Getting Clients on Your Roster
So you’re meeting with a potential client in order to explain exactly why your accounting services are the best, to convince them that working with you will make their business more profitable. How do you ensure the meeting will go well? Here are six tips you should consider:
1. Know ThyselfHow do you measure up to the competition? You should be able to explain why your services exceed that of your competitors. Consider these things before you even meet with a client so that you are ready to articulate the benefits of your services.2. Be casual, not cannedAll small business owners, including accountants, should have a sales pitch ready to deliver. The key is in making it sound casual, genuine, and spontaneous. A canned sales pitch turns clients off and may cause them to think they’re one of many potential clients on a sales pitch assembly line. Think of ways you can alter the pitch and make it unique for this particular client.3. Think of the clientBefore meeting with a potential client you should do a little homework to determine what they do and how your services could accommodate their needs. When a client feels you appreciate their needs and are aware of the unique nature of their business they will be more likely to enlist your help.4. Listen to the clientThe biggest mistake you could make in this crucial meeting with a potential client is to blather on and on about yourself without giving the client a second-thought. You’d be surprised at how well a client can articulate their own accounting needs, enabling you to alter your approach in order to respond to their specific requirements and concerns.5. Give them a dealEveryone likes a deal; rewarding potential clients for listening to your pitch by offering a discount can increase your chances of retaining their business.6. Exhibit confidenceMost importantly, you need to exhibit confidence (not arrogance). A potential client won’t enlist your services if they suspect that you’re uncertain of your own abilities. Confidence breeds confidence and a potential client will feel much more comfortable with you if they recognize your self-assurance.
