Summary
I have been chatting with Marcus Batson from Swoop this week, which has been eye-opening. Marcus drives home how crucial it is for accountants like me to offer funding and savings solutions that align with client's needs. He stresses the importance of getting to know our clients deeply so we can provide proactive advisory services that truly make a difference.
Marcus's advice about focusing on specific client personas and addressing their unique challenges resonates with me as a marketer. He encourages us to ask personal questions empathetically, helping us uncover exactly what our clients require. Music to my ears!
Of course, we naturally move on to marketing and sales strategies within accounting firms; Marcus highlights the significance of building strong client relationships and leveraging our team's expertise and the potential resistance from team members towards sales and marketing activities and the need to adapt to different generations' values.
So much covered in so little time.Â
