During a motivational workshop held for their contractors last week, the firm shared some of their top time management tips and encouraged their workforce to fully utilise their time to increase their chances of achieving their goals.

AtlasCorp believes that entrepreneurs who can master the art of effective time management are not only able to dramatically increase their likelihood of success but are also able to improve their decision-making ability and reduce their stress levels.

About AtlasCorp - http://www.atlascorp.co.uk/about-us/

According to a study named ‘Unlocking the UK’s Daily Savings Time’, researchers found that 56% of workers feel overwhelmed. The study revealed that three main factors contributed to this were a lack of planning, changing priorities and limited resources.

AtlasCorp were fascinated by these findings and have reaffirmed their commitment to helping young professionals reduces these factors in their everyday activities. As the workshop progressed, the firm shared some of their useful time management tips.

Set detailed, step-by-step goals - AtlasCorp explained that to maximise time, professionals should aim to establish a series of goals that each have precise deadlines or milestones. The firm stated that this could be anything from the number of people they approach in the field or they way they approach their customer service technique.

AtlasCorp believes that by dissecting goals into smaller and more achievable targets, professionals will be more likely to make positive steps towards their bigger picture.

Write down your plan - For many individuals, writing down their plans, goals and actions make it easier to visualise achievement. AtlasCorp is now advising all of their contractors to write down their goals and the top things that they want to achieve each day and then include some key contributing factors that will help them get to where they want to be.

Don’t multi-task - Experts at the Psychonomic Bulletin and Review found that only 2.5% of people can effectively multi-task and are still able to do well at each of the selected tasks. The Institute of Psychiatry at the University of London also found that a person’s IQ falls 10 points when they are overly stimulated by emails, texts and phone calls. AtlasCorp were astounded by these findings and believe that young professionals should try and avoid the temptation to take on multiple tasks and should instead, focus on doing one task to the very best of their ability.

<![CDATA[ The 7 Ways You Are Sabotaging Your Goal Setting According to Matt Stewart of AtlasCorp ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/the-7-ways-you-are-sabotaging-your-goal-setting-according-to-matt-stewart-of-atlascorp-84275b83f26f182a1bc4af4520e5df2d/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/the-7-ways-you-are-sabotaging-your-goal-setting-according-to-matt-stewart-of-atlascorp-84275b83f26f182a1bc4af4520e5df2d/ Wednesday 23 November, 2016

Setting and working towards goals is key to achieving business success. Outsourced sales and event marketing firm AtlasCorp investigates why it seems impossible for some to accomplish what they aim for.

AtlasCorp insists that goal setting is a key skill for success as an entrepreneur. Nevertheless, there are people who put all their efforts in accomplishing what they aim for but they do not succeed. Matt Stewart, Managing Director of AtlasCorp, says: “Sometimes even hard work doesn’t seem to pay off, which can lead to disappointment and frustration. The reason may be that you sabotage your success by setting the wrong goal.” AtlasCorp lists the seven most common reasons why people may not achieve their objectives.

About AtlasCorp: http://www.atlascorp.co.uk/

1. Unrealistic goals

Goals should certainly be ambitious and challenging; however it is important to ensure they are realistic to achieve. Otherwise it is easy to lose interest.

2. Unspecific goals

If the focus of a set goal is too broad, it means ending up trying to do a lot of things at the same time without actually accomplishing anything. AtlasCorp says, in order to see the progress, goals must be as specific as possible.

3. Goals with no time frame

A goal without a timeline discourages a sense of urgency and accountability. It is therefore crucial to set goals that are time bound.

4. Focus on other people’s opinions

Concentrating too much on what others think can be distractive. AtlasCorp recommends: “Focus on what is important to you and make it happen. This is your goal.”

5. Negative attitude

Negativity is the killer of any accomplishment, believes AtlasCorp: “Think positive and you can achieve anything,” insists Matt Stewart of AtlasCorp.

6. Denying the importance of failure

Every goal has an element of failure. There is no even road to success. It will come with hurdles along the way. AtlasCorp points out that failure is an important part on the way to success as long as learning is taken from the experience, which will bring someone closer to the end goal.

7. Setting a goal and that’s it

Some make the mistake to believe that by setting a goal or target the work is done. AtlasCorp insists that it is vital to review goals and accomplishments on a regular basis and to adapt them to changing conditions if necessary.

AtlasCorp is an outsourced sales and event marketing company with offices in Sheffield, Nottingham and Liverpool. The firm hosts monthly workshops on effective goal setting and encourages entrepreneurs to drive their business forward by offering the relevant support and guidance.

After recently returning from a trip to America where they met with leading industry experts and business moguls, Atlas Outsourcing have offered their ultimate guide to travelling to the USA to help make business trips a breeze.

About Atlas Outsourcing Ltd.: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com/about-us/

Atlas Outsourcing are keen travellers as they believe building a strong network in business can create opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be accessible. Atlas Outsourcing’s CEO Matt Stewart has recently returned from a business trip to the USA. Visiting Miami, the businessman was given the opportunity to meet and gather advice from inspiring entrepreneur Grant Cardone. During the meeting, Matt Stewart and his associates from the UK were able to ask Cardone about his own experiences within the sales sector and gain his insights into common issues faced by today’s entrepreneurs. Matt Stewart also visited New York City and Baltimore in 2015 where he had the opportunity to attend the annual sales and marketing awards as well as business conferences.

Speaking about business travel, Matt Steward states, “Often business travel has strict deadlines to meet and entrepreneurs need to be confident in their ability to maintain ‘work mode’. They should aim to maximise opportunities during a shorter time frame and by setting up a business itinerary beforehand allows time to be saved through carefully planned travel arrangements.”

To help entrepreneurs prepare for business trips, Atlas Outsourcing offer their top travel tips:

Pack Light – The firm recommends packing essentials and business attire in hand luggage sized cases. This reduces time spent waiting for checked-in items to be removed from the plane and alleviates risk of lost luggage, causing unnecessary stress and delays to the trip.

Business Cards – For a networking trip these will be essential in delivering a lasting impression on potential business contacts. Entrepreneurs should select a clear crisp design that best represents their personal brand. The firm recommends investing in a business card case to ensure they are kept in tip top condition.

Chargers – To maintain work tasks it will be important to bring suitable chargers and location-specific converters. For frequent travellers, the firm recommends investing in a multi-charger to ensure devices are readily available when needed.

Clothes - Select a wardrobe that offers a colour scheme that creates multiple outfit options - neutral colours work best. The firm recommends packing easy-iron clothes as hotel appliances can often be poorer quality than those at home. Packing a pair of leisure shoes for in between travelling to meetings for comfort is also recommended.

Atlas Outsourcing is an ambitious outsourced sales and event marketing firm in Nottingham that concentrates on delivering face-to-face sales and marketing event campaigns. The firm’s personalised approach not only provides great customer service but also new custom for their clients’ brands.

Customer acquisition specialists, Atlas Outsourcing are urging brands to prioritise their customer service, and have revealed 10 tips for delivering a standard of customer service brands can be proud of.

