        <![CDATA[<p><em>"Either we're both thrilled to work together or we shouldn't."<br></em><br>We believe that sales is designed to establish long-term partnerships rather than just making the sale. It's about partnership over promises. </p><p>Let’s be real - overpromising only leads to trouble down the line. It’s crucial to be clear about what you can deliver and, just as importantly, what you can’t. Clients will respect honesty, and that will set the stage for a long-term, trust-based partnership.</p><p><br>First impressions also matter, especially in our field. So, the initial onboarding experience is where you set the tone for everything that follows. Communication is the name of the game here. It’s likely the reason they came to you in the first place, so be clear, be concise, and don’t shy away from setting realistic expectations right from the start.</p><p><br>And repricing is one of the trickiest parts of client management. From fumbling through overly apologetic explanations to streamlining our process, there isn't one right way to do this... but there are a few wrong ones. Now, we keep it simple. We’re upfront about where our time goes, and we offer clients options that align with their values. Some clients want that deeper connection and are willing to invest more, while others prioritize affordability. It’s all about meeting clients where they are, without overcomplicating things.</p><p><strong><br></strong>Sales is tough, no doubt about it. But it doesn’t have to be miserable. By focusing on partnership from the outset, you set the stage for a relationship where clients are excited to say "yes"—and happy to keep saying it, even when you have to reprice their services.

How would they ideally receive referrals? </p><p>And at the end of the day, it often starts with your own generosity, so expecting to receive referrals before you've ever even given one isn't entirely realistic. </p><p>Once you've got a good sense of what  your referral sources do well, you can start informing them about how you best work. Are you taking on new clients? If so, in what industries? And what time of year do you take on clients if your business has a "busy season?" </p><p>Ultimately, who is your ideal fit client and how can you effectively refer ideal clients to each other? </p><p>Networking and referring effectively really comes down to building relational equity with other leaders in your circle. And how you do that matters. </p><p>Listen in to part 2 of 2, as Jill and Anna talk through their experiences and thoughts around networking &amp; referring effectively. </p><p><br><strong>Follow the Going to Be Good Podcast on Social Media</strong><br><a href="https://twitter.com/goinggoodpod">twitter.com/goinggoodpod/</a><br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/goinggoodpodcast/">linkedin.com/company/goinggoodpodcast/</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Goinggoodpodcast/100087559016648/">facebook.com/people/Goinggoodpodcast/<br></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/goinggoodpodcast/">instagram.com/goinggoodpodcast/</a></p><p><strong>Review</strong><br>Leave a review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-going-to-be-good-building-your-accounting-firm">Apple Podcasts</a> or Podchaser</p><p><strong>Subscribe</strong><br><a href="https://goingtobegood.com/subscribe">Subscribe to the Going to Be Good Podcast</a> in your favorite podcast app!</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>What does it look like to be an Ideal Team Player? We all bring different strengths and skills to an organization, but how can you build a team that works in alignment AND complements each other?  </p><p>Patrick Lencioni at The Table Group built a tool that helps you evaluate where you fall on the Venn diagram of Humble + Hungry + Smart. </p><p>We define "humility" a bit differently: It's not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less (C.S. Lewis). It's not just about avoiding pride or arrogance; it's also not about being self-deprecating or having a lack of confidence.  </p><p>"Hungry" is about being eager to work hard and strive for excellence... within the context of healthy boundaries. It's not really about being a workaholic or working so hard to get credit for the effort you put in.  </p><p>"Smart" is more about being emotionally intelligent and attuned to the thoughts and feelings of others than it is about being intellectually smart.  </p><p>Join us for part 1 of 2 episodes where Anna and Jill discuss The Ideal Team Player, how the tool is leveraged at Accrew, what it looks like in action, and how it's affected the way they work with team members and clients alike! </p><p><br><strong>Links mentioned in this episode<br></strong>Link to <a href="https://www.tablegroup.com/product/ideal-team-player/">The Ideal Team Player</a> (by Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group)</p><p><strong>Follow the Going to Be Good Podcast on Social Media</strong><br><a href="https://twitter.com/goinggoodpod">twitter.com/goinggoodpod/</a><br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/goinggoodpodcast/">linkedin.com/company/goinggoodpodcast/</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Goinggoodpodcast/100087559016648/">facebook.com/people/Goinggoodpodcast/<br></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/goinggoodpodcast/">instagram.com/goinggoodpodcast/</a></p><p><strong>Review</strong><br>Leave a review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-going-to-be-good-building-your-accounting-firm">Apple Podcasts</a> or Podchaser</p><p><strong>Subscribe</strong><br><a href="https://goingtobegood.com/subscribe">Subscribe to the Going to Be Good Podcast</a> in your favorite podcast app!</p>]]>

Miserable is a choice.<br></strong><br>During busy season, if clients aren't responsive or don't send everything over to you early, it feels like you only have two options: you can either be the hero who swoops in and saves the day for your client OR you are the villain if you didn't finish everything, even though you didn't have what's needed. There is another option, though. </p><p>Listen in as Jill and Anna discuss the idea of establishing a plan for busy season and guiding clients effectively, so that future you is grateful to past you. </p><p><strong>Links to resources mentioned in this episode<br></strong>Link to <a href="https://businessmadesimple.com/the-customer-is-the-hero/">Building a Story Brand - The Client is the Hero of the Story</a></p><p><strong>Follow the Going to Be Good Podcast on Social Media</strong><br><a href="https://twitter.com/goinggoodpod">twitter.com/goinggoodpod/</a><br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/goinggoodpodcast/">linkedin.com/company/goinggoodpodcast/</a><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Goinggoodpodcast/100087559016648/">facebook.com/people/goinggoodpodcast/<br></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/goinggoodpodcast/">instagram.com/goinggoodpodcast/</a></p><p><strong>Review</strong><br>Leave a review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-going-to-be-good-building-your-accounting-firm">Apple Podcasts</a> or Podchaser</p><p><strong>Subscribe</strong><br><a href="https://goingtobegood.com/subscribe">Subscribe to the Going to Be Good Podcast</a> in your favorite podcast app!</p>]]>
