Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How comfortable are you with sales? If you're not comfortable with sales and selling but know you need to have an active business development program to keep your accounting practice dynamic . . . . . . well, you're in the right place. The Marketing Machine(R) for Small Business Accountants is all about using the magic of Direct Marketing techniques to override the typical use of token advertising and awkward sales tactics. Referrals are of course, the life blood of professional CPA services and the basis for business development programs. Are you getting too few referrals . . . or too many of the wrong kind? If you are relying on friends and associates for referrals, you may be sowing the seeds of decay for your firm's profitability and sustainability! As a professional CPA, your marketing success will be measured not by the volume of 1sttier referrals, but from the number of quality 2ndand 3rd tier referrals . . . recommendations by people who have no direct connection to you and who know you only by reputation. This multi-tiered approach is contrary to nearly every popular "referral program" out there. Find out how Krueger and Nicols, sales and marketing specialists with $billions in professional marketing and sales experience, make it work. The Marketing Machine(R) for Small Business Accountants cuts right to the chase in building a sustainable practice. With case studies, examples of direct mail - the most powerful and targeted of all advertising media - and stories from the trenches, you'll get a whole new perspective on the business you are really in. Krueger and Nicols agree that you can be doing any number of things right, but if you get three key things wrong you'll be pushing a rope uphill forever. Here's the success formula: Perfect Your Process - A haphazard "winging it" approach to finding clients and addressing their needs undercuts your credibility with prospective clients. But when you follow a consistent, disciplined playbook you'll inspire confidence in you and your firm - and quality referrals, too. Define Your Desired Client Base - Not all clients are alike and neither are their needs . . . or their profitability to you. It's absolutely critical that you identify the characteristics of clients you can serve successfully and profitably. Focus your marketing on these prospects and only these. Know How Many Clients you Want - How many new prospects can you and your firm handle each week and still deliver top notch services? Controlled growth is a basic requirement for an orderly practice that not only produces long-lasting and profitable clients, but inspires them to sing your praises as well. Unless you are flush with client business and record-breaking profits, you need to read this book. It's a book you will take into battle - and refer to again and again.

Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.
