Info
It’s exciting when clients come…. and challenging when they go. But these phases don’t have to be difficult.
Having tackled such tasks as identifying your ideal client, deciding on your pricing model, and creating your bookkeeping workflows and checklists, you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and dig into onboarding and offboarding, two opposite yet similar phases.
Collaborating with and inspired by other bookkeepers, you will create a personalized plan for how you want to engage and disengage with your clients. You will create workflows and checklists that contain key steps and critical components, based on your own unique business model. We will also explore engagement and disengagement letters, so you’re covered for either phase.
With these workflows established and letters ready, you can be confident that when a new client comes to you or an existing client leaves, you can immediately get down to business. This is especially helpful if the emotion of a disengagement is high.
You will leave this workshop with the following:
- Roadmap for onboarding
- Roadmap for offboarding
- Optimized Engagement Letter
- Disengagement Letter
Invest in this workshop and come away with a clear picture of exactly what needs to take place at either end of that client rainbow.
