What If In
2010 & 2011 I Could
Teach You
My Secret Strategies
Of How To Identify & Bring In A
Minimum of
$25,000 More In Revenues (For a Relatively Small Fee) By Being
Part of My Private Coaching Program AND If You DON'T
Bring In At Least $25,000 In Revenue I'll
Give You All Your Money Back?
(I'm holding a
free tele-class to explain my "Coaching Program" on
Tuesday, August 10, 2010 so if you're already interested in being on
the phone call, go ahead and click on find new clients and

“Troy, How Do I
Go About Building a Good System For Building Revenue and
Profits For My Practice ?”
I get asked this question a lot
these days. Worded another way, it's how do I
consistently add revenues and profits and new accounting clients to keep my practice
growing and profitable? It’s one of the hardest
things to do, especially for accountants.
Why? There are exceptions
but as a group, we work better with numbers and statements
than advertising and marketing our own business. I was
the same way.
If you know my story
you know about 10
years ago I struggled with finding new clients too. I
literally had 29¢ left in my checking account and was ready to
go back into a corporate accounting job when I took a class,
learned and implemented a "system" and then went on to build a
$6,000,000+ practice.
But Troy, It’s
Different Today Especially During Our Tough Economy
Yeah, I often hear that
when I talk to other accountants. And here’s what I tell them:
In a tough economy, in
a recession, in a credit crisis - whatever the business
situation - people and companies will ALWAYS need
accounting and tax services.
Of course, in difficult times
it’s natural for people and companies to tend to “stay with
what they have” and avoid changing who their accountant or
CPA is. This hasn't stopped me from sitting down with
potential new clients every week, learning about them and
bringing them on as new clients (while my competition is
trying to figure out what happened to the client that left
them).
It doesn't matter that the
economy is tough or there are other accountants and CPA's
right next door or down the road from you doing the same work
you do. Your job as a business owner is to evolve
and grow with the changing environment in order to keep your
practice running and growing.
To compensate for the weak
economy and beat your competition, you have to adapt to
these market conditions in one of 3 ways.
One is to Adapt
by Providing Potential Clients With
More Services at
the Same Cost
Than They Are Paying Today OR The
Same Services at
a Lower Cost
Than They Are Paying Today
If you come to potential
clients, asking them to test or try or switch to you instead
of their current accountant and you’re offering the same
services or same costs, you have little or NO CHANCE of
winning their business.
They think “why switch” or even
bother thinking about it. You had better offer something
different or better or you’re wasting time talking to anyone.
To overcome this way
of thinking on the part of potential clients I've developed a
menu of additional, complimentary, accounting related
services individuals and businesses services are attracted to.
I've learned to offer these services to my clients in subtle yet
effective ways that keep adding revenue to my practice.
You can and should be doing the same.
If for some reason you can’t
differentiate yourself in this way, the 2nd way to adapt
is to...
Become Better at
Approaching & Communicating
(also known as
MARKETING)
The Services You DO Offer And The Advantages To The Potential
Client of
Hiring You Instead of Your Competition.
You know that firm
down the street that gets clients you can’t?
They offer the same accounting,
bookkeeping and tax services you do. They are no better than
you but they always seem to pick up the bigger, better
clients. Why?
Because they are better at
“marketing” than you are. Maybe they have a “rainmaker”
that seems to attract business. Maybe they send out
mailings and have live events and people calling businesses to
set up appointments, stuff you’re not sure how to do yourself
but it seems to attract new business.
I'm not your typical
rainmaker but I know how to build simple systems using
simple tools to find and communicate with potential
clients, so they see me as a business resource - not just a
number crunching, bean counting, spreadsheet building
quintessential "accountant".
I'm sure the other
firms and CPAs in my area see my marketing and think "what is
he doing"? They don't "get marketing" and I do.
And as the saying goes, "in the land of the blind, the
one-eyed man is king"!
Well if you can’t figure out the
marketing side of your business (I can help you do this if you
register for the call below), the only other, 3rd and last
way to differentiate yourself is to...
Find a Specific
or Niche
Type of Client
That Is Relatively Abundant, Low Maintenance for You & Your
Staff AND
Is Affluent
and Can Easily Afford Your Current (Or HIGHER) Fees For Your
Services.
It’s always easier to sell
something to people with a lot of money than people who have
little or no money. The same goes for companies and
businesses.
People with money and profitable
businesses
cooperate with you and your staff, they pay their
bills and they don’t bitch and moan about your fees and
their don’t start shopping around when the economy is
bad, just to save a buck or two on their “accounting” costs.
