Marketing is not a problem.
The majority of accounting firms don’t have an issue with marketing.
Governments drive compliance business to your firm every day.
The problem lies in picking the right profitable clients that you love working with and ensuring you have a proven, repeatable sales process to win that business.
​
It's a lack of sales skills.
As a partner in your firm, you are the rainmaker. Except when did you gain formal sales training and does your firm have a repeatable sales process?
