I Would Have Never Paid $5,000 Upfront For A Client

Charlie Jones once subscribed to a philosophy that espouses the only client referrals that are worthwhile are those that come free of charge through networking with local Chamber of Commerce organizations or from professional affiliations with banking colleagues and attorney friends.   Charlie Jones has since changed his way of thinking and is now convinced that the exact opposite is true especially after spending the last two months engaging several new corporate clients who have contracted to pay him almost $30,000 dollars annually in billings.   All of the clients, says Jones were referred to him by GoodAccountants.com, a national advertising and client referral service based in Lynbrook, New York. All of the referrals occurred within sixty days of Jones joining a national, members-only network of accountants that are referred by GoodAccountants.com to business owners that have turned to the internet to find accountants to service their business accounting needs.

“Two months ago you couldn’t get me to even think about doing something like this,” explains Charlie Jones as he reflects on the $5,000 dollars upfront membership fee that is required by GoodAccountants.com to join their national marketing and advertising network.  “The ironic thing about it was they were only offering me a six-month membership for my $5,000 dollars so I asked Patty what happened to the other six-months, don’t I get to be a member for a full-year for that kind of money,” says Jones as he recounts a telephone conversation with Patricia Schoenfeld, a Senior Business Consultant with GoodAccountants.com.    Schoenfeld assured Jones that six-months was more than enough time for him to ascertain whether or not her company’s marketing and advertising savvy would make him want to upgrade his membership before the end of the initial six-month period.    “The fact is I did upgrade to their $25,000 membership program which guarantees me $75,000 in yearly billings or a 3 to 1 return on my investment,” says Jones.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia Jones says he has received sixteen client referrals from GoodAccountants.com in the span of sixty-days and is prepared to handle as many companies GoodAccountants can send to him.   Jones is the co-founder of a 25 year old, twelve-person, full service accounting firm.   The death of his partner Harry Marshall last year caused Jones to rededicate himself to increasing his client base along with adding an additional $150,000 to his firm’s annual billings.  “GoodAccountants.com is a surefire way for me to realize my goal of adding an additional $150,000 in billing this year, I’m convinced of it based on the money I’ve made with them so far,” says Jones.
