Testimonials from around the world... Here's what a subscriber in Australia has to say about LEDGER...
"Becoming a LEDGER subscriber has been a step in the right direction for my firm.

I find the quality of LEDGER to be quite refreshing in the world of spam email and superfluous newsletters from one organisation or another."

Steve has managed to include very relevant articles, and provided some good advice and tips to go along with them. I found the article on "What makes a client change adviser" in Issue 2 particularly useful.

As a Business Manager I am always on the lookout for advice on the best way to market my firm. Becoming a LEDGER subscriber has been a step in the right direction.

I find the quality of LEDGER to be quite refreshing in the world of spam email and superfluous newsletters from one organisation or another.

Even though LEDGER is produced in Canada, and my firm is located in Australia, I still find the majority of information to be both relevant and interesting, and I very much look forward to future issues.

Thank you Steve for the opportunity to freely subscribe to such a good quality offering.

And a subscriber in the UK wrote us, saying...

I would like to congratulate you on the content of LEDGER, Issue 8.

I found your points extremely useful.

Hi Steve

Having recently subscribed to your email newsletter I would like to congratulate you on the content of LEDGER, Vol I, Issue 8.

Is there any chance of the back issues covering the "Jump The Hurdles" article - I am currently rewriting our in house notes re meetings with clients and I found your points extremely useful.

I look forward to hearing from you.

(Of course, we sent the back issue in question, how could we do anything else with comments like this?)

And another UK subscriber writes...

"Valuable marketing information and inspiration
- I'm finding it extremely useful."

Steve,

Thanks for the newsletters - this is the second one I've received since subscribing and I think they're great! I got wind of your newsletter through another newsletter I subscribe to… Anyway, you are providing valuable marketing information and inspiration.

Breaking down the sales process to understand the customer's view has started to raise questions about my approach to prospective clients - I'm finding it extremely useful.

I'm mailing for a bit of a favour... I've only recently subscribed to this newsletter and the two I've seen are providing valuable information about the 9 hurdles. I would be extremely grateful if you could forward a copy of the newsletter which details the first three hurdles:

  • I don't know you
  • I don't know your firm
  • I don't know what you do

Thank you for your inspiration It's all interesting stuff... thanks!

...let me also say how much I appreciate the very practical and 'do-able' guidance you share with us every month. Its a great service.

A subscriber in Kansas, USA writes...

Your tips and advice on your website take everything I've been trying to tell our shareholders for years and puts it in wonderfully clear and direct orders... I'm preparing materials for a firm retreat Thursday - most of your suggestions will be top of the list.

I've been the marketing director for my husband's firm since 1991. I've looked over lots of websites, marketing materials, books and direct mail pieces, even gone to Association for Accounting Marketers meetings. Your tips and advice on your website take everything I've been trying to tell our shareholders for years and puts it in wonderfully clear and direct orders. Just what accountants need to hear and they'll probably believe it now because it comes from another accountant - not just my humble journalism degree....

I'm preparing materials for a firm retreat Thursday - most of your suggestions will be top of the list. Thank you!

Great ideas for using voice mail, I was one of those who used to just hang up because I didn’t know how to leave a message that would encourage a return call.

Our subscriber base is growing rapidly, with members around the corner and around the world. Don't let your competitors get a marketing edge over you, sign up now.

LEDGER is written exclusively with the sole practitioner, the smaller partnership and medium sized firm in mind, after all, that's my background too. I also understand your time constraints - that's why it's designed to be short and to-the-point.

If you're with a "BIG 5" firm - or any size firm, in fact - and you're thinking of "going it alone", then it's perfect for you too.

It's free, it's quick and easy to join (just click on the LEDGER image above and send us a blank e-mail) and it's easy to un-subscribe at any time. The content for the e-newsletter is not available on this web site either, it's exclusive to our subscribers.
