bissett bullet: give them a reason

today’s bissett bullet: “‘businesses like what we have to say, they just don’t want to change their accountant.’ really? then why were they talking to you?”

by martin bissett

so often we make excuses for why we did not win work and why we did not have the guts to go through with actually asking for the business. i get told so often that a prospect does not want to change their accountant.

there are only two possibilities here:

1. either they were wasting your time, unlikely, or

2. they did not have a strong enough case for changing, likely.

if that is the case, revisit exactly what is involved in your conversation with the prospective client because you were not there for the sake of their health. you were there to discuss them coming to work with you. if they do not want to change, ask yourself why not?

today’s to-do:

if you were to be honest with yourself, how many prospective clients really do not want to change their accountant, and how many just did not see the reason to? now, on that basis with that reality confronted, be stronger in your next meeting with a prospective client.

the main explanation we hear for not having such a document is that they are afraid creation of this document will backfire. they are afraid that an underperforming staff will wave this document in front of the managing partner’s face, informing him/her that they have fulfilled all the criteria for making partner and demanding a date for coronation.

outlook & analysis

outlook: a 40-hour workweek is feasible

business development can be done remotely, but it can’t be skipped.

by carl george
the rosenberg map survey

editor’s note: every year, the rosenberg map survey asks the industry’s top consultants to share their observations from cpa firms across the country. how do you think the next 12 months will unfold? also, how would you assess the last 12 months?

firms will continue to upgrade their client profiles and disengage from clients that no longer fit. disengagement is one of the major initiatives that must occur to meet the challenge of the “40-hour guarantee.”
