Michelle Weinstein is joined by Ron Saharyan, Co-Founder of Profit First Professionals, to talk about how accountants should position themselves when connecting with prospective clients without giving away very specific solutions. Sharing the story of one of his clients that he calls Joe, he explains how to present services in an inviting way and properly align with the client's perception of success.