As an outsourced sales and marketing solution, many UK brands have put their trust in Atlas Outsourcing over the years to deliver an exceptional customer experience, and this is a responsibility that the firm does not take lightly ‘ we’re on the customer front line and businesses rely on us to connect them with their audience, if we don’t have high standards in place it would not only have a huge impact our clients, it will affect our business too’ states a spokesperson from Atlas Outsourcing.

About Atlas Outsourcing: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com/about-us/

The firm’s USP, which has helped them establish themselves as a market leader in customer acquisition and retention is their commitment to face to face customer service, and their ability to form meaningful bonds with the customers they meet. In the last 10 years brands have been looking to technology for assistance in streamlining their customer service strategies. Whilst this has allowed many brands to improve efficiency and increase the number of customers they are able to handle at any one time, it has also led to a drop in the quality and attentiveness of the customer service they offer. Atlas Outsourcing were established in response to this, and by taking things back to basics and focusing on one on one communication have been able to offer both brands and customers a more personal and meaningful experience.

With the cost of acquiring a new customer famously being reported to be five times higher than that of retaining an existing one, Atlas Outsourcing are eager to offer brands assistance in providing a quality customer experience that keeps customers coming back for more.

Lead By Example

Great customer service begins with great leadership. If those at the top are enthusiastic and attentive to customers it sets a standard for all.

Have Core Values in Place

This ensures there is consistency within the customer experience and that all representatives understand what is expected of them.

Treat people well

If a business treats their employees well, these employees with treat customers with the same courtesy. Happiness is infectious, and ensuring team members feel valued will motivate them to go above and beyond expectation.

Focus on the Long term

Short term incentives, such as bonuses might inspire a burst of positive results, but brands risk performance falling once the incentive is over. ‘Looking to the long term and offering incentives and programmes that reflect this outlook will maintain momentum, this is why we reward our contractors opportunities to further their progression and build a brighter future within the industry’ states Atlas Outsourcing.

Build Trust

Using a customer’s name, taking a genuine interest and offering solutions that work for them and aren’t just a thinly veiled attempt to make a sale are key to building trust. Brands need to put themselves in the customer’s shoes and appreciate every customer is different.

Listen

The best salespeople spend 80 percent of their time listening, not talking.

Little Things Matter

Small details and kind gestures are often what customers remember the most.

Help them find a Solution

If a brand can’t help a customer, pointing them to a business which can will earn them great respect. Whilst they may not have made a sale, their assistance will stick in a customer’s mind and bring them back in the future.

Appreciate

Brands should always be aware of how special it is that a customer has chosen their business over their competitors. Openly acknowledging this appreciation will help customers to feel valued.

Treat Customers Better

If a new product arrives that would be of interest to certain customers – tell them. Keep loyal customer informed of new developments and invite them to try new services ahead of general release. Make them feel special.

Atlas Outsourcing foster entrepreneurship, and to help aide new entrepreneurs on the path to success, the direct marketing firm has unveiled this guide outlining some valuable tips.

About Atlas Outsourcing Ltd.: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com/about-us/

Atlas Outsourcing believes that it is essential for startups and small businesses to shorten the learning curve for first-time entrepreneurs as much as possible, and believe this can be achieved through teaching entrepreneurial skills and instilling a successful mindset from a young age.

The firm believes that it is important for first time entrepreneurs to set themselves up for the best start possible by gaining advice from successful entrepreneurs. Their aim is to help budding entrepreneurs get past the early hurdles a little more quickly – avoiding some of the common pitfalls along the way. Here, the firm discusses 3 main tips that they believe will do just this:

Ask a lot of questions

Atlas Outsourcing believes that many young entrepreneurs are guilty of assuming things without asking an experienced head for advice or guidance. Sometimes they can be scared and think that their questions might be stupid, or might highlight their youthful nature. The firm believes that in reality, speaking up and asking questions will save both money and time, resulting in a faster progression – and shows an individual’s interest to investors, potential customers and business partners.

Get a co-founder or mentor

The expression ‘two heads are better than one’ can also be true in entrepreneurial environments, where a partner may fill in those areas where the other lacks knowledge, expertise, skills and connections. Atlas Outsourcing states that it’s not always easy finding the right partner or mentor, but argues that it pays dividends to put in the effort to locate one as they can provide a platform of support along entrepreneurial journeys.

Don’t forget to have fun

Atlas Outsourcing believe that many entrepreneurs get so engrossed in their business that they often forget to enjoy the ride their on. Of course it can be pretty demanding and intense, but the firm argues that occasional self-reflection will go a long way, and could even help acknowledge another perspective or course of direction for the business.

Atlas Outsourcing is an outsourced sales and marketing firm based in Nottingham. The firm specialises in a unique form of marketing, which allows them to develop personalised campaigns on behalf of their clients’ brands. By taking these campaigns directly to consumers via face-to-face marketing techniques the firm is able to encourage long-lasting and personal business relationships between brand and consumer. In turn, this leads to increased customer acquisition, brand awareness and brand loyalty for their clients.

From the classroom to the field, Atlas Outsourcing’s representatives undergo an unrivalled, interactive and high-touch training program which gives their contractors the skills they need to succeed at engaging customers. The firm supports budding entrepreneurs through their business development opportunity, and offer workshops and seminars on how to set and achieve targets productively.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Inspired by “Tortoise Theory” Whilst Developing Business Expansion Plans ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-inspired-by-tortoise-theory-whilst-developing-business-expansion-plans-f8a7ad32424be10d7fdd1040f56fc024/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-inspired-by-tortoise-theory-whilst-developing-business-expansion-plans-f8a7ad32424be10d7fdd1040f56fc024/ Tuesday 17 May, 2016

Nottingham-based Atlas Outsourcing has applied some aspects of the “tortoise theory” into their business expansion plans and advises other businesses to also get on board with the valuable lessons that can be taken from this childhood story, ‘the Tortoise & the Hare’.

About Atlas Outsourcing: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com/about-us/

Every child knows the story of the Tortoise and the Hare – the pair were having a race and of course the hare with his exceptional speed was winning. However, the hare decided he was so far ahead that he no longer had to try so he decided to take a little nap, allowing the tortoise to overtake him and win the race.

Atlas Outsourcing believes that some aspects of this theory can be applied to business as well. Whilst a business owner cannot be slow in this competitive world of business, they must have dynamic speed based on circumstances and challenges on the way. This is playing the race intelligently like the Tortoise. Atlas Outsourcing points out that business owners can also learn from the Hare by attacking everything head on but instead of falling short on resources or burning out, they should have the determination of the Tortoise and make sure they see things through.

Atlas Outsourcing has revealed how they have been inspired by the ‘Tortoise theory’ which suggests expanding businesses in a phased manner, based on the results of the previous phase and then moving forward to the next phase to ensure long term sustenance of business. Business owners must also plan to dominate the competition. The firm highlight that if a business’ goal is to merely compete with the competition they will cap themselves at that competition’s ability. Atlas Outsourcing states how business owners should always strive to be better than the competition. Atlas Outsourcing has applied this theory to their own expansion plans.

With sales techniques developing beyond a pushy salesman with a clipboard, Atlas Outsourcing has revealed their tips for using sales to improve the customer experience and boost the reputation of your brand.

