			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left"src="http://startbookkeeping.com.au/start-book-keeping/notice-board.jpg" alt="why Start Bookkeeping with Direct Marketing" />To build a successful bookkeeping business as a sole trader, you are looking for between 16 &#8211; 20 regular clients.</p>
<p>When sourcing new bookkeeping clients we do not focus on &#8220;pro-forma&#8221; marketing letters or brochures because in our experience they are not that effective. If they were, everyone that did it would have huge businesses. In most cases direct marketing letters are treated like junk mail.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve found that a properly constructed and worded website is far more effective than direct marketing. It&#8217;s easier to service someone who is looking rather than persuade someone who is not looking for your services. </p>
<p>If you want help with your bookkeeping website, then <a href="http://startbookkeeping.com.au/contact-start-bookkeeping-business/">contact us NOW</a></p>
<p>You have a particular personality, and particular skills that sets you apart from other bookkeepers in your area &#8211; and its those qualities that you should focus on.</p>
<p>Bookkeepers build their businesses on word of mouth and business relationships.</p>
<p>Everywhere you go you are meeting potential clients &#8211; it&#8217;s how you handle those encounters that will determine the success of your business.</p>
<p>Understanding a what bookkeeping business is, and how clients respond, is an important part of the marketing of your business. It&#8217;s about &#8220;What&#8217;s in it for me (the client)&#8221; not what&#8217;s in it for you the bookkeeper.</p>
<p>The book  &#8220;<a href="http://startbookkeeping.com.au/how-to-find-bookkeeping-clients/">Secrets To Finding Bookkeeping Clients</a>&#8221;  is full of ideas and<br />
strategies that bookkeepers can take on board. For bookkeepers that still need further help, we developed our <a href="http://bookkeepingteam.net.au/"target="_blank">marketing program</a>. </p>
<p>This is tailored to suit the needs of individual bookkeepers to suit their circumstances &#8211; bookkeepers that have come on board have built their businesses upto +$50,000 pa in less than a year.</p>

What if, just by some fluke of chance, you picked up a tiny piece of information in that book that led you to finding a new client? What if that client started out being only a couple of hours a week?</p>
<p>What if that client was expanding their organisation, and ten years later you were stilll working with that client you&#8217;d earned in excess of $200,000 from that one initial appointment?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If finding bookkeeping clients is so simple, why do so many bookkeepers struggle to get their own bookkeeping business started?</p>
<p><img class="right"src="http://startbookkeeping.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bookkeeping-newspaper-advert.jpg" alt="Why Finding Bookkeeping Clients Is Simple" title="Why Finding Bookkeeping Clients Is Simple" width="231" height="209" class="size-full wp-image-662" />We receive emails from accountants and bookkeepers that have been working in the industry for years, and then become frozen like rabbits in the car headlights at night. They become mesmerized by the prospect of having to find bookkeeping clients.</p>
<p>You may be a very good bookkeeper, but how do you tell that to a business owner who has had a few bad experiences with previous bookkeepers?</p>
<p>After you&#8217;ve spent money putting an advert in the local newspaper, or yellow pages, you sit back and wait for the phone to ring &#8211; right? Well, good luck with that. Consider this: the advertising industry tends to make the money on the sale of their product, not on the sale of your product / service.</p>
<p>The success of your advertisement is of no importance to your local newspaper or printed business directory. So now bookkeepers are turning to PPC (pay per click) campaigns on the internet. </p>
<p>That sort of strategy can be succesful, depending on a few factors such as bidding for the correct keyword, having the correct landing page, and then being able to convert your lead.</p>
<p>We receive daily enquiries from small business owners seeking a reliable bookkeeper. It&#8217;s not exactly rocket science, which is why bookkeepers have been asking us how to find clients themselves. </p>
<p>To make life simpler for everybody, we compiled a book, aptly named &#8220;<a href="http://startbookkeeping.com.au/how-to-find-bookkeeping-clients/">Secrets To Finding Bookkeeping Clients</a>&#8221; which will answer many of the questions you already have, and also some that you haven&#8217;t even thought of yet.</p>
