| Just a couple of questions about your clients....
1) What industry makes up the bulk of your clients? Building Contractors, Retail? 2) What is the predominant business type? Sole proprietorship, S corp, LLC? 3) Average capitalization of your clients? 4) Average transactions per month for your clients? Add anything that you might be of statistical interest. Thanks, Michael | |

| You name it, I've got it: Yard guys (careful - the sun cooks their brains), auto repair, property management, commercial property leasing, home health, realtors, A/C guys, RE development, restaurants, T-shirt screen printing, internet sales, insurance sales. Most are S-corps. Most of these people don't make huge amounts of money and are basically living paycheck to paycheck. But I can help them save some money on taxes and put some money aside for retirement. Lots of CPA's don't want this type of client because they can't cross-sell financial products. They become very dependent on me. Some prospective clients are hesitant about spending the money because their "wife/mother/girlfriend/sister can do the work". I ask them how long it would take each month to do the work and are they SURE it would be done right. I then tell them that I could change the oil in my car but it would take me all day to do it. Or, I could pay someone to do it and I know that it would be done right and faster. That's when they usually sign up! | |
