bissett bullet: take charge

today’s bissett bullet: “the reason that accounting professionals don’t close deals in a timely manner is that they leave it to the prospect.”

by martin bissett

we know that marketing is all about getting appointments in the diary, but when we get to that all-important first meeting, we find out what service the business is currently receiving from their present accountant, establish that we offer some services that they would benefit from and then leave it up to the prospect. that is why the trail goes cold; that is why we struggle to get a return phone call.

it’s up to you to create enough interest to get the second meeting arranged during the first.

today’s to-do:

look at your last three unsuccessful proposals and reflect on those meetings. did you ask for the second meeting or did you leave it to them? in hindsight, what would you have done differently? is there a recurring theme?
