<\/a>three you must be on. by sandi leyva<\/i> a few of you know i moved from california to plano last year. we rented a house for a year, then started looking around for a house to buy. we found one in april and in may, we moved.<\/p>\n more small firm growth strategies:\u00a0<\/b>make the most of trade shows<\/a> | speaking: how, where and getting leads from it<\/a> | 3 more kinds of referrals<\/a> | turn to the abcs for client feedback<\/a> | use client \u2018touch plans\u2019 to stay in touch<\/a> | build your revenue plan in reverse<\/a> well, i thought it was going to need about $20,000 of work, but that was an understatement. my challenge now is to find high-quality contractors i can trust\u00a0to help me fix the house up right. that\u2019s when i joined angie\u2019s list. it was such a blessing. i could look through thousands of reviews to see what other people said about the contractors that were listed.<\/p>\n i have seen many of you get business from these review sites and your online profiles. even if you hate testimonials yourself and don\u2019t read them, your clients do. and you will be left out from other cpas and accountants who take advantage of this part of the web.<\/p>\n here are the profile sites i feel you must be on:<\/p>\n 1. linkedin<\/strong><\/p>\n accountants are well represented on linkedin. it is heavily used in recruiting and is also great for studying someone you are trying to win business from. whether your client is there or not (and some probably are), accountants should have their linkedin profile up to date and maximized.<\/p>\n 2. software certification profile listings<\/strong><\/p>\n if you have certifications in software and the software company provides pages listing people who have certified, then you want to make sure your profile is maximized so that you will receive more leads.<\/p>\n examples of these programs include:<\/p>\n 3. google places<\/strong><\/p>\n for those of you who have an office, your search engine rankings will be higher if you claim your address in google places. go to this link and follow the directions to get verified. google will send a postcard to your address, and you can enter a code to validate your listing: https:\/\/www.google.com\/business\/placesforbusiness\/<\/a><\/p>\n this is an extremely important step for higher search engine rankings. go ahead and fill out your company profile and add some pictures as well.<\/p>\n those three profiles above are the most important. if you have more time, consider these additional ideas:<\/p>\n once you have these profiles, you will need to do a couple of things to each one:<\/p>\n abc garage doors<\/p>\n (logo, address, etc.)<\/p>\n customer compliments<\/p>\n email xx@xx.com with all compliments. also write us a review on our website\u00a0xx.com and let us know how we are doing by clicking on customer lobby read client reviews logo at the bottom of the page. we will send you a non-expiring coupon worth $50.<\/p>\n ok, not so elegant, but a great idea to steal. here\u2019s the wording i would recommend (and without the bribe, which is pretty unethical if you ask me).<\/p>\n your business name<\/p>\n (logo, address, etc.)<\/p>\n client feedback<\/p>\n we strive to gain your complete satisfaction in the services we provide for you. if you are happy with our work, we would love to have you post a testimonial\u00a0on any or all of these places:<\/p>\n (then list the urls of your specific profiles.)<\/p>\n we are grateful for your time and support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\nand what i learned is it\u2019s really hard to find contractors you trust, especially when you move back to an area and things have changed significantly.<\/p>\n\n