Atlas Outsourcing have noted how people often have a preconception of sales and salespeople in their minds and this is often a negative preconception. Managing Director, Matt Stewart points out 'sales appears to have become a dirty word', however he reminds businesses that without salespeople bringing business through the door, a company will not succeed.

Here, Atlas Outsourcing has revealed their top tips for boosting the reputation of sales and making your brand's sales experience one that consumers truly enjoy:

Do your research Atlas Outsourcing recommend starting by learning as much as you can about your industry and the people in i? “The more you know, the better you'll be able to present your product when the time comes," highlights Matt Stewart.

Get in front of prospects It is vital to first identify those who need what you're offering, state the firm. Find out where they are and target sales efforts effectively.

Listen more than you talk Successful sales will not start with pressuring a reluctant customer into buying something they have no need for. To get better results, ask questions about the prospect's problems and really listen to their needs. Then it will be easier to position yourself effectively, outline Atlas Outsourcing.

Get into the customer's mind It is important to personalise your approach to suit each individual prospect, not a one-size-fits-all attitude. Atlas Outsourcing recommend spending time getting to know their personal priorities and professional preferences, followed by what they're looking for when they consider products like what you're offering.

Create the demand Customers will buy products if they are sure that product will help them solve a problem – and do it quickly and easily. The firm advise salespeople to show how their product or service will make life easier for the prospect.

Follow up Don't pester the prospect, but regularly check in with them to find out what they need. “You don't want them to forget about you," states Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing.

Accept rejection gracefully Rejection is – and always will be – part of business. “The sooner you move on, the sooner you'll make another sale," adds Mr Stewart.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Reveal the Unlikely Ways Professionals can Benefit from Procrastination ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-reveal-the-unlikely-ways-professionals-can-benefit-from-procrastination-de2a36be0663f549b986f09c85ba5bbe/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-reveal-the-unlikely-ways-professionals-can-benefit-from-procrastination-de2a36be0663f549b986f09c85ba5bbe/ Tuesday 5 January, 2016

We are constantly being bombarded with warnings that procrastination is incredibly dangerous and can hamper success, but is this strictly true? Atlas Outsourcing has revealed some interesting ways procrastination can help a business professional excel.

About Atlas Outsourcing: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com/

Most of the time in business, being the fastest and most productive provides a huge competitive advantage, allowing individuals to seize more opportunities and resolve potential problems with little stress. As such, procrastination is often portrayed as the enemy of business success as it is claimed it directly impacts productivity. As well as allowing for motivation to waver by distracting the mind, procrastination is also believed to effect memory, by forcing the brain to work harder and remember information under pressure. Whilst in this aspect procrastination may seem like dangerous territory, sales and marketing firm Atlas Outsourcing believe that if conducted in the correct way, business professionals can actually benefit from procrastination. The firm believe that taking time off to free the mind can be an important process for hard working entrepreneurs. Trying to accomplish too much in a short space of time can lead to poor decision making and cause an entrepreneur to 'burn out' under the pressure. Putting off certain tasks and allowing themselves to enjoy some down time can help an entrepreneur to stay level headed and perform better in the workplace.

To help professionals identify how to use procrastination in a positive way and not let it impact their drive to succeed, Atlas Outsourcing have outlined 4 important steps below.

1) Choose which tasks to procrastinate with carefully

Not every task is given the same priority, and for procrastination to work in a professional's favour it's important for them to be able to identify which tasks they can afford to put off. Instead of lounging around, professionals can even use these high priority tasks as a source of procrastination, as completing these tasks can offer them the opportunity to 'put off' more mundane, unnecessary tasks.

2) Avoid Overloaded Schedules

It's human nature to optimistically overload our schedules and assume we can do more than we can. An overloaded schedule causes nothing but stress and sometimes putting off those tasks which can be classed as 'wishful thinking' can help a professional be more productive when it comes to the more important commitments. Purging an overloaded schedule is good for the mind.

3) Procrastinate to Make Better Decisions

In business people often feel rushed when tasked with making a decision. Putting a decision off for as long as time will allow will offer a professional the time to research their options and approach the situation with a clear and calm mind.

4) Procrastination Fuels Creativity

Procrastination provides precious time to think, which can help a professional tap into their more creative side and come up with innovative ideas that they simply would have missed out on before. Professionals shouldn't get angry with themselves for procrastinating; if their mind needs a rest to refuel they should let it.

Atlas Outsourcing is a thriving sales and event marketing firm that helps businesses to reconnect with their target market through face-to-face communication. Meeting with customers directly, the firm are able to improve customer relationships for their clients by providing a more personalised and memorable customer experience, which drives sales and allows their clients to secure a positive market reputation.

Working with many young professionals, Atlas Outsourcing regularly takes the time to educate on the subject to balancing work and rest. The firm believe that professionals can stay on top of their game by allowing themselves the time to recharge, and are committed to organising regular social events outside the workplace.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing reveals 3 reasons why entrepreneurship is great ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-reveals-3-reasons-why-entrepreneurship-is-great-d8d62a32606f4e1b62dd921c76c5104a/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-reveals-3-reasons-why-entrepreneurship-is-great-d8d62a32606f4e1b62dd921c76c5104a/ Wednesday 25 November, 2015

Sales and marketing firm Atlas Outsourcing have revealed why they believe entrepreneurship is the greatest career choice for many business professionals.

Atlas Outsourcing have noted how more and more people are becoming entrepreneurs and how this career choice is becoming increasingly popular among young people. With more resources available to start-up founders and an increasingly stable economy, aspiring entrepreneurs are no longer just dreaming about creating their own business but they are going out and pursuing these dreams.

About Atlas Outsourcing: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com/

Atlas Outsourcing believes that entrepreneurship is a fantastic career choice because it gives people the opportunity to be creative and work on something they are passionate about. There is also much more freedom as an entrepreneur as you can dictate your own working hours and how many people you should employ to help you on a project. Many people enjoy being their own boss and this is something which entrepreneurship makes happen, states Matt Stewart, Owner and Managing Director of Atlas Outsourcing. The firm also believe that if you are willing to work hard and invest the time you can also earn more than in a typical 9-5 role.

Atlas Outsourcing encourages entrepreneurship by offering a business development opportunity to their self-employed contractors. Each individual is given the opportunity to attend optional workshops which can help them to develop and expand their skill sets in areas including sales, marketing, leadership, financing, hosting an interview, choosing a team, and motivating a team – all skills which successful entrepreneurs must possess.

Here, the firm has revealed the 3 reasons why they believe entrepreneurship is the greatest:

There is no limit on what you can do When you choose to become an entrepreneur there is absolutely no limit as to what you can achieve. The only person who can dictate what you do is yourself, and that includes your level of achievement and the difference you make in your industry, highlights Atlas Outsourcing. In a corporate setting creativity can sometimes be locked down but as an entrepreneur your creativity is free to flow.

You can make a greater impact As an entrepreneur, your ability to change the world and create a movement to make the world a better place is extraordinary. Entrepreneurs create something which was once missing from the world, something that improves our everyday lives. Not every entrepreneur will become the next Richard Branson or Mark Zuckerberg but every entrepreneur does have the chance and potential to fill a major void in their local communities, points out Atlas Outsourcing.

