Scott’s IntroductionScott Cytron discusses his early beginnings as a Journalism major at the University of Missouri, and how he struggled to find work shortly after graduating. Scott talks about how difficult the job market was at the time, and how even after countless interviews, he was not finding any work. He then started working as a volunteer writer for United Way, and how even though he was not making any money, this allowed him to gain the networking skills that he would use in the future. Because of his work with United Way, he eventually landed a job with the American Red Cross.“And yeah, I mean, it was like, joke pay, but it was a job and I was glad to have it.” Scott says in reference to how much he made at his first job. Scott also shares how he found his way into the accounting industry; he was recruited for a position at the Texas Society of CPAs, a position he held for 9 years. Being Laid off and Starting His Own CompanyScott shares that he was laid off from his position, and talks about the grief he struggled with following the lay off.Shortly thereafter, he was contacted by a few vendors he worked with while he was at the CPA society. He was asked to teach the sales people how non-profits thought and operated so they could sell more affinity cards. With Scott’s experience working with nonprofits, this ended up being a great gig for him, and with more vendors starting to contact him, this eventually led him to start his own business.Importance of NetworkingScott then shares how important networking was when he started his business.“And one thing led to another and I networked. I really, I let absolutely everybody I know, I told everybody, I know what I wanted to do, and what I was doing.” Scott shares. Dawn agrees and says networking is key when trying to gain clients and being “loud and proud” about what you do will help you reach more people who are in need of your services.Scott also shares how as a business owner or accounting professional, you can always be doing something to increase your reach with new clients. He encourages people to take their clients out to lunch, schedule “coffee talks,” and how developing these relationships can lead to not only more work in general, but meaningful work as well.Keeping The Client and Yourself Happy Scott and Dawn also share how important it is to maintain a good relationship with your clients, and while it’s important to make them happy, it’s also important that they make you happy.“And I at this point, if I'm not having fun, or Brian isn't having fun working…I'd rather go do something else. Yeah, because life is too short,” shares Scott. Scott then shares about how important it is to maintain integrity and honesty with your clients, and says,“My best day is when a client will call me up… and say, ‘I've got a problem. Can you help me fix it?’ Because to me that says you totally believe in my integrity.” Want to view on YouTube? Click here!Want to hear more episodes? Listen here!
