What Makes Consumer Links The Right Outsourcing Partner?
Outsourcing has become one of the smartest ways to grow, without expanding your overheads. By shifting time-consuming functions to a trusted partner, you can reduce costs, scale operations, and sharpen your competitive edge.
At Consumer Links, we work closely with businesses across the UK and beyond, delivering flexible outsourcing solutions that fit the way you operate. Our teams in South Africa handle the day-to-day while our UK account managers stay hands-on to keep things running smoothly.
Not sure where to start? Here are 10 business functions you can outsource right now to free up internal resources, improve performance, and give your team room to focus on what matters.
1. Inbound Customer Service
Your customers expect quick, friendly support no matter how busy your team is. By outsourcing your inbound customer service, you can keep response times low and satisfaction high, without adding pressure to your in-house team. Whether it’s over the phone, email, live chat or social, we make sure every enquiry is handled with care and consistency. Our agents are trained to reflect your brand tone and values, so your customers get the right experience every time.

2. Outbound Lead Generation
Not every lead is ready to close, but they still need a conversation. Our outbound teams can warm up cold leads, follow up on interest, and book qualified appointments for your sales team. It’s a simple way to keep your pipeline flowing without pulling your top performers off closing deals. We work closely with you to align on targeting, messaging and KPIs, so every call adds value.

3. Back-Office Admin
Every business runs on admin, but it shouldn’t slow you down. From data entry and CRM updates to billing and compliance support, our back-office teams take care of the background work so your people can focus on what moves the needle. Whether you’re clearing a backlog or scaling up operations, we provide the consistency and attention to detail that internal teams often don’t have time for.

4. Omnichannel Communication
Customers don’t just call anymore, they message, email, tweet, and chat. We help you meet them where they are, keeping conversations consistent and on-brand across every channel. With one joined-up support experience, you can reduce friction, improve response times, and give your customers more choice in how they connect with you.

5. Virtual Assistant Services
Need reliable admin support, but not another full-time hire? Our virtual assistants can help with diary management, inbox support, research tasks and more; giving busy teams more time to focus on high-priority work. You’ll get flexible support that scales with your needs, without the overheads or management load of hiring in-house.

6. Phone Answering Services
Missed calls can mean missed opportunities, especially when your team is tied up or out of hours. Our professional phone answering service ensures your customers always reach a real person, not a voicemail.
We handle calls with care and consistency, using your preferred scripts and tone of voice. Whether it’s taking messages, managing overflow, handling basic enquiries or transferring priority calls, we help you stay responsive and professional — even when you’re not available.

7. E-commerce Support
Running an e-commerce business means staying on top of everything; orders, queries, returns, reviews. We help you stay responsive and consistent, especially during busy periods. From product listings to post-sale support, our teams work as an extension of yours, keeping your customer experience smooth from click to doorstep.

8. Tech Support Services

9. Appointment Setting
Booking qualified appointments takes time, but it doesn’t have to slow your team down. Our agents follow up with leads, handle call-backs, and schedule appointments directly into your calendar, using your scripts and criteria. It’s a simple way to keep your pipeline moving without adding pressure internally.

10. HR Support
Recruitment admin. Interview scheduling. Policy documents. These small-but-critical tasks take up more time than they should. We support your internal HR team with the admin and coordination side of things, so they can focus on people, not paperwork. Whether you’re hiring at scale or just need to stay compliant, we can help lighten the load.