Dreaming is at the focal point. Without dreams and aspirations for the future there is nothing. Entrepreneurship allows to you to realize those dreams and accomplish something great, which you can call your own, reveals Atlas Outsourcing. Instead of carrying out someone else's dream, the entrepreneur builds a team around them to carry out his or her vision.

Atlas Outsourcing is an outsourced sales and marketing firm based in Nottingham. The firm specialises in personalised direct marketing techniques on behalf of their clients' brands. By connecting with consumers on a face-to-face basis the firm are able to encourage long-lasting and personal business relationships between brand and consumer. This often leads to increased customer acquisition, brand awareness and brand loyalty for their clients.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Reviews the Reasons Behind the Disappearance of Some of the Most Iconic Brands ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-reviews-the-reasons-behind-the-disappearance-of-some-of-the-most-iconic-brands-297927007b0c83d24193790eeb75a95d/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-reviews-the-reasons-behind-the-disappearance-of-some-of-the-most-iconic-brands-297927007b0c83d24193790eeb75a95d/ Thursday 12 November, 2015

Atlas Outsourcing in Nottingham discusses the importance of developing a longevity brand, and reviews the reasons why some of America's most iconic brands disappeared from society.

Over the past decades, many legendary brands have vanished from society, such as US Airways, Pan Am, Blockbuster, Enron, Woolworth's and General Foods to name a few. Possibilities for disappearance vary. Atlas Outsourcing, one of Nottingham's leading direct sales and event marketing firms, explains that constantly changing conditions on the market are a common reason for brands to struggle for survival. This may have an impact on consumer behaviour and a decline in sales. It is therefore crucial for businesses to stay close with their customers and continuously invent in order to stay ahead of competitors and develop a longevity brand, adds Atlas Outsourcing.

About Atlas Outsourcing : http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com/

In 2012, US Airways merged with American Airlines to become the world's largest airline, under the condition that they would adopt its partner's name. “This decision was made for the good of the business and to ensure the company grows and prospers in the future," explains Atlas Outsourcing. There are however a number of other brands that disappeared because they had to close down.

Pan American World Airways were affected by two major events over which they had little control. In 1988, the airline firm was hit by a tragic terrorist bombing of its Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The second event was an increase in fuel prices due to the Gulf War. As a consequence, the firm filed for bankruptcy in January 1991.

Due to ever changing market conditions, businesses must constantly invent and find ways to adjust accordingly in order to achieve business growth. Atlas Outsourcing says companies have to adapt to rising consumer demands, increasing competition, rising costs that lead to higher selling prices and as a result a decline in sales.

In order to create a sustainable brand that can overcome those challenges, business owners must ensure it has enough room to evolve while remaining true to its vision and foundation and being able to adapt to its local area. Atlas Outsourcing recommends gathering constant feedback from consumers to understand their needs and buying behaviour.

Based in Nottingham, Atlas Outsourcing raises brand awareness on their clients' behalf by running promotional event campaigns. “We speak with consumers in person and build a long-term relationship between them and our clients," says Atlas Outsourcing. “We then pass on this valuable information to our clients who have time to create solutions accordingly and invent new strategies or products to stay ahead of their competition."

Due to the firm's success, Atlas Outsourcing's clients have requested to be represented nationwide. Plans to expand overseas are also currently under discussion.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Outline Why Graduates Should Head for Start-ups ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-outline-why-graduates-should-head-for-start-ups-6e77add5c9d6fb125fc11df769f60b34/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-outline-why-graduates-should-head-for-start-ups-6e77add5c9d6fb125fc11df769f60b34/ Friday 21 August, 2015

The growing skills shortage makes it challenging for small businesses to recruit the right people. Atlas Outsourcing outlines why they believe graduates are the right fit for start-ups and existing small businesses in order to gain the relevant skills to move their career forward and drive business success.

New research undertaken by Rise-To reveals that there are similarities between entrepreneurs and graduates when it comes to attitude and ambition. Nevertheless, despite the growing number of start-up businesses in the UK, smaller businesses still find it difficult to attract new talent. Atlas Outsourcing say: "There is this misconception that larger companies look better on the CV and can help with faster career progression and salaries; however we believe that graduates perfectly fit in a start-up business." In fact, graduates who choose to work for a small business have the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where they can gather a wider insight in a broad range of skills.

About Atlas Outsourcing :http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com

The Rise-To study shows that people working in smaller companies often have a role with more flexibility and responsibility than in larger organisations. "The structured hierarchy in big companies often stops employees from discovering what is happening beyond their role," explain Atlas Outsourcing. In small businesses, people can gain more exposure into further aspects of the business, such as sales and marketing, operations, finance or human resources and be part of decision-making processes. This first-hand experience is a significant motivator and drives engagement, say Atlas Outsourcing.

Small businesses can also benefit from graduates. "Students are ambitious, motivated to learn and ready to hit the ground running with their careers. They are full of energy, which is exactly what you need as a business owner to drive business success," say Atlas Outsourcing. In order to attract graduates, Atlas Outsourcing suggest that small businesses should be constantly recruiting by offering a development programme. This way, they are constantly seeking new talent rather than trying to find somebody when there is a need. In addition to that, Atlas Outsourcing recommend small businesses to be visible for potential recruits by visiting universities. "Look at the people in your company that started from the bottom and have developed further to a more senior role. They are your best advertisement," say Atlas Outsourcing.

Based in Reading and Liverpool, Atlas Outsourcing are an outsourced sales and event marketing company. The firm offers a Business Development Programme for motivated individuals who want to gain the relevant skills in order to start their own business. The programme prepares graduates for business life and covers topics such as sales and marketing, networking, finance, human resources, mentoring and campaign management. Good news for graduates, Atlas Outsourcing are currently planning to expand into further locations within the UK by the end of the year.

<![CDATA[ Improve Your Reliability Factor by Using Atlas Outsourcing Ltd’s Advice ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/improve-your-reliability-factor-by-using-atlas-outsourcing-ltds-advice-a82d087afc6ad7dc16695ccc4dbf6854/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/improve-your-reliability-factor-by-using-atlas-outsourcing-ltds-advice-a82d087afc6ad7dc16695ccc4dbf6854/ Wednesday 5 August, 2015

Reliability is one of the most sought after factors for employers and at Atlas Outsourcing Ltd it is one of the key elements they look for. Direct marketing specialists based in Liverpool, Atlas Outsourcing Ltd have outlined 8 ways to become more reliable.

Atlas Outsourcing Ltd strongly believe that a reliable business is run by reliable people. "Customers will continue to make business with a firm they can rely on," says Matt Stewart, Managing Director of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. "If they feel let down however, they will turn away and surely tell their family and friends about their experience." Reliability starts with every single person in the business and is crucial to the daily success. In fact, research reveals that reliable individuals are more confident, find it easier to foster relationships, live with integrity and carry a clear conscience.

