\u201cas long as the roots are not severed, all is well. and all will <\/em>be well in the garden.\u201d<\/p>\n

that great line is from the 1979 movie \u201cbeing there,\u201d starring peter sellers as the simple-minded chance the gardener, whose unpretentious dialog is misinterpreted by titans of government and industry as being extraordinarily prescient.<\/p>\n

but this line is a perfect way to begin talking about cpa firm marketing and growth. the \u201croots\u201d of revenue growth are these:
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. growth is<\/em> change, and if your firm doesn\u2019t change, it\u2019s easier for other firms to take your clients. like most organizations, without growth and change, cpa firms become complacent, stagnate, are condemned to a lifetime of mediocrity and eventually wither away.<\/li>\n
  2. as with so many business triumphs, growth starts with the right attitude and the willingness to do things that may be outside your comfort zone.<\/li>\n
  3. understanding clients\u2019 needs and providing great service are prerequisites to growing with<\/em> them.<\/li>\n
  4. firms with a marketing strategy that gets executed will outgrow those that shoot from the hip or stand around waiting for good things to happen.<\/li>\n
  5. don\u2019t be ordinary. don\u2019t be like every other cpa firm. fall in love with different.
    \n<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    essential terms
    \n<\/strong><\/p>\n

    practice development = marketing + business development (sales)<\/h5>\n

    these terms are mercilessly and exasperatingly misused throughout the cpa profession. they are often mistakenly used interchangeably. understanding these terms is critical.<\/p>\n