How do I know this?
Because I’m doing this right now with a particular niche
market. And I’m picking up these clients NATIONALLY
(you should be able to pick them up locally).
And the fees I charge
them on a monthly basis and what I will collect from them for
the next 5-7 years (the bare minimum I expect them to be a
client of mine) is in the TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars
for just ONE CLIENT. If you find 7-8 of these clients
you should easily will collect $25,000 in additional fees in
2010.
Which brings me
back to the reason I emailed you in the first place...
What if
you could do ALL THREE of these things.
Offer more VALUE to
potential clients with more services at similar costs than
they are paying today.
Be better at communicating or
MARKETING your services, better than your competition
is today and...
Find a better type of
client that is either least affected by the current
economy, is last affected by a recession or in some cases is
NOT AFFECTED at all by the stock market and credit crisis.
On Tuesday,
August
10, 2010 at 1:00 pm ET I’m
going to host a live phone call and explain how I am doing ALL
THREE of these things in my accounting practice and if
you are seriously interested, I’ll explain my PRIVATE
12-MONTH LONG INNER CIRCLE COACHING PROGRAM program
in detail and how I can teach you how to do one, two or all
three of these things with your practice.
Click here to register.
But this won't be just another
typical call like I've done in the past. I'm going to be
VERY SELECTIVE about WHO I give access to, just to be on the
call. If you're thinking you're just register for the
call, listen in and see if you can glean a good idea or two
and then go back and apply it to your practice then you're
missing the point.
Building
Systems
Is the Key To Growing Your Practice, Especially In A Poor
Economy
I'm good at building SYSTEMS
around the 3 differentiation points I just discussed.
You can't and won't get how to build a "system" on my 60
minute call.
On the call I'm going to
talk
specifically about my products and services that attract
clients to my accounting practice.
I'm going to explain
my marketing and how I communicate to prospects and clients.
I'm going to reveal the niche market I'm targeting that you
can target for high value clients (and once you learn the
SYSTEM for getting them, you can target other high value
clients.
But the real value you'll
receive once you sign up for my private coaching program is
BEING PART of the program for 12 months (starting June 1, 2010
through May 30, 2011) where I TEACH YOU
HOW TO BUILD THE SYSTEMS AND USE THE TOOLS that
support the activities, products, services and related items
that will grow your practice.
Because of all this and the
level of information I'll be sharing I am not at all
interested in having what we in the investing business called
"plate lickers". Plate lickers are people you invite to
investment dinners where you talk about your services and then
feed them a nice meal - and they come with absolutely no
intention to invest with you but are ONLY there for the meal.
That's Why You
Need To
Fill Out An Application Just To Be On The Call
No Plate Lickers Allowed!!
Another reason is I want to only
work with ONE ACCOUNTANT or CPA in a particular city or region
(if you live in a Top 20 city with a census population over
half a million there's "room" for more than one person in your
area but I'll explain that more on the call).
And if you're serious about
growing your practice, I don't want you on the call along
with the CPA down the road from you. No reason to
literally give "them" any ideas so I'm protecting your
practice in advance from any competition and that's why I'm
being so selective about WHO is on the call in the first
place.
Plus in 2010, as my time grows
more scarce, I only want to be working with other
like-minded,
self-motivated, action oriented people. It's more
fulfilling for me and the people I'm coaching to get better
results when we're all pulling in the same direction.
And In The Actual
Monthly Program I'm
Not Just Going To
Give You A Recipe
For What To Do, I'm Going To Show You
Exactly How
The Sausage Is Made
If you don't get the sausage
metaphor, to use another analogy, I'm not going to just tell
you what time it is -
I'M GOING TO
EXPLAIN & SHOW YOU HOW TO BUILD THE WATCH.
I'm not going to just tell
you that you need to go out and add more services so
there are more reasons and opportunities for your clients to
hire you for accounting related projects - I'm going to
EXPLAIN HOW I DO IT AND SHOW YOU
HOW TO MODEL AND DUPLICATE WHAT I'M DOING (because it
works).
I'm not going to simply
tell you that you need to learn to be a better marketer
of your accounting practice, I'm going to
SHOW YOU HOW I'M MARKETING MY
ACCOUNTING PRACTICE, THE TOOLS I AM USING, and HOW TO
EFFECTIVELY USE THESE TOOLS SO YOU CAN GET THE RESULTS I AM.