About Atlas Outsourcing Ltd: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com

Atlas Outsourcing Ltd have listed eight attributes that make individuals reliable. "Being reliable is not rocket science. Anybody who may struggle finding or keeping jobs or friendships, may want to ask themselves if their colleagues, friends or partners find they are reliable," say Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. The firm believes that anybody can learn how to be reliable:

1. Prioritise workload

Individuals can give the impression to be unreliable when they do not know how to prioritise their workload. "Think about the deadlines you have to meet and prioritise your work accordingly to the importance of the tasks," says Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. This will help individuals deliver results when they are due.

2. Never over-promise

Atlas Outsourcing Ltd live by the statement: "Under-promise, then over-deliver". Over-promising raises expectations in others. When the task cannot be fulfilled as promised, others may be disappointed. By delivering more than expected however, others will be impressed.

3. Learn how to say No

Some people have difficulties saying no because they want to help out their colleagues or fulfil all customer queries as quickly as possible. "As honourable as this may be, it is often impossible to manage everything at the same time. Imagine the disappointment afterwards," says Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. In today's busy work environment it is important to learn how to say no sometimes and focus on priorities.

4. Communication

"Communication is key," find Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. It is always important to constantly communicate with others. "If you are running late for an appointment, call ahead to let others know. If you are working on a project, make sure that all information is shared in order to avoid any negative surprises. If you cannot resolve a customer query immediately, keep in touch and inform them of the reason. Keep them updated," recommends Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. By keeping people informed they know what to expect and feel they are being looked after.

5. Follow through

In order to demonstrate reliability, it is important to follow through from start to finish. "No matter what you do in life, it is crucial to follow through until the end. Reliable people don't look for excuses not to finish what they started. They just get on with it," says Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd.

6. Be truthful

"Being honest may sound easy. Ask yourself when you participated the last time in gossip talk or told a lie to someone," says Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. "Giving people the impression you are not telling the truth means that they will see you as a source of unreliable information." In order to build trust it is important to provide truthful information.

7. Respect other people's time

Atlas Outsourcing Ltd say: "As important as it is to prioritise and respect your own time, it is vital to respect other people's time." In order to be taken seriously, it is important to be punctual and to thank others for their time.

8. Focus on what you can control

Some people cannot develop further because they seem to focus too long on things they cannot control. "Make it happen, show people you are able to take on big projects and focus on the things you can control." says Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd.

Based in Liverpool, Atlas Outsourcing Ltd are an outsourced sales and event marketing company. The firm is seen to be very reliable by their clients and as a result, MD Matt Stewart is currently planning to expand the business into at least two further locations by the end of this year.

Direct sales and marketing specialists Atlas Outsourcing attended the 2015 Sales and Marketing Awards in Baltimore, Maryland at the weekend.

Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing, travelled to Baltimore recently to attend the American Sales and Marketing Awards Ceremony, held at the Hippodrome Theatre.The Hippodrome Theatre is a former vaudeville theatre in Baltimore, Maryland. Built back in 1914 for impresarios Pierce and Scheck, the venue was the foremost vaudeville house in Baltimore, as well as a movie theatre. It seats 2300 people making it the perfect venue for the event as it was big enough to hold the number of attendees but created more of an intimate atmosphere than an arena.

About: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com

The event was attended by sales and marketing professionals from across the US as well as some international guests.The one-day event kicked off with an awards ceremony, where some of the sales and marketing industry's top performers, in America, were recognised for their achievements over the last 12 months.The awards ceremony was followed by a session with guest speakers, some who had flown in especially for the occasion.To add some fun to the event there were spot prizes - worth thousands of dollars - given out sporadically throughout the day which included: Macbooks, Beats headphones and wireless speakers.The fun continued with the introduction of a money-grabbing machine where attendees were allowed 45 seconds to grab as many notes as possible.

Matt Stewart began his trip 3 days earlier when he landed in New York City, where he spent time networking with international business owners in his field of sales and marketing. For the trip to Baltimore, Matt hired a sports car to drive to the city where he stayed at the 5-star Four Seasons Hotel.

"Attending these events is one of the things I love most about being a business owner in this industry. Being in a theatre full of people who all share a passion and enthusiasm for what we do is always incredibly exciting and motivating," said Matt Stewart.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Ltd Reveal The Driving Force Behind the Nation’s Business Owners ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-ltd-reveal-the-driving-force-behind-the-nations-business-owners-8295a3bd817cd020e87d8cdbf240d11e/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-ltd-reveal-the-driving-force-behind-the-nations-business-owners-8295a3bd817cd020e87d8cdbf240d11e/ Friday 6 March, 2015

There are many reasons as to why people start their own businesses, but which reason is the biggest driving force? Atlas Outsourcing Ltd review a recent study into entrepreneurship and share why they believe 2015 could be set to be a landmark year for start-ups.

About Atlas Outsourcing: http://www.atlasoutsourcingltd.com/

According to new research undertaken by Barclays, being your own boss is the main driver for people to start their own business. In fact, over half of respondents, 54 per cent, state that they gave up their day job because they wanted to work for themselves. Atlas Outsourcing Ltd MD says: "This is an interesting development. After years of a weak economy and redundancies, we are now moving in the right direction. People take ownership of their future and don't want to be dependant on someone else's success."

Small businesses are the backbone of the British economy. Therefore, Atlas Outsourcing Ltd are pleased about the results of the Barclays study and are optimistic about the British economy in 2015 and the years ahead. "With an increased number of small businesses, we look forward to an increase in employment opportunities and consumer spending", say Matt Stewart, Managing Director of Atlas Outsourcing.

The Barclays study reveals that being made redundant from previous employment inspired twenty per cent of current SME owners. Sixteen per cent of respondents say that turning a hobby into a business was one of the key drivers to open up their business.

With a positive forecast for SMEs laid out in the latest Autumn Statement and the current resources available, Atlas Outsourcing Ltd are looking at a fantastic year ahead: "Today it is much easier to open up a business than a few years ago. We are very optimistic because the British government has implemented several tools for business owners." In fact, the implementation of several lending schemes and information platforms support today's entrepreneurs.

Having the right tools available is however not everything that is important when running a business, feel Atlas Outsourcing. MD for Business Lending and Enterprise at Barclays, Rebecca McNeil, agrees: "'It is important that business owners are passionate about what they do, as commitment and motivation are key tools to getting a successful business up and running…"

Atlas Outsourcing Ltd are an outsourced sales and event marketing company with branches in Reading and Liverpool. The firm offers a Business Development Programme to entrepreneurial-minded individuals who are planning to start up their own business. "The programme is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the relevant skills to run a business and give them the confidence they need", explain Atlas Outsourcing.

Looking at a successful 2015, Atlas Outsourcing Ltd are currently preparing for their expansion into further UK markets. Plans to represent their clients Europe-wide are also under discussion.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Promotes Face-to-Face Marketing as a Viable Customer Service Method ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-promotes-face-to-face-marketing-as-a-viable-customer-service-method-15b2787c4f0763a6ec2a51a4e863d34c/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-promotes-face-to-face-marketing-as-a-viable-customer-service-method-15b2787c4f0763a6ec2a51a4e863d34c/ Friday 5 December, 2014

With automated customer service systems causing increasing frustration among consumers, sales and marketing firm Atlas Outsourcing share why they hope more businesses will adopt a face-to-face approach in 2015.

