Sara Dann

We are continuing our short rewind series and sharing another incredible interview that we did a little over a year ago.Just like last week, I chose this episode because I've been getting a lot of questions and comments which are directly addressed in this episode: how to confidently sell your virtual bookkeeping services. Sara Dann is the queen of confidence, in my opinion. While Sara was my coach, my attitude changed from "Oh my gosh, you're picking me? Thank you so much!" to "You're f-ing welcome!" – with Sara's help. This is such a badass way of doing business with an attitude I will NEVER let go of again! It has absolutely changed my approach to business development, client fulfillment, and how I generally show up in life. And I'm sure it'll help you, too!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

REWIND: Confidently Selling Your Services with Sara Dann

Nikki Tucker

Have you ever taken a trip down memory lane, and thought, wow, that was really fun, I should do it again? Well, that's what's happening on this week's episode. I've been answering a lot of questions about one of my favorite ways to build a network: referral marketing. And I've been referring people back to a past podcast episode I did with my good friend Nikki Tucker, who is a financial strategist for female breadwinners who are considering divorce. After about the 4th or 5th time I mentioned this episode, I realized I should just do a rewind episode and let you all listen to it again. Nikki's zones of genius are strategic thinking and training, and she uses that to show women how to confidently maintain their financial security whether they end up divorced or not. Nikki and I have known each other for years, so we had a great time talking about how she got started on her career path, how referrals play a role in her business, how she works with other financial professionals, and tips on how to develop professional relationships!

Today I want to cover probably the most important topic on this podcast so far: I'm going to be sharing some perspectives I hold on the bookkeeping industry as a whole, and what I mean when I say "Bookkeeper Evolution." For decades, bookkeepers have been placed in a small, truly undeserved box.Most people think they are low-level data entry clerks who hand over their work to other people who are theoretically more important than they are. Bookkeepers have been undervalued, underappreciated, and underpaid for far too long.The Bookkeeper Evolution is my mission and movement to create structure around the change that is coming to the bookkeeping industry. It's beyond a belief system, marketing strategy, or framework. It's the culmination of my experiences of more than 30 years in this industry.In this episode, I talk about: What's actually working in the bookkeeping industry these days,What's not working in this space, andWhat we can all do about it.
