So, if you can't respond the same day because you're in a meeting, then at the latest the next morning. If you can't respond the next morning, you have got to get someone to ring the client up and let them know you won't be able to get back to them for a couple of days. If you're connecting with the client, that's the first thing you need to do. And everybody needs to be on the same page with that.”- Ed Chan   USEFUL LINKS:  Download FREE eBook: The Accountant's 20-Hour Workweek Playbook  GET IN TOUCH! Website: www.wizementoring.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wizementoring/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/wizementoring Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wizementoring/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wize.guys/?hl=en Email: [email protected]   Download the full transcript here. ________________  PS: Whenever you’re ready… here are the fastest 4 ways we can help you fix and grow your accounting firm:   1.
