The most exciting thing I have seen in

over 45 years of accountancy

Page 24: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

No ‘Selling’ - Just Give it Away

Giving away your ‘Free App’ implies:

You are different Than their existing accountant

You are technologically advanced Their current firm are old fashioned

You care enough to launch a free App Their current accountants don’t

You are proactive, prepared to reach out Not heard from their firm

You are smart, forward thinking & creative Than the stereotypical accountant

1 Rule to MAKE your website really work

We’ve just met

Will you marry me?

Page 31: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

Most Visitors are not ready to enquire

80% or more of your website visitors wont be ready to make an enquiry

So if you’re not catering for themYour loosing the bulk of your website visitors

Page 32: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

It’s a MAJOR oversight

96% of attendees to this webinar have no compelling soft offer on their website!

Page 33: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

Let me clarify

A soft offer or Call To Action (CTA)Something compelling, engaging and freeAvailable instantly or in a few secondsThat’s valuable to the visitor In exchange for basic visitors data Starting the relationship

Page 34: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

These are not strong CTA’s!

Page 35: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

The initial CTA was nicely worded –

However it leads to a form with 16 fields. Realistically very few visitors will fill this in.

As a general rule of thumb you loose 5-10% of visitors per question you ask depending on the strength of the offer

Page 36: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

This is closer

Page 37: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

Nicely worded with clear benefit, bright colours and urgency - sadly it did nothing when you clicked the box

This could be improved by offering a free guide or eBook on the topic, building your inbound model.

The Mechanics of Lead Generation

Page 42: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

Sending Successful Emails

Page 43: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

Plain Text

Reasons For

Easy to create – type and send Consistent display across devices Can ‘feel’ more personal than HTML emails May be less ‘salesy’

Reasons Against

No colours or graphics No links or ‘click here’ Hard to design and format Tracking becomes more complex

Page 44: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

HTML

With HTML Emails you can do more • Track which emails are opened and by whom• Use images, colours, design and branding• Responsive design • Interactive response

Page 45: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

50% open rate on mobiles

Page 46: 6 ways to grow your firm for slideshare

Subject Lines• Always write 4 subject lines • Keep it short, ideally below 50 characters • Avoid spam words like – Free, Offer, Save, Help, Percent Off,

Reminder • Inform your reader what they can expect from your email. • Add their name into the subject line • Personalise by industry or geographic area, for example

Accountants in Derby or Tax Review for Derby Vets • Create urgency using words like Alert, Breaking, Update etc.
