I told you about the importance of phone calls – and why you should NEVER charge for one.
Of course, while you can’t avoid phone calls from your clients, you can’t spend hours on the phone either. But, how to avoid excess communication and still show your customers that you care?
As an Accountant, you don’t sell time. You already know that – you sell what you know. You sell knowledge, wisdom & solutions. You turn intellectual capital (what you know) into intellectual property (a report, paper, file etc). Having said that the majority of the Accountants I have met (over 175,000 of them in the past 24 years) have set their business model up as a ‘labor for hire’ business – a time seller!
