    Hey Bill, watching the video again just to keep it fresh in my mind. After we ask the questions and we get down to that value that they’re missing out on by not hiring us, do we share with them that we charge 20% of that value or do we just keep that on the down low and go through the Calculator questions with them and then just compare and contrast the workload with the value price that we established?

    We don't share our methodology for developing our fees with the client. You can simply say that it's based on the quantity and complexity of the work to be done to help them reach the goals we've discussed.

    I’m new to watching your videos. I’ve heard the terms setup and cleanup? Will you please give an example of these? And, with a new client are these in addition to the monthly fee going forward? Thanks so much.

    Hi Cathy! Setups are simply when a client begins using a new accounting platform. Either they weren't using anything previously, or they were using a different platform. Cleanups are when the client had bookkeeping done, but it wasn't being done properly and needs to be "cleaned up." Both of those are typically separate engagements from the ongoing monthly work.

    How would you calculate value based pricing for a cleanup?

    You'd start by learning what it's costing the client NOT to have clean books. How much more money would they be making if they knew their real numbers and were able to make better decisions? How much extra might they be paying in taxes? How much extra is their CPA charging them to prep the books for taxes?

    The only caveat with this system is that you need to be able to deliver on the increase in income for the client. If you sell yourself as able to help them increase revenue by x amount and it doesn’t happen they’ll probably not keep you on. I’ve worked in a family owned medium sized small business and in my experience logistical challenges are only part of what’s holding a business back. Cultural issues are often a major contributing factor and are much more difficult to correct as an outside advisor.

    You're only on the hook to the extent that your advice is being implemented. If a recommendation is made, but not implemented for whatever reason, that's on the client. Beyond that, it goes without saying that we need to be able to deliver on our promises.

    What are your thoughts on positioning yourself as a partner with those smaller clients and having a monthly fee as a percentage of their revenue? I figure your fee can grow as their revenue grows.

    As long as your lead generation is dialed-in, you'll never need to work with small clients and hope they grow. There are so many businesses doing substantial revenue that are willing to pay premium fees for the value you can create. I prefer to focus on those!

    That's not a lot of info to go by but you could probably knock that out in a day or so and charge somewhere in the $3k to $4k range.