It seems that in today's digital world, there's no escaping automated customer service, despite the frustration these methods cause. Automated phone services often have customers going round in circles without ever speaking to a real person, whilst online customer service solutions have an annoying habit of disconnecting customers, or failing to provide adequate help or advice. The majority of businesses adopt these solutions in order to handle their growing customer base or to streamline their existing services. However, in many cases customers end up feeling isolated and disconnected from their favourite brands. Atlas Outsourcing believe that for customers to feel valued, it's important to make customer interactions as easy as possible and that technology shouldn't stand in the way of building strong customer relationships.

Atlas Outsourcing specialise in outsourced sales and event marketing, regularly using face to face interactions to help their clients achieve their goals and grow their businesses. By meeting with customers on behalf of their clients, Atlas Outsourcing allows customers to fully engage with a brand and get a thorough sense of their unique values and beliefs which helps to create more meaningful bonds between a brand and their customers. Face-to-face interactions also present customers with a chance to get straightforward and informed answers to any queries they may have about a brand, product or service. This is usually incredibly difficult when dealing with an automated system. Atlas Outsourcing ensures that before meeting with customers, all their representatives undertake extensive product and brand training. This process means that customers have access to the best possible advice and support and can therefore make confident and well informed buying decisions and fully enjoy the customer experience.

Poor customer service can have serious implications for a brands' reputation and lose them vital revenue. By only providing automated customer services businesses can leave their customers feeling undervalued. Although set responses may seem efficient for the majority of customers, these responses are not relevant and as a result customers waste time trying to get hold of someone who can help. Atlas Outsourcing believe businesses must respect their customers and by introducing confusing and often unhelpful automated systems, they feel that businesses are failing to show their customers the respect they deserve.

After the boom in digital and automated services, Atlas Outsourcing is hopeful that 2015 will be the year of face-to-face customer interactions. With the economy stabilising and customer confidence at a high it's more important than ever for businesses to build stronger customer relationships in order to take advantage of the current economic climate. With their services in increasing demand Atlas Outsourcing are confident that the New Year will see more businesses recognise the importance of face-to-face customer service and actively make chances to ensure their customers feel valued and respected.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Ltd Disagree With Recent Claims That UK Businesses Need to be ‘Less Polite’ ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-ltd-disagree-with-recent-claims-that-uk-businesses-need-to-be-less-polite-284153d7d3c7b0e8f949781eacd641ce/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-ltd-disagree-with-recent-claims-that-uk-businesses-need-to-be-less-polite-284153d7d3c7b0e8f949781eacd641ce/ Thursday 13 November, 2014

Despite the recent claims that brand Britain is increasing in popularity overseas, The Duke of York announced at a recent event that British businesses are holding themselves back by being too polite. Atlas Outsourcing disagrees with these claims, and share why they believe politeness is part of the British charm overseas.

The Duke of York recently told the BBC that British businesses need to be less polite, more competitive. He said, "There are other nations that are more keen to get the job than we are." He added that companies need to be "more bullish" in their dealings, stating that the UK has a lot of economic activity in the US and should not be afraid of having a large amount of activity in China. The Duke of York also said, "We are happy that we've taken part, done our best, but our best isn't good enough... we don't muscle, we don't push and shove, we're polite."

Investment expert, Ewan Cameron Watt hit back at the claims and told the BBC that some entrepreneurs' "blood will be boiling" at suggestions they are not trying hard enough. Atlas Outsourcing agrees with his statement and believes that being polite is part of the British charm; it does not mean they are any less hard working or aggressive towards obtaining new business. The firm does not want entrepreneurs to be disheartened by the Duke's statement and think that their contribution to the economy is not being recognised.

Atlas Outsourcing believes that what makes British brands and businesses desirable is the quality of their products, the service they provide and their polite nature. The firm believe people don't want to be pressured into buying, they want to understand why something would benefit them and that is the service they provide.

However, Atlas Outsourcing does agree with the Duke with regards to being more competitive. "We embrace friendly competition, it helps to drive growth and success and can prove very helpful in many aspects of business and I think it is an area many businesses could improve on" says Managing Director, Matt Stewart.

Atlas Outsourcing believes that British brands are currently doing well because they are supporting the economy to come back after a recession, they are responsible for new job opportunities and innovative ideas that drive tourism and consumer spending.

Atlas Outsourcing is an outsourced sales and marketing firm with offices located in both Liverpool and Reading. The firm specialises in a personalised form of direct marketing that involves connecting with consumers face-to-face on behalf of their clients to accurately represent their brands. This helps to create long-lasting relationships between brand and consumer as well as improving customer acquisition, customer retention and brand awareness.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Review how direct marketing could prevent consumer isolation ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-review-how-direct-marketing-could-prevent-consumer-isolation-79b5902555dbe2d4e957150f6f8fdf27/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-review-how-direct-marketing-could-prevent-consumer-isolation-79b5902555dbe2d4e957150f6f8fdf27/ Saturday 1 November, 2014

As consumers grow ever wearier of customer services being driven online, sales and marketing firm Atlas Outsourcing look at how direct marketing could prevent consumers from feeling isolated from their favourite brands.

Consumers are returning to their local High Streets to overcome the isolation of online services. Atlas Outsourcing have looked into a survey that shows 57% of consumers fear greater isolation developing within society as more services are driven online. 74% believe that high street shops offer a less isolated service and 91% believe that the high street is important to support local businesses. On top of this, Atlas Outsourcing discovered that over a quarter of those surveyed have regretted buying something online because they didn't check the details closely enough and a shocking 39% have had to end an online purchase because they couldn't speak to anyone to solve their query.

After looking at these statistics Atlas Outsourcing believes that although online services are efficient and less expensive for business owners, they are creating a barrier between consumers and businesses. Some companies are not making it clear where to go when a consumer has an issue or a query and this is resulting in frustration amongst consumers and often results in the brand missing out on a sale. Consumers appreciate a quick and easy service not only when they are buying a product but also when they need further information. Many online services are quick to take the money but not quick to provide this extra service the consumer desires, which leaves them feeling isolated and frustrated.

Atlas Outsourcing feels that direct marketing could be the solution. Direct marketing could help to bridge the gap by offering consumers the chance to interact one-on-one with a brand rep. Consumers often appreciate a face-to-face conversation and this helps to cement a long-lasting relationship with the brand. Atlas Outsourcing believes that direct marketing is bringing back a high level of customer service to the high street though in store or event promotions. Problems and queries are solved much quicker when dealing with someone in a face-to-face situation rather than via a computer screen and consumers value the efficient service that direct marketing provides.

Atlas Outsourcing is an outsourced event marketing firm with locations in Reading and Liverpool. The firm are proud to provide their clients with face-to-face campaigns that accurately represent their brands using friendly sales reps. These reps can take these campaigns directly to consumers and offer them a personalised service that helps to create long-lasting relationships between the brand and consumer. In turn, this helps to improve clients' customer acquisition, brand loyalty, brand awareness and drive quality sales.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing: How will the role of Marketers change in 2015? ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-how-will-the-role-of-marketers-change-in-2015-4a074a70da414301dbf524a7756a0062/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-how-will-the-role-of-marketers-change-in-2015-4a074a70da414301dbf524a7756a0062/ Tuesday 28 October, 2014

Atlas Outsourcing discuss the demanding role of the marketer in 2014, the various areas marketing professionals must now be skilled in and what 2015 holds for the marketing industry.

