<\/a>what to do instead. by matt solomon<\/i><\/p>\n the way you price your services, how you sell them to clients and whether you can deliver at (or beyond) their expectations are key factors that determine the level of your success. if you do those three activities well, it should be easy to grow a profitable business, earn a great income and maintain a clear work\/life balance.<\/p>\n more: <\/b>the path to a conscious business<\/a> | are you running your practice by default?<\/a> | your secret weapon for exponential profits<\/a> the problem is that accountants often don\u2019t know how to price, sell and deliver correctly. in fact, the old (traditional) model that accountants use to price, sell and deliver services to their customers often leads to customer dissatisfaction, employee frustration and you working too many hours under too much stress. in many ways, this old model is fundamentally flawed. let\u2019s take a closer look at why.<\/p>\n pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n in the old way, pricing is where the problems start. the old way of pricing establishes the wrong dynamic between the customer and the firm, which creates a whole host of issues:<\/p>\n this approach to pricing leads to a misperception of the value of accounting work. customers aren\u2019t clear on what value is being offered, and accountants feel that their work isn\u2019t being appropriately appreciated \u2013 or compensated.<\/p>\n selling<\/strong><\/p>\n the old model for selling is where most of the pricing problems come home to roost. if firms can\u2019t identify and articulate the value of their accounting services, it\u2019s almost impossible to get customers to understand the value either! as a result, it becomes difficult to sell accounting services. here\u2019s how the traditional approach gets it wrong:<\/p>\n as you can see, this method is like throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks. it lacks a clear strategy and reinforces the poor dynamic between accountants and clients that we saw with pricing \u2013 clients aren\u2019t clear on what value is being offered, and accountants feel the need to push to sell their services.<\/p>\n delivering<\/strong><\/p>\n delivering services to the customer is the final step in this process, and it\u2019s what most accountants spend most of their time doing. if you\u2019ve ever felt like you\u2019re trapped on a hamster wheel, you know how it feels to \u201cdeliver\u201d over and over without really getting anywhere! in a traditional approach, delivering looks like:<\/p>\n most accountants would be happy to never suffer through a tax season again. but if your firm is delivering services the old way, then tax preparation probably makes up a big part of your business.<\/p>\n the new way<\/strong><\/p>\n hopefully, you\u2019re now convinced that the old model for pricing, selling and delivering is broken! fortunately, it is absolutely possible to free yourself from the old way of doing things. there is a better way to price, sell and deliver \u2013 and when you adopt this new method, you will attract better clients, work fewer hours and be able to build a business that supports your lifestyle (instead of the other way around).<\/p>\n the new way to price, sell and deliver involves:<\/p>\n it\u2019s hard for huge accounting firms to make such a big shift, but there is nothing stopping you from shaking up the system. when you move beyond the status quo and start giving customers exactly<\/strong> what they want, you\u2019ll receive compensation for value and a better quality of life in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" what to do instead.<\/strong>
