It happens to every successful business: you installed a shiny new Avaya Partner Systems network and it worked beautifully. A little too beautifully. Business became so productive and so efficient that more and more employees had to be hired. Soon Cheap Air Max 360 , there weren't any available lines or extensions. Chaos reigned. Employees had to share phones, 5 people to a phone. You had to disconnect from the internet so you could plug in your fax machine.
Company heads spent countless hours in meetings, sending memo after memo filled with cries for help. Buying another network was suggested by a lower ranking executive, but he was fired for offering silly, wasteful ideas.
There is an answer though Cheap Air Max 2019 , a solution, a way out from the despair and misery caused by a fundamental lack of lines and extensions. Modules.
Modules are Quick and Easy
Modules are the key that unlocks the door to providing a phone for every employee, a port for every computer and fax machine. So expand quickly and with ease. Sleep soundly knowing you're picking an efficient, cost effective trunking option.
The T1 module has two benefits: it adds 16 lines of fractional T1 service and better utilization of T1 functionality. But why stop at a single module; more employees equals more lines, and one module only gives you 16 extras.
Purchase multiple modules Cheap Air Max 2018 , and you can create the perfect network, capable of supporting all your employees. Depending on how you configure them, the modules can either add up to 19 lines and 44 extensions, or 31 lines and 8 extensions. It's your choice, based on your needs.
Modules Have Features
Modules have another benefit: they have features. The features are icing on the network expanding cake. The cake is rich and moist; the flavor is perfectly balanced without being too heavy. On its own Cheap Air Max 2017 , the cake would be just fine. But the icing adds a whole new dimension to the cake. A new characteristic that enhances the overall flavor of the cake. It's the same way with the modules and features.
They come with advanced telephony capabilities that help increase the productivity and efficiency: caller ID, send all calls, and 5 party conference call. The features also boost mobility; Cell Phone Connect and Remote Call Forwarding work in conjunction allowing you to receive business calls anywhere you go.
When it comes to selling things, the human tendency to package can make life easier. When you're marketing yourself and trying to sign on new clients, you'll want to take full advantage of aspect of human psychology. Bundle services together and suddenly a new client will be bringing you as much business as two or three clients in the past.
When it comes to buying things Cheap Air Max 2 Uptempo , packages are attractive because they seem to simplify the client's life. If an insurance company offers me a package deal on car insurance, home owner's insurance, and life insurance, suddenly I have so many fewer decisions to make--and I don't have to deal with three different insurance agents. I might save some money, but even if I don't Cheap Air Max 180 , I save aggravation and time, and most people value their time as much as their money. Costco or BJ's Club are good examples of packaging in the retail world, and the number of people that flock to these giant stores indicate the popularity of packaging. Fast food places have the value meal, which is a package of a sandwich, fries and a drink.
What is also important is to offer different packages Cheap Air Max 120 , i.e. to give the client options. When I first started out, I offered piecemeal services at standard rates. Then I realized that clients work in a different way. Many people like options. They don't want to be "forced" into taking something that doesn't suit them. They want the option of small, medium and large. Going to the example I gave of the restaurant, they have a small value meal, medium or large.
"Small Cheap Air Max 1 , medium, or large" doesn't quite work for accounting services. The principle I use to distinguish between levels of service is this: the more accessibility to me and to my staff a package offers the client, the higher the fees. So while we can custom tailor the service package to fit their needs, nonetheless the services are packaged based on frequency.
In addition to packaging your services, you should consider cross-selling. Many years ago I learnt while attending a seminar by the legendary marketer Jay Abrahams that there are 3 ways to grow your practice:
1) Increase number of new clients 2) Increase the fees paid by each client 3) Increase the frequency of purchase or sell the same client more services
Cross selling is the way the CPA practitioner increases the frequency of purchase.
When you have a relationship with the client Cheap Air VaporMax , you can offer them other services that will help the client. How does one go about finding out the services that your clients need? Not to oversimplify it, but really, the best way to find out is by asking. We recently conducted a survey and we called up most of my business clients to ask them how we were scoring and what else we could do that could help them. It's really very instructive to hear the clients' perspective on things. I have also found this to be one of the best ways to find out other services we should be providing.
Here's a partial list of additional services to offer:
聲 Financial planning or wealth management services 聲 QuickBooks consulting - Outsourced accounting (A couple of years, we packaged our QuickBooks consulting services as either a 10-hour package or a 20-hour package, to be used in one year.) 聲 Audit protection 聲 Business consulting 聲 Business valuation services 聲 Payroll services 聲 Controllership services
