Frequently
Asked Questions
Question:
Why
do people and businesses hire you as their consultant?
Answer:
The
selection process is based on knowledge of the industry, credibility,
work ethics, and a history of successful results.
I understand
the industries in which my clients operate and I remain current
on the issues affecting those industries. I bring a range of skills
and value-added services to the table and I convert them into
tangible benefits for my clients. I take a holistic approach to
solving the clients' needs / problem(s) until they are in control
of their business and personal finances; and I contribute to their
strategic thinking as they plan for the future. My client list
reads like the guest list at a prestigious award ceremony.
Question:
Do you
refer clients to other businesses? Does your company have a referral program?
If so, please explain.
Answer:
I
refer clients to other professionals and businesses and I can arrange
for celebrities to make personal appearances at special events. Tell
me what you would like me to do for you and the size of your budget.
Why would you want to work hard and wait for many years to reap the
reward when you can easily "cash in" on our success and become successful
quickly? I have endorsed books and clothing lines. I have a team
of advisors that scrutinize the products, history of the people behind
them, quality, content, and price and issue their approval or disapproval.
I use the results from their approval to position the product. My
personal recommendation, guarantee, and company signature logo are
powerful endorsements. They are like the
"Good Housekeeping" seal of approval or the "Motor
Trend" car approval.
Here is a quote from one of my students who has done over $1 million
in sales in her first year in a new location. "I opened
my second store to accommodate upscale shoppers and my collections
are flying off the racks... Thanks for believing in me and thanks
for being there for me." This is proof that even if
someone has a "home-run" strategy to sell their products,
they need to support their strategy with powerful endorsements from
reputable individuals or companies that their buyers can research
or communicate with. This is a similar situation whereby someone
who has the right credentials is required to have recognized references
to get the job.
Question:
You
are qualified to practice other professions. Why did you choose to
focus your practice on taxation?
Answer:
My
other qualifications have given me the opportunity to meet a lot
of people and obtain business from them, but I had been practicing
taxation for many years before I had those other qualifications.
I have been practicing taxation for over 25 years. I started during
the time of income averaging (Form 1040 Schedule
G) and during the time when married taxpayers were qualified for
a special deduction on Schedule "W" and on Form 1040 line 29. Practicing
taxation has opened a lot of doors for me and it has brought me
a lot of financial planning business because everybody,
including the rich and famous, is concerned about disposable
income
and wealth transfer taxes. Some of my greatest achievements have
been in the field of taxation. I have made money and become famous
practicing taxation. It gives me the flexibility to make money in
other niches and take vacation whenever I want to. The market may
be competitive like other markets are around the world, but government
statistics have shown an increase in the number of taxpayers. There
isn't a shortage of clients in this market. Why should I abandon
this profession?
Question:
A
lot of competitors have entered the tax preparation business. Aren't
you nervous about the competition?
Answer:
No. We provide an array of services to U.S. and foreign companies. I have signed contracts with several established companies that allow us to cross-market our services to our respective clients, thus keeping our name current in the marketplace. Also, every day millions of consumers around the world are searching
the Internet and hiring reliable service providers who are familiar with
their industries. My company is accessible from anywhere in the world via the Internet and I advertise
in several newspapers and trade magazines. The services I offer
are clearly explained. They are in demand because they are interconnected to other business/economic sectors. I have a proven track record of over 25 years for delivering
services that meet clients' expectations. My resume tells the whole
story.
