Word-of-mouth recommendation is the best form of marketing don’t you think?

Word-of-mouth recommendations certainly prove that the results are for real and not just hyperbole from an overzealous marketing whizz!

To see up-to-the-minute recommendations on Paul’s LinkedIn page click here 

Here’s four word-of mouth stories about real successes. You’ll also find below all the accountancy firms that we currently work with and some we have worked with but don’t currently! 

1. “We recently ran an event for 51 business owners, Paul helped us construct the offer, he also presented on the day and helped construct the follow-up process too.

It worked.

We got 33 asking to meet with us afterwards. 19 turned into worthwhile meetings with business owners (some new prospects, some existing clients). 3 months after the event we have won 4 new valuable clients and cross-sold services to 7 existing clients.

This all adds up to £39,000 in GRF.

Plus we are still in the running for another £30,000 or more in fees from the discussions that have yet to reach their conclusion.”

His plain English approach and understanding that all marketing needs to do is focus on the true benefits to business owners, told via true-life stories (testimonials) and to give real value and credibility is very effective. This approach avoids the need for cold or hard selling because most of the selling has been delivered by demonstrating success already experienced by clients/customers to-date.”

Chairman, Mayes Business Partnership, Accrington

2. “We have been lucky enough to have been working with Paul for a guess, around three years now.  We have met on a quarterly basis for a full blown consultancy session, which usually lasts all morning, starting with a hearty breakfast.”

“Obviously from the start, there were countless quick wins. Plus, slowly but surely, over the weeks, months and years, we have implemented strategic decisions and plans which have transformed our own mindsets. More importantly, it has insured that our firm has the ability to deliver, over and above the competition. T

The sessions with Paul are always refreshing, energising and ultimately add massive value to the development of the firm. 

It is of interest and amusement to us, that prior to each session, we always wonder whether anything constructive will ensue, as we have already achieved so much over the recent years.  Far from being near to the end, each session, without fail, clearly demonstrates that we have a long way to go before the job is anything like done and we all know that the race for perfection has no finish line….’

Managing Partner, Russell Payne & Co, Lincoln

3. “We all feel that your input has been invaluable to date and has allowed us to be far more focused on our objectives and our measurement of them.    There have been many changes at gvt since we first met and you have been instrumental in our success, especially in effective communication.”

Mark Goodband
Managing Partner, Goodband Viner Taylor, Sheffield

4. “With Paul’s guidance we conducted one exercise that has resulted in 26 prospect meeting requests. 21 actual meetings took place and 9 converted into paying customers with an average value of £11,667 that’s a total of £105,000 of new business from one marketing event.

The Remarkable Practice approach to marketing is simple and it’s worked for us.

I’m optimistic about the results we’ll achieve for 2009 and 2010 partly because we’ve increased our non-compliance projected annual revenues from £100K to £200K in the last 12 months. And I’m looking forward to achieving more than £250K in addition to our core accounting services.“

If you’re wondering how to make marketing work in your accountancy practice I suggest you speak with Paul and the team at Remarkable Practice and follow their recommendations. They’re not cheap but the results are self evident to me.”
