Customer Relationship Management
As an accountant, you’re constantly dealing with deadlines. When each new one approaches, your focus is on the returns, audits and other products you’ve been hired to produce. You want clients to see that you work hard for them and understand their specific needs.
With WORK[etc]’s CRM, you can be that accountant everyone loves to recommend to friends and business associates. With a centralized point of entry into each client’s complete account record, you can show clients that you care and increase business at the same time.
For example, the client record might mention important family milestones you can follow up on. Asking how that new baby or the college freshman is doing shows your attentiveness and might just inspire the client to add financial planning services to the tax work you provide.
You might see a note about a business client who’s thinking of retiring but expressed misgivings about the future of his company. You could turn his offhand comment into new business by proposing the development of a proactive succession plan and helping him envision it as a positive step.
Your services are multidimensional, and with WORK[etc], you can find opportunities to work for your clients all year long and throughout their lives — not just during tax season.
