bissett bullet: keep it simple

today’s bissett bullet: “is your marketing copy based on what you want to tell people you do, or what they want you to do for them?”

by martin bissett

i am not an accountant, i am a business owner. when i talk to other business owners about what they want from their accountant, they all say the same two things:

1) i want someone to make my life easier and
2) i want someone to help me make more money. anything else is unnecessary.

we need to articulate our services in those terms. how does what we do make their lives easier and how does it put more money in their pockets?
