For recent new followers, a little more background on this CPA. Been playing around the edges of Twitter for a number of years, live-tweeting Nashville healthcare events and going through a mid-career focus shift. A 🧵:
@PadraicMcC Thanks for sharing -have to listen. The feels too late point is great. Often think we’ll be better by not being what we liked/didn’t like about our childhood but that doesn’t always translate down.
@BowTiedBauhaus@sourcesandmuses Tying to GP and not revenue is key. But do a well defined table on what is in/not in. You can’t always control your costs but you can control sales and that will drive incentive for them to make it a win win for everyone.
@LoganGrafTax Didn’t you build the first two weeks of October into your schedule to take on these clients, but rates triple? Or maybe your fee take the month # as the multiple we apply to your base rate.
@paulswaney3 I take offense. I get awful callouses from 10 key grinding all day. However there was a satisfaction from a hard days work at the farm as a teenager. Many days I’d rather have a few days of that and not as much brain fried on trying to figure out garbage data for my PE friends.
Counted no less than 6 G Wagons going to the grocery this morning. If you are rolling in one to grocery you’ve probably been listening to Tax TikTok. Otherwise I figured you were rolling to outsource that to someone. Or I’m just feeling flexed on.
@ShowMeYourCIM If you’re being honest and transparent you can put your best foot forward. Then Buyer can indicate where you may be different and seller has to pick their horse weighing what’s most important to them. Not every dollar is equal across offers.
@ShowMeYourCIM Three of my deals closed yesterday too-2 of 3 were initial busted processes with other sponsors. When there is already seller fatigue to begin with things can get testy, but we had good clients & good sellers that wanted to see it done. Still room for 8pm lender edits though.
@jamesonhaslam You have reflected my work life so succinctly. Doing it all wrong I guess. At least I think my clients appreciate me expending all my brain power for them
