<\/strong>question:<\/strong> i have an established practice and just lost my largest client and need to get new business to make up for the loss. how do i go about getting additional clients?<\/p>\n

answer:<\/strong> funny, cpas aren\u2019t asking me about marketing. maybe it’s because 1) they are too busy working so aren\u2019t thinking about marketing, 2) they really don\u2019t like to sell; 3) they feel uncomfortable about asking existing clients for referrals and especially so if they feel they aren\u2019t doing as good a job servicing the client as they should be; 4) they would like new business but don\u2019t seem to want to go out of their way to get it unless it is a referral, or 5) they don\u2019t know what \u201cmarketing\u201d is.<\/p>\n
