Many accountants find themselves unable to secure deals with potential clients since they already give away too much during prospect calls. Hiring them doesn't matter anymore. Therefore, a proper accounting sales plan must be put in place to learn how to entice people to what you can offer after they actually pay for your services. 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. Ron also discusses the art of saying no and the right time to offer extra services without charging. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! https://theabundantaccountant.com/

Getting a good grasp of the value that you can deliver to your clients and actually charge for it is the most powerful thing that you can do for yourself as an accountant. When you undervalue your work, your clients will too and you will end up chasing every bit of dollar that is not worth your time. How do you know what your worth truly is and translate that into a fair price tag? For this Abundant Accountant case study, Michelle Weinstein brings in Dave O'Brien, an independent accountant who works with construction companies and consultants to develop and enhance successful project strategies. For years, Dave has struggled because he has constantly undervalued his work. Through Michelle’s coaching, Dave understood his value and he learned to say no to clients who take advantage of him.

The first thing an accountant should do to get out of their own way is to be aware of their own ineffective behavior. Through experience, Michelle Weinstein has observed how many accountants are getting in their own way because of their limiting beliefs. These toxic thoughts often come through from the unconscious mind and they can be sneaky if you’re not cognizant. Paul Ross, a master of neuro-linguistic programming, joins her in this conversation to explain how you can identify what limiting beliefs you have and overcome them so that you can cease to be the greatest obstacle to your own success. In any battle between your unconscious and conscious mind, the unconscious mind is always going to win. There are three magic words you can use to rewire your unconscious mind: “Up Until Now.” Do you want to learn how to properly use this phrase and break your limiting beliefs?
