How to Grow Your Firm in a turbulent market

Win better quality clients, gain higher fees and earn more profits

Hi,

I'm David Oliver, founder of Insight, and it’s my pleasure to extend a personal invitation to join our team for the very last Grow Your Firm event in 2011. In this content-packed day we will share with you proven ideas, techniques, tools and recommendations that are all working for other accountancy firms right now, in what many are calling 'The New Economy'.

I'm not suggesting it's easy right now – far from it! Firms without a proven, reliable way of generating new, quality clients are having a really tough time. Almost everyone we speak to has lost clients, or has had fees negotiated down. Some have even gone out of business altogether. That's just one reason among many for you to take practice growth more seriously than ever before.

During the day you'll discover tactics and techniques that will help you win better quality clients, charge higher fees, and earn more profit. Those firms already benefiting from this approach recognise that 20% practice growth is genuinely achievable in the current climate. Plus – we’ll show you a unique process that makes it easy to acquire and retain more clients, at the right fee levels, with less effort and less cost than you would think is possible.

And that's not all…

Many workshops end on a high note, then good intentions and great ideas fade. That’s why as part of your registration, you’ll receive 6 months practical, hands-on, after-event support worth over £2400. It’s yours free of charge and without obligation.

Numbers are deliberately restricted to ensure high value for all participants, therefore I would encourage you to register promptly.

If you take your firm's growth seriously and would like to win higher value clients and increase your profits then this workshop is essential for you.

Registering is simple,
simply call us on 0800 803 0826

Warm regards

Good intentions are easily lost and we want to help you get true value from your attendance and subsequent implementation. That’s why for the first time ever, we are giving every delegate a free 90 minute 1:1 consultation with one of our senior team. Of course there is a limit to what we can cover in 90 minutes, so we focus on the area’s most important to you following the workshop. We will work together to populate a 12 month step-by-step implementation plan and other areas relating to your practice growth.

As part of this exclusive workshop you will receive an independent diagnostic report of your practice website. This report analyses your competitors who currently have a top 10 ranking and compares them against your own web page. It tells you in plain English how the top performing competitors achieved their Google ranking, and what you can change to obtain a similar or better ranking.

2 Free webinars

In the UK, the trust that clients place in their accountant is legendary. And yet so few accountants recognise their client’s needs for these additional services that these same clients would love to benefit from. These two webinars will give you all you need to bolt on new services at no cost – complete with web collateral and promotional materials.

Its natural to have questions, so here are some of those more commmonly asked.
Please feel free to call our team on 0800 80 30 826, if there is anyting more that you would like to know.

What are the timings for the day?

9:00 am registration for a 9:30 am start. 4:30 pm finish followed by networking. Lunch and refreshments are included.

Is there parking at the venues?

We handpick all our venues to ensure there is parking at or very close to the venue, to make it as easy as possible for you to attend. For full details of venues, maps and directions visit www. salesforaccountants.com/gyf

Can I bring a colleague, guest or client with me?

Yes. It’s very common for delegates to bring along a colleague, guest or even a client. We have deliberately structured the ticket price, so it’s affordable and great value for everyone. There is no limit to the number of tickets per firm (while tickets are available).

Is it repeated information or new material?

This workshop contains brand new material in response to the new economy in which we are all operating. Therefore it’s a must for new and previous delegates alike.

We already have a sales and marketing plan, should we still attend?

If you already have a sales and marketing plan that is great news, as you have clearly taken some practical steps to grow your firm. However, the marketplace has changed dramatically in recent times, and some of your activities may now be outdated and not cost-effective. The topics covered during the day will be an excellent source of new ideas, tools, and techniques for progressive accountancy firms.

Who should not attend?

The workshop will cover material that can be applied to a broad range of firms. However, we like presenting to an audience that is keen to listen, has a positive attitude, and a desire to implement the ideas given supporting evidence. If this is not you, or the firm you represent, this workshop is probably not for you.

Will there be a lengthy sales pitch from Insight?

No! Following feedback from previous events there will be no sales pitch! Just great value for every delegate.