<p>If you are struggling to find book keeping clients, then do yourself a favour and get yourself a copy of &#8220;<a href="http://startbookkeeping.com.au/how-to-find-bookkeeping-clients/">Secrets To Finding Bookkeeping Clients</a> and discover for yourself why finding book-keeping clients is so simple.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you want to know why finding bookkeeping clients is common sense? We received feedback from a bookkeeper who&#8217;s been reading our <a href="http://startbookkeeping.com.au/how-to-find-bookkeeping-clients/"target="_blank">EBook &#8220;Secrets To Finding Bookkeeping Clients&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Some bookkeepers may well find that most of the content is &#8220;common sense&#8221;. But have you noticed how so many people seem to overlook what is often right under their noses.</p>
<p>For some bookkeepers that have experience, much of the information will not be new. The feedback that we have had from other bookkeepers is that they had forgotten, or were not even aware of, many of the techniques covered.</p>
<p>Should a bookkeeper sit down and work through even only a handful of the suggestions, and really followed them through, then they would soon have more clients than they could handle</p>
<p>The book has not been produced to win the Booker Prize, or become an acclaimed literary mastepiece. Whether or not it is gramatically correct does not detract from the message, and many bookeepers have been able to boost their business from concepts outlined in the book</p>
<p><em>A business associate recently asked a computer techie to fix a problem with in his office, and was charged $300 for 15 minutes work. The client was stunned, and asked for a breakdown of the invoice</p>
<p>Certainly, the techie replied: &#8221; $30 for turning a screw two and a half times, and $270 for knowing which screw to turn&#8221;</p>
<p>Was it worth $300? Maybe, maybe not &#8211; If the client was losing business because his computer system wasn&#8217;t working, then maybe it was worth it</em></p>
<p>We built a business from zero from trial and error. It took time and persistance. This book has helped bookkeepers by saving them time, and more importantly money, and even if they pick up only one tip, they are virtually guaranteed a return on their investment.</p>
<p>You want to know how much to charge your bookkeeping clients? That&#8217;s a good question &#8211; we&#8217;ve helped bookkeepers increase their income dramatically &#8211; here&#8217;s a video that may help</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have a service whereby we help experienced bookkeepers source clients &#8211; we do not work with every bookkeeper, and neither do we take on every client &#8211; we are looking to get the right / client / bookkeeper teamed up, so that everybody wins. <a href="http://www.bookkeepingteam.net.au"> &#8230; more details here</a> </p>
<h3>What is involved in the Bookkeepers Marketing Program?</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.bookkeepingteam.net.au/">Bookkeepers Marketing Program</a> is designed for bookkeepers who are starting, or who already have their own bookkeeping business, tailored to your business.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bookkeepingteam.net.au/"><img class="right"src="http://startbookkeeping.com.au/start-book-keeping/bookkeepers-marketing-program1.gif" alt="Marketing Your Bookkeeping Services" /></a>It’s designed for bookkeepers with knowledge and experience in doing bookkeeping. We do not train you in how to become a bookkeeper. We’ll help you through the hurdles and obstacles involved in getting your bookkeeping business operational.</p>
<p>This is not a franchise. You do not sub-contract to us as a bookkeeper, you will be contracting directly to the business owner / operator who is needing bookkeeping services.</p>
<p>Ask any small business owner, and they will tell you that certain sacrifices have to be made short term, for a long term gain. </p>
<p>We have many bookkeepers who have been very grateful for the service we offer, as they have found it to be a great boost to their business, and their income. These bookkeepers have gained insight into promoting their businesses, how to manage their time more effectively, and other tips that may have taken them years to learn. </p>
<p>They appreciate that our service is not &#8220;just about getting three clients&#8221;,  it&#8217;s about gaining knowledge to build a self sustainable business, that has the potential for an income in excess of $100k. See our <a href="http://www.bookkeepingteam.net.au">Bookkeepers Marketing Program</a> for more details</p>