Five years ago, to become a marketer there was a simple process that was followed. The process of pursuing a marketing career began with a good marketing school, then getting a marketing degree and joining the marketing department of a reputable marketing company.

In today's marketing world, there are various different routes into beginning and maintaining a long lasting and successful career in marketing. Not only have the routes into marketing changed, topics that wouldn't have been on the radar of a typical marketer just two or three years ago are now areas that marketers need to be experienced in or at least aware of.

For example:

Data – how will data, with its exponential proliferation, enable marketers to better market to people and not at people? Data should be used to market on the customer's terms only.

Start-ups – from how the industry is evolving, the next marketing idea is likely to come from a start-up. For example, which big data entrepreneur is inventing the next Facebook or the new Twitter and who will experiment first how to use it for marketing purposes.

Platforms – Google and Facebook have managed to become the most valuable brands in the world through platforms that enable millions of people a day to interact with brands in small yet meaningful ways.

Relationships – marketers work in a world of empowered consumers so it is essential to build meaningful and personal relationships. This is so the consumers will help build the brand with the marketer.

Atlas Outsourcing, a direct marketing and sales firm, believe that with the current access to knowledge and the speed of change, everyone is a potential marketer. They believe a marketer in today's business world needs to be able to understand and work with everyone from, the data analyst, the brand publisher, the relationship manager, the start-up entrepreneur to the consumer.

Atlas Outsourcing is an ambitious outsourced sales and event marketing firm based in Reading and Liverpool. The firm have closely watched the change in the marketing industry and solely focus on delivering face to face sales and marketing techniques via promotional event marketing campaigns. The firm's direct and personal marketing approach not only provides great customer service, but also new custom for clients.

Matt Stewart, the Managing Director of outsourced sales and event marketing company, Atlas Outsourcing, was invited to be a keynote speaker at a recent regional conference. The event, held on Sunday 14th September at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London’s Covent Garden area, focussed on every aspect of the industry, from Product Training to Crew Management, with Stewart’s seminar centred on Sales Impulse Factors.

Reading-based business, Atlas Outsourcing, focuses on the delivery of personal face-to-face customer service and sales acquisitions on behalf of a range of clients. The company’s direct approach to marketing generates new customers and guarantees results, whilst providing a professional, accessible and interactive service. Direct contact with customers also provides instant campaign feedback, allowing effective analysis and reporting, ensuring that improvements can be implemented without delay.

This quality of service is possible as a result of high quality training, which takes place on a daily basis in the Atlas Outsourcing office in Reading. Training is encouraged from the early stages of development, helping team members to develop both a student mind-set and an instructive approach to learning. Twenty five representatives from Atlas Outsourcing office were also in attendance at the regional conference in London, demonstrating the importance of these events, which provide unparalleled opportunities to learn from a range of industry experts.

Stewart has become a regular speaker at these types of events, due to his natural charisma on stage, his growing popularity within the outsourced sales and marketing industry, and his ability to deliver inspiring, engaging speeches. Stewart has been a guest speaker at several seminars in the past, however, this is the first time that he has been invited to lead a talk on such a grand scale, with hundreds of guests in attendance at the impressive London-based venue. Having attended workshops and lectures throughout his own training, Stewart now credits these events as a significant part of his development:

"It’s great to be invited to speak at these events. I remember attending networking and leadership meetings when I was training and it was an important part of my development; the opportunity to learn from experienced managers was invaluable, but it was also extremely beneficial to network and share information with people at my own stage."

Stewart has provided onsite training for his team at Atlas Outsourcing, and is now looking forward to sharing further lessons with the next generation of aspiring sales and marketing representatives over the coming months. National conferences, workshops and networking events provide useful opportunities for self-development, and Stewart’s leadership qualities are now being recognised as he continues to build his reputation in the sales and marketing industry.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing: Personalisation is key for Customer Retention ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-personalisation-is-key-for-customer-retention-07ed7abcb5e4f114f59fe4600d52ceb0/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-personalisation-is-key-for-customer-retention-07ed7abcb5e4f114f59fe4600d52ceb0/ Thursday 18 September, 2014

Reading based, direct marketing firm, Atlas Outsourcing looks into the benefits of loyal customers and how personalising a service is key for excellent customer retention.

While running a business it is important not only to attract and obtain new prospects but to insure that customers are returning again and again. Loyal customers are often worth a lot more to a business than new prospects because they are easier to sell to and more likely to buy again than a new customer is to buy at all. Atlas Outsourcing believes that loyal customers also effectively become part of the marketing workforce as they are likely to spread the word about the brand if they enjoyed their experience enough to return to it.

A recent study into the effects of personalisation on customer retention shows that 84% of those surveyed said that personalisation impacts customer retention and loyalty. But at the same time 48% of marketers surveyed say they face challenges in personalising each customer interaction. As a result Atlas Outsourcing is offering some techniques that brands can use to personalise their service.

Have a database 

Atlas Outsourcing suggests that a good place to start personalising a service is to have a database of customer information. That way if a customer calls for a query or for another purchase there is a record available that holds all of that customer’s previous information such as previous purchases, previous calls and a record of their preferred means of contact. This makes it easy to put that customer through to the right person straight away and they will enjoy the efficient service.

Cross-channel marketing

There are several ways in which customers can now contact a brand, such as, phone, email and social media. If a brand can connect with their customers on all of these levels and continue a conversation across all of these platforms then the customers will truly feel valued, as if the brand needs their feedback and knows who they are personally.

Thank you notes 

It may take some time to personally write out and send thank you notes to each customer that buys something from the brand but it adds a personal touch that the competition may not have and could keep a customer returning to the brand even if they find a cheaper option. The customer will enjoy the personalised service that comes with the brand.

Responsive websites 

Websites that are difficult to use or are unattractive are likely to put a customer off. If they want to make a query and can’t find a way through the website then they can and will go elsewhere. Online is the first place people tend to go to make a complaint/ask a question/check out a company’s credentials and if the website does not provide all this in an easy format then that could be the difference between making a sale and not making a sale.

Atlas Outsourcing is an outsourced sales and direct marketing firm. The firm specialises in making campaigns that are unique and personalised to each of their clients’ needs. The firm then takes these personalised campaigns directly to consumers through face-to-face interactions. This tends to create long-lasting and personal relationships between the brand and the consumer which leads to improved customer retention and loyalty for the brand as well as improved customer acquisition and brand awareness.

Atlas Outsourcing’s MD Matt Stewart wowed guests with his speech on ‘Driving Sales’ at last week’s Birmingham Business Development Conference. After hearing he made such an impact on many new entrepreneurs at the event, he offers a guide on how to overcome nerves and become an inspirational public speaker.

At the end of August, Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing travelled from Reading to attend a Business Development Conference in Birmingham where he was a key note speaker. Matt Stewart made a detailed and informed speech at the event, on the topic of driving sales, using his extensive knowledge of the subject.

