Thank you for taking a moment to view this blog. After 16 + years in public accounting, I have realized the old image of the CPA (green visor, pocket protector, big adding machine....remember the movie Look Who's Talking?) still exists with some people, including in our profession! Well, we can't be your "father's CPA" anymore. Over time, I hope we can share networking tips and strategies that work not only for CPA's, but for anyone in the service profession, including lawyers, insurance, real estate, doctors, dentists, etc.... Much of the information I will share comes from over 7 years experience in BNI, the world's largest referral organization. But, I would love to get your input as well. What works, what doesn't in terms of your networking plan and passing/receiving referrals. Notice I did say referrals, not leads and there is a difference we will address as we go. By following the basic, yet powerful BNI philosophy of "Giver's Gain" (helping each other by sharing referrals and knowledge), we can grow as professionals and personally by the relationship we develop. I look forward to your feedback.
