\"young<\/a>bonus: 10 questions to check your comfort level.<\/strong><\/p>\n

by martin bissett<\/i>
\nunderstanding selling<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

i\u2019ve been asking you to believe in yourself, to get your potential clients to open up to you, and to demonstrate to them the outcomes that working with you and your firm would create in their personal and professional lives.<\/p>\n

more: <\/b>three things that rich accountants do<\/a> | make your expertise a new-client magnet<\/a> | don\u2019t think of it as selling<\/a> | experts: what it takes to become partner<\/a> | where is your next money coming from?<\/a> | your website promises. do you deliver?<\/a> | five reasons firms don\u2019t thrive<\/a> | good enough is not enough<\/a>
\n\"goprocpa.com\"exclusively for pro members. <\/span><\/strong>log in here<\/a> or 2022世界杯足球排名 today<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

now here\u2019s a checklist for you to run through before you begin your next business development initiative, and before each new business appointment that you have.
\n
\nyou don\u2019t need theory. you need the habit of implementation and practice. so i wish you every success in making both a reality.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. understand the difference between marketing and business development.<\/li>\n
  2. firmly map out your plans for growth.<\/li>\n
  3. assign yourself to become accountable to someone.<\/li>\n
  4. have them evaluate you.<\/li>\n
  5. decide what your value is relative to each individual new opportunity when you meet with them for the first time.<\/li>\n
  6. decide whether you believe in yourself.<\/li>\n
  7. decide whether you would buy from you.<\/li>\n
  8. decide to have a walk-away price for every deal.<\/li>\n
  9. decide why you and your firm are better than your competitors for each prospect you see, not just different.<\/li>\n
  10. schedule specific, non-interruptible time in your diary to proactively work on business development initiatives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    before you present yourself to a potential client, are you honestly comfortable with:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. how you have treated your family members recently?<\/li>\n
    2. how well you\u2019ve been striving to hit any personal goals that you might have set yourself?<\/li>\n
    3. how you\u2019ve dealt with employees and clients recently?<\/li>\n
    4. what you did when no one could see you?<\/li>\n
    5. what you would think if it were to be made public?<\/li>\n
    6. the way you present yourself visually?<\/li>\n
    7. the way you present yourself verbally?<\/li>\n
    8. the work you do for your clients?<\/li>\n
    9. yourself, to the extent that if you met you, would you be impressed?<\/li>\n
    10. how much preparation you\u2019ve invested into this meeting?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      you\u2019re now ready to build the pipeline of opportunities for your firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
