bissett bullet: who are your centers of influence?

today’s bissett bullet: “who is sending new business your way and who isn’t but really ought to be?”

by martin bissett

a “center of influence” is someone who is well known and respected within their community or industry and as a result is a valued and trusted source of referral.

this may be a restaurant owner who knows everybody in the local area because they come through their door on a regular basis, or the head of your local chamber of commerce or networking group.

today’s to-do:

list two or three people who are influential in your local area that you don’t have a relationship with but you should, and get to know them. identify a mutual contact who could make an introduction or a local networking event where you might have an opportunity to speak with them.

with liz farr

when jason blumer and julie shipp joined forces to build blumer cpas more than a decade ago, they eschewed the traditional partnership structure, where decision-making power depends on ownership percentage. instead, blumer says, “we figured out the ownership is a legal reflection of the companies, but they do not reflect anything we do together in our roles.”

together, they also formed thriveal, a support community for accounting firm owners. blumer is the ceo and visionary for the firm and shipp is the coo and integrator. this separation of ownership from roles allows them both to be, as shipp says, “100% in my role and have 100% the authority of my role.”
