Looking for an easy and fast way to get new Accounting clients?

So, you're looking for an easier way to find new Accounting clients.

You're not interested in starting to learn new marketing & sales methods and you certainly want to avoid having to create any system for these.

After all, you just want NEW CLIENTS, not an in-depth study project or full-time job as a marketer, right?

You want RESULTS and you want to find someone who can deliver those results — new clients — NOW instead of requiring you to participate on seminars or start involved home courses on the subject.

You want to take the DIRECT ROAD TO RESULTS, not the scenic route with endless studies and things before you can HOPE to get any results.

You don't want any of that academic nonsense about theory of marketing.

You don't want to go back to school to learn something that you already KNOW basically... after all, you're very successful in getting potential clients to sign on as it is... so you don't NEED to learn that any more, right?

You just want lots and lots of new potential clients which you'll then turn into clients, right? Or, you want clients directly and look for someone to provide them for a reasonable fee?

Well, I've got good news and bad news for you.

The good news is that by WANTING new clients, you're already among the top minority of Accounting firms and if you just pursue your goal, you'll be more and more successful.

The bad news is that the WAY by which you want new clients simply doesn't exist. It's an impossibility, something that cannot be delivered by anyone.

Oh, you'll find those who will CLAIM or PROMISE to deliver it. But that's not the same thing as actually GETTING it.

Let me explain.

If it REALLY was possible to sell clients profitably, don't you think every Accounting firm would buy new clients?

The subheading above explains my point. No doubt there are some impressively powerful salesmen out there who have a high closing ratio and could sell your services... IF only it was possible to SELL someone else's Accounting services as such.

But it isn't. Not so that the resulting flow of new clients would bring you PROFIT.

See. For the first, the relationship business owners have with their Accountant is very much a personal thing. It's a relationship built on trust and your personal characteristics as experienced by the client.

And there's no way someone ELSE could create that relationship with you... without you present, is there? And that's what MUST happen BEFORE a business owner signs onto your services.

There's no way to get a business owner to sign onto your services without some extensive discussions with YOU. He isn't going to take a salesman's word for it: He MUST experience communication and negotiations with YOU personally.

After all, it's "YOU" he buys, in a manner of speaking.

Thus, no matter how powerful a salesman you hire, the fact is that YOU are going to have to convince each potential client personally.

So, what's the point in hiring an expensive salesman only to have to do his work for him?

All right, but there are other ways.

For instance, what about getting a telemarketing agency to find those potential clients FOR you, then?

I mean, there are a few agencies offering these services... so why not just get them to do it and make sure that your specifications of "acceptable leads" are tight and demanding... so that you'll get great leads that inevitably lead to sign-ons with a high success ratio?

Well, again there's that point of feasibility. No matter how tight specifications you set for such services, it's not going to make it any more possible.

The leads will be different from those you receive from existing clients and an occasional call from a listing. Very different.

They don't know you. They may not even be interested in changing Accountants. There's really only ONE certainty about such leads: A very persistent telemarketer made the call and got them to say "YES" to a meeting with you.

If it was possible then don't you think just about everyone would buy such leads?

Understanding human frailties in buying and selling

I'm sure you're well acquainted with the problems in selling your services. Potential clients are not only sceptical about every claim you make but they also set additional demands.

It's a game, essentially, in which the buyer knows he holds the trump cards: The salesman wants the sale much more than the buyer needs to buy, so it's the perfect situation to ante up the stakes and get as many additional demands as possibly included in what you get for your money.

This bargaining leverage is a brutally powerful weapon whenever the item of sale is a service that the buyer can live without... as is usually the case with a telemarketing service for finding potential Accounting clients, for instance.

But, see... the salesman works on commission and that makes him liable for bending the rules.

He wants the sale (the commission) SO much!

In fact, he wants it too much to ensure that YOU won't be left with any false ideas of what the service can DELIVER.

For the salesman, the temptation is usually far too much. It's all too easy to "misunderstand" some demand you had, it's very easy to ignore VERBAL agreements or even misinterpret written ones.

Once you're signed, it's your responsibility to PAY... and then you have to go into a lot of work visiting the leads they get you BEFORE you can evaluate whether or not they're any good.

By that time, you've spent a fortune... and, having received the leads they got you, what can you do but terminate the contract (IF that's an available option) and cut your losses?

Why easy ways (magic wands) are so popular and why people believe that miracle pills exist

It has been said that you can be cheated only if you're looking to cut corners in achieving something worthwhile. Miracle pills offer a tempting alternative:

"Get the gain without any pain! Achieve a long-term objective without spending the time, effort and money required to reach your goal..."

It's understandable to hesitate going into a longer project seemingly without any assurance that you'll be rewarded by success at the end of it.

The idea of committing to so much effort, time and expenses terrifies us by its magnitude alone — to say nothing of uncertainty about whether it'll prove worthwhile in the end.