I'm not going to quickly
tell you to find a better, more affluent type of client,
I'M GOING TO PULL BACK THE CURTAIN
IF YOU WILL AND TELL YOU SPECIFICALLY WHO I'M SUCCESSFULLY
TARGETING SO YOU CAN GO OUT AND DO THE SAME IN YOUR LOCAL
MARKET.
This is ANOTHER BIG REASON why
if you've gotten this far and you're SERIOUSLY INTERESTED in
GROWING YOUR PRACTICE -
you need to ACT NOW and not wait to
register for the call. There are specific
instructions you need to follow. Read the box below
first and then Register for the conference call at the very
bottom of the page if you UNDERSTAND the instructions (again
below).
CALL
REGISTRATION WARNINGS
# 1
- Because of the highly proprietary nature of the
information I’m going to be sharing on the phone call
PARTICIPATION IN EVEN THE CONFERENCE CALL EXPLAINING
THIS PROGRAM (details below) is not automatic, you
will need to apply first and I will approve
applications on a First-Registered-First-Approved basis.
#
2
AND if you ultimately participate in this program,
you will usually be the ONLY
ACCOUNTANT or CPA in the program within a certain
City or Metropolitan Statistical Area
(very high density / population MSAs may have more
than one participant).
#3
And even if you register, you may not be allowed to
be on the initial call because someone in your
geographic area registered before you did
OR you did not follow the specific REGISTRATION
STEPS I outline below...
READ THESE CAREFULLY...
Only if you are seriously
interested in learning how to grow your practice by
participating in a 12-MONTH LONG program
where I personally teach you how to:
(1) build client generating
systems,
(2) teach you how to communicate and market your
services better than your competition and
(3) target a
specific highly affluent customer market, that you can
learn and then apply to other niche markets - then
fill in
your contact information below.
After you do, via email you will be
immediately sent an application form to complete and fax back
in.
You have exactly 24 hours from filling in your information
below to fill out the application form and FAX it to our
offices at 317-581-1812 to reserve a phone line on the
conference call where I’ll explain the program.
If you’re application comes back
one-minute PAST the 24 hour time frame you miss your
opportunity to be on the live call. Why...
Because I have so many
accountants (in the thousands) in my database who have an
interest in growing their practice I can’t afford to waste
my time hand holding or trying to persuade anyone
who isn’t already pre-motivated,
action-oriented and deadline driven to initially
explore this program.
If you
are unsure about the 3 main elements of what I will be
teaching in this program - DO NOT CALL ME!
I'm Literally In & Out
Of My Office For The Next 2 Weeks
If You Are Unsure
About Anything - Go Back and
Reread
This Web Page!
If you don’t initially
understand what I’m going to be teaching you - then this
program is probably NOT FOR YOU.
And yes, after I explain the
actual program, to participate will require a fee or
investment on your part but it’s so small in comparison to
what you’ll generate in client fees FROM YOUR FIRST CLIENT
you’ll probably secretly think “why doesn’t Troy charge a lot
more for this information, access and learning experience? I
would have paid double or triple...”
My web master tells me I’m
running out of space on this web page
so go ahead and fill in
your contact information below and remember:
First Registered First Reviewed
- snooze you lose! So enter your information below NOW. Fill
out your application for the call and fax it back fast.
If you take more than 24 hours
TO FAX ME BACK, you’re out, don’t even fax it back it
because you flunked the Action-Oriented
and the Deadline Driven tests.
If your application is reviewed
and no one else from your city/MSA is already on the call,
I’ll then personally send you the dial in details and
private
access code for the conference call.

From Troy If You Have Read This Far...
Troy C. Patton, CPA
President Patton and Associates, LLC.
Hey it's Troy.
If you've read this far you've passed the
PRE-MOTIVATED test and
you are probably the type of accountant I want to work
with in 2010 & 2011 to help you grow your practice.
The other accountants who
aren't going to take the time or initiative to get this
are going to be sorry if they are in your town or city.
Why?
Because the strategies,
systems and tools I'm going to be teaching you very
shortly are going to give you the ability to
magnetically attract high quality and high value clients
in your local market. Your competition won't
know what hit them.
So you're
1/3 of the way there, don't blow it now!
Fill in your
contact info, get my application and off my email and fax
it back to me at 317-581-1812
If for some reason you DO
have a problem or don't get my email after you register
above, I am really in & out of the office for 2 weeks and
you'll have to call and ask for Sara Mahon, my
