\"businessman<\/a>it starts with clients. of course.

i reached a stage in my career when i thought it was important to write articles. i wrote quite a few and sent them to editors, only to have them rejected. the nice ones wrote back rejections. the not-so-nice never bothered to respond at all.<\/p>\n

more:<\/b> don\u2019t pass up opportunities<\/a> | when to say no to pro bono work<\/a> | i used to hate quickbooks<\/a> | things change<\/a> | how to be \u2019the other guy\u2019s accountant\u2019<\/a> | why we \u2018kill\u2019 to get partnership returns out quickly<\/a> | becoming an expert in irs collections<\/a> | high cpa fees should be a client\u2019s goal<\/a> | how hidden bias taints results<\/a>

i even had articles typed multiple times to send \u201coriginals\u201d to various publications at the same time to no avail. at some point, i gave up but decided to write tax letters to clients.
\n
\nthis was in the day when accountants could not advertise, so what i wrote was on my firm\u2019s letterhead. i started with year-end tax planning letters. one time i had a letter ready to be printed when a colleague i shared an office with showed me a similar letter he had just received from a large firm with a masthead consisting of the firm\u2019s initials followed by the word \u201cnewsletter.\u201d<\/p>\n

that gave me the idea to do the same and the \u201cs&m newsletter\u201d became a publication of siegel & mendlowitz. after about two-thirds of the letters were stuffed in envelopes it dawned on me that s&m could refer to something not too professional; however, i was already invested in the process and sent it out anyway.<\/p>\n

well, this became an instant success, with many calls jeering and poking fun at us, but we received many requests to be put on the s&m newsletter mailing list. we expanded the \u201cbrand\u201d and eventually gave away over 600 s&m t-shirts. we even had two clients who met each other while jogging in paris wearing the shirts.<\/p>\n

i didn\u2019t think much about it at the time, but the newsletter provided an aura of expertise, giving me a vehicle to write and a credential as the \u201cpublisher\u201d of the s&m newsletter. at that same time, if we met people who asked if we had expertise in a particular area i said we published an internal memo on that topic and i would get it to them. thus was born the \u201cs&m internal memo\u201d with a quickly but thoroughly researched article or outline of the topic.<\/p>\n

today the www.partners-network.com<\/a> blog serves this same purpose. sometimes things seem to change but not really!<\/p>\n

the newsletter and memos became a substitute for a firm brochure (which i never had) and led to openings for people to call me with questions, asking assistance or wanting to become a client. this also led to martin edelston calling me and that became a major jumpstart to my career by making me a real published author.<\/p>\n

the inability to get published led to publishing our own firm newsletter, which probably was a greater benefit than the few articles that might have been published. a door closed, but a much greater one opened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