Matt Stewart’s speech was a huge success and many new and aspiring entrepreneurs said that it had made a huge impact on them, providing them with knowledge and aspirations. On hearing that he had made such an impact, Matt Stewart has decided that in order to encourage more industry professionals to share their knowledge and experience by speaking at events, he will develop a guide to public speaking.

Atlas Outsourcing believe that these events are very important for entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners to attend because they are a great place to learn new skills. But in order for this to happen, existing owners and industry leaders have to be willing to speak and share their wisdom. However, Atlas Outsourcing understands that many people, although confident business owners, are not confident in public speaking. Matt Stewart hopes that his guide will help business owners learn how to overcome nerves and become inspirational public speakers.

Matt Stewart’s public speaking guide includes several handy tips to becoming a confident speaker, including:

Record the speech and play it back.The first step to becoming a great speaker is to learn how the speech sounds to other people. Using today’s technology such as smart phones this is very easy to do.

Identify and break bad habits. Experts say people should listen back to their speeches intently and identify all the things they dislike about how they speak. Two of the most common problems are filler words such as ‘um’ ‘er’ and ‘uh’ and trailing off at the end of sentences, which makes people sound less confident.

Be aware of body language. Often amateur speakers will fidget, shift their weight uncomfortably and generally behave in ways that show they’re nervous or defensive. To fix this people should find positions that look natural and echo stances we take when we are relaxed and open. For example, speakers shouldn’t cross their arms as this comes across as a defensive position but instead should use hand gestures for emphasis.

Find the ‘optimal pitch.’ Some people become insecure about their speaking voice because they do not like its pitch, they think it sounds too high, or too low. Experts say that everyone has an ‘optimal pitch’ that should be used for their natural speaking voice. To find it you should make the “mmhm” sound of agreement and the pitch used is the same pitch a person uses most comfortably.

Let the enthusiasm show. The previous tips won’t mean a thing if passion and enthusiasm isn’t bought to the speech. The best public speakers are confident, relaxed and interesting. Bring personality to the speech and try to enjoy it.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Warn businesses to Rethink their Approach to Customer Feedback ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-warn-businesses-to-rethink-their-approach-to-customer-feedback-264b5f348bf2b7c3cdf45606dee97a7b/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-warn-businesses-to-rethink-their-approach-to-customer-feedback-264b5f348bf2b7c3cdf45606dee97a7b/ Wednesday 13 August, 2014

After news that The Cooperative are desperately reaching out to customers for feedback after a disappointing year, Atlas Outsourcing review how constantly appealing to customers for feedback could be detrimental to a business.

Customer feedback is an integral part of product and service development. Businesses invest a lot into understanding their customers in order to provide a service that suits their needs, and the most direct way of doing this is to approach the consumer directly. Atlas Outsourcing understands the importance of customer feedback and regularly help their clients’ build stronger, honest relationships with their customers. However, the sales and marketing firm are concerned that many businesses may be approaching customers for feedback in the wrong way, and losing a percentage of their audience in the process.

Recently, The Cooperative received a backlash from customer and media as a result of their online ‘Let’s Talk’ hub aimed at collecting customer opinions and improving their services. The business which prides itself for being a member owned company felt it was important to involve their consumers in any development plans for the business. Sales and marketing firm Atlas Outsourcing agree that its important to involve existing consumers in these business decisions, however believe it was their approach to collecting and reviewing the data which brought about such negative attention.

The Cooperative received over 180,000 replies and tweets from consumers regarding how they could improve their services, but as of yet have failed to make any changes to their business model. The problem with actively opening a dedicated online forum for consumer feedback means that business has an expectation to live up to. By encouraging customers to share their opinions businesses are suggesting to their customers that are ready to make changes However, The Cooperative have failed to take on any of the suggestions made by their customers, leaving their loyal consumers feeling undervalued and ignored.

Inviting consumers to share their opinions and ideas is not a move to be taken lightly as the process can have a serious effect on their reputation. Many businesses, especially those struggling to keep up with market trends may lean to heavily on consumers without even realising. The need for feedback and guidance can mean businesses turn to more invasive and disruptive ways to gain feedback. Whereas a business may think calling or texting customers is a direct way of acquiring feedback, consumers are likely to find the process frustrating, and may cut ties with that business.

Atlas Outsourcing believes the best way for gathering honest feedback is through direct marketing techniques. Face to face interaction is becoming increasingly popular among businesses thanks to the strong customer relationships it creates and maintains. Atlas outsourcing who specialise in event marketing believe that approaching customers in a neutral setting and creating a channel for open and honest communication is the most effective way of collating customer feedback. The opportunity for one on one interaction with a brand allows the customer a chance to be heard and understood, and the feedback collected can be shared with almost instantly, meaning the customer has a far greater chance of seeing their suggestion put into action.

Atlas Outsourcing think it's great news that businesses like the Cooperative are turning to their customers for suggestions, yet urge businesses to carefully consider their approach to collecting feedback from the experience of the customer.

<![CDATA[ Atlas Outsourcing Attended Business Insights Seminar in London ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-attended-business-insights-seminar-in-london-aea2fbf934f5428e92f1c001906b589b/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/atlas-outsourcing-attended-business-insights-seminar-in-london-aea2fbf934f5428e92f1c001906b589b/ Thursday 7 August, 2014

Atlas Outsourcing travelled to London last week to attend a Business Insights seminar in London Bridge.

Matt Stewart, Managing Director of Atlas Outsourcing travelled to the seminar in London Bridge, named, Business Insights. The Seminar provided information about essential business practices.

The seminar covered topics including:


Legal services
Financial Services
VAT and Tax
Company Branding
Recruitment
Relationship Development.

The seminar was aimed at helping start-up businesses and entrepreneurs know everything they have to know about starting a business. The seminar lasted a full day with speakers at the event coming forward to give advice and offer experience to those businesses that attended.

Atlas Outsourcing appreciated the seminar and feel as though they will benefit from attending, “It was a great workshop, I learned a lot and got some great advice regarding businesses processes that I think will really help propel Atlas Outsourcing forward” says Matt Stewart, Managing Director.

Regularly gaining education form seminars and business workshops is good for Small Business owners as it allows them to push their business forward, gain more experience and develop. These workshop events allow businesses access to expert knowledge and advice, that otherwise may not be available to them, often at low-cost. They also provide business owners or representatives with the opportunity to meet and network with industry specialists and perhaps even showcase a new product or service.

These kinds of seminars and workshops can often help business owners learn the best ways to develop and implement new ideas into the business. They are the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded business people and to meet industry experts.

The workplace is a rapidly changing environment and Small Business owners can benefit from workshops and seminars as they allow organisations to get updated information on key issues that they are concerned with. They allow for experts to address issues with up-to-date information from the latest developments in the field. In an era in which many people do not have time to read books by a number of experts they can spend a reasonably short period of time at these seminars gaining substantial information from a wide variety of sources.

Although Atlas Outsourcing are strong industry leaders and possess a strong sales force they still believe that it is important to attend workshops such as this one in order to learn new skills, vital industry information and how to utilise this information to help and develop their business.