Of course, you know this phenomenon very well from dealings with clients. No doubt you've heard some cooky ideas on how the business owner thinks he can get ahead by some excotic "deal"... and you know how insistent they can be to go ahead with such crazy schemes despite your warnings.

But we are ALL subject to the same temptation of getting ahead without doing what it takes to do it the right way.

And that's why we are predisposed to getting cheated by those who promise the easy way to reach our goal.

We reason like this:

"Sure, it costs quite a bit of money... but if I can avoid having to invest my time in LEARNING the system, if I can just GET THE RESULTS without spending my TIME..."

Well, you know what they say: If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't...

And so it is with marketing Accounting services. It is a skill comparable to Accounting. It cannot be BOUGHT.

It has to be LEARNED.

You would NEVER hire an Accountant who doesn't have the required experience and skill to handle the job. You would never hire someone who's BOUGHT a certificate but never practised.

The same principle applies to marketing and sales:

You can't BUY clients or marketing of Accounting services.

But you can buy materials that will teach you the skill, educate you on the basic FACTORS influencing the sale of your services, tutor you step by step into the successful ACTIONS that'll result in more clients, and give you the proven and tested TOOLS to affect positive results.

You can buy a system used successfully by others and then apply it to your firm... and, in the process, become a skilled expert of marketing and selling YOUR services.

And ONLY THEN you can get others to perform the marketing and selling of your services successfully.

There are no shortcuts to expertise.

You know there aren't. You're an expert and you didn't get where you're at today by cutting corners. You got there by learning from experience.

While marketing of Accounting services is a major skill, LEARNING it is much easier than reaching expertise in Accounting itself.

MUCH easier.

That's if you have a system like Modern Accountancy Marketing & Sales Course.

While in the marketing and selling of Accounting services there are about 100 smaller steps to do in order to reach success (new clients at a high success ratio), in Modern Accountancy Marketing & Sales Course these actions are incorporated into a set of ready-to-use tools and you can learn to use each tool within HOURS.

If you want to solve the marketing and selling of your services, if you want to remove any obstacles in being able to obtain new clients WHEN YOU WANT... then there's no other way to do so but to LEARN the skill and technology personally.

That doesn't mean that YOU would have to become a salesperson or that you have to handle these tasks from hereon out.

The Modern Accountancy Marketing & Sales Course includes all the systems with which you can get OTHERS to do your marketing and selling — successfully.

But you can't bypass knowledge yourself.

You can't get others to sell successfully without fully understanding how it is done.

Trying to bypass knowledge doesn't work in Accounting. It also doesn't work in marketing and selling of Accounting services.

Tackle it head-on and you'll find out how easy and fast it can be to BECOME THE EXPERT in marketing and selling your services!

The huge difference between self-sufficiency and dependency on others

While it's NOT possible to find someone to take care of your marketing and selling (without first getting the knowledge yourself), let's look at what would happen if it WAS possible.

If it WAS possible to get new Accounting clients delivered by someone else... would you really want to be totally dependent on someone else for your success?

Indeed, if it was possible, would you settle for being totally dependent on someone's sales for your new clients?

Just imagine the leverage it would give to that other party to increase his prices as no-one else can deliver what he does.

And think how easily they could RESELL those clients they got you by promising something better to them if they again change Accountants?

If you think that you could control this by legally binding contractual commitments... think again.

I've been there (as the paying party) and there's just no way to create an ironclad contract to safeguard against the many possibilities by which you could be done in with.

Compare that to having the tools and skill to get new clients whenever you want... without any help from anyone or having to pay exorbitant fees for such services.

Imagine having the FREEDOM to get clients any time you want, without having to pay anyone, without being dependent on anyone's skills, participation or whims.

Imagine what that could produce within a single year.

Next, think what a difference it would make in FIVE years' time.

Granted, it takes some work. You cannot remain a stranger to highly tailored accountancy marketing & sales techniques.

You do need a system that has practical and ready-to-use tools (such as letters, interviews, service models) and you have to acquaint yourself with those techniques to achieve full independence in acquiring new clients.

But it's relatively inexpensive and quick to GET all that.

And, once you're there, YOU are in control of expansion:

You can get clients whenever you want... and at a very affordable cost so the fees will actually increase your profits (and not the other way around).

Don't go for a service promising direct client acquisition.

It's not possible for someone else to get you clients. Some claim that it is possible... just so they'd get your signature on a costly contract.

But, if it sounds too good to be true...

There's just no way anyone COULD provide you with ready clients — not if YOU want to turn a profit from these clients.

Let's face it:

Clients you BUY are just like water poured into a well... it just won't stay for very long. And so you'll not only 4-5 times more for each client but also lose them much faster than is the case with clients you've obtained with your own hard work.

If you want new clients, you have to "bite the bullet" and take the tested and proven route:

Get yourself a practical system for obtaining Accountancy clients, burn the midnight oil to study the techniques and put in the time to practice those vital client-acquisition actions until you can get new clients whenever you want.
