| Saying Good-Bye to Bad Fits |
|
Even if you try to act on the philosophy that
the customer is always right, sometimes you
have to admit that you are not the best fit
for a particular client.
You don't want to end this bad relationship
with a splashy break-up fight (no matter how
emotionally satisfying that might be).
Here are ideas on "firing" tactics, keeping
your action from backfiring, and avoiding
negative fallout.

| Panic is not a Strategy |
|
Just a few years ago we listened nervously
when supposed experts told about the new
stock market paradigm which said the only way
was up. We're listening uneasily now when
we hear similar experts tell us to grab our
cash and run for the hills.
We recommend taking a breath and calmly
developing a strategic plan for your
investments.
Consider the riskiness of a stock or other
investment, but also consider the risks in a too
conservative an investment.

| Is Your Accountant Worth Your Money? |
|
Are you satisfied with your current
accountant or CPA? Do they provide you with
the level of service, competence, and
benefits you deserve? If not, your choice of
CPA may be impacting your potential growth
and success.
To help you understand what your CPA should
provide, click on the logo to immediately
download your FREE assessment tool THE
PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT'S $CORECARD which
specifically outlines the skills,
credentials, competence, and benefits every
professional and business owner should demand
from their CPA.

Are You Hungry and Humble? |
|
|
|
Your personality and style are key to the
success of your business. In addition to the
product and service you think you're
providing, your clients are buying you.
Clients want you to be skilled at what you
do, but they also want you to want their
business and to be approachable as a human
being.
"That's not difficult!" you think.
You're right, of course. But read Laura
Laaman's article in the link below to hold a
mirror up to your business persona. Make
sure you're not crossing the line from
competence over to arrogance. Help your
clients be your fans by letting them do some of
the cheering for you.
