks we could all do with a hand from time to time. The attached article from Enterprise Nation invites business owners to think about their core strengths and suggests outsourcing the other components. So if you are looking around for someone to support you and/or your business, look to us – we can help.
