Putting your trust in a local company for your business telecoms or commercial aerial installation services may seem daunting at first if you are used to working with nationwide companies. But the truth is that there are many benefits to choosing a local company which could certainly make your experience the most positive yet.
#1 Flexibility
Whilst some larger companies may themselves outsource to local areas, their nationwide processes which must be adhered to, can be subject to strict time allocations and call out fees. You might be looking for more flexibility as a busy individual who works throughout the week and needs a responsive service. And whilst a nationwide company might enforce service time slots to promote efficiency, you might need a much more tailored service that needs more time for the best result. A local company will usually have more flexibility in their schedules, allowing for that extra time when needed.
#2 Close Reach
In the instance of an emergency call out due to weather damage for example, you need company that is able to see you as soon as they can. You don’t want to have to contact a call centre and go through ‘a middleman’ when you need their services the most. No, in those situations, it’s reassuring to be able to speak with a company directly, who can arrange a time that works for you.
#3 Quality of Service
Your first reasoning to go with a nationwide company might be the quality of service – but one of the biggest challenges a larger company will face is customer rapport and customer satisfaction. When you have such a large customer database, it is easy to become just a number. Having a single member of the team to manage a particular customer enquiry throughout is near impossible within a larger company; which in some circumstances can cause frustration for the customer. Ideally, you want to be able to speak with someone who has the knowledge and experience to advise you right away for example with a fault with your satellite installation north wales.
#4 Competitive Pricing
Whilst larger companies benefit from an economy of scope; i.e. more customers so they can charge a lower price, they also have more overheads to account for. A smaller company, with local operation, no call centres and no admin fees might be able to offer more competitive pricing due to the very nature of their smaller scale operation.
#5 Range of Services
A smaller company is more likely to be able to assist you with a range of services as they have the flexibility to adapt their services from the experience they gained. Larger companies require will often require approval from shareholders or a board of management before they can change their services and furthermore, they often need to be booked well in advance should you need more than one. One of the benefits of choosing a smaller business is that they truly benefit from delivering a range of services to the customer; which they will work hard to satisfy.
