CPA - medium firm

A business is defined by the value it creates for its customers. Your price speaks volumes about your value proposition, more so than any other component of your firm's marketing. Yet, an overwhelming majority of professional firms price their services by the flawed hourly billing method. This method is outdated, suboptimal, and driving the best and brightest out of the profession. While CPAs serve noble callings, the predominant method of pricing for their services is not worthy of them. There is a better way.
This webinar will demonstrate a superior business model to price for professional services: selling intellectual capital with pricing based on the outcomes and value it creates, not the cost or time it took to deliver. In other words, transforming, like a chrysalis, from a Professional Service Firm to a Professional Knowledge Firm.
Customers don't buy time; they buy value. Firms with a better understanding of value will have an enormous competitive advantage in attracting both customers and team members.

"Ron Baker has positively influenced the profitability of my practice for more than a decade. This program was more of a case for why Value Pricing. I'd like to see him do a program with case study examples for how to implement Value Pricing. I've bought most of his previous books.and used them as resources. I intend to finish reading his latest book, Implementing Value Pricing, because the title promises me the result I want ...to be able to implement value pricing."

"I have spent the last 9 months learning (in a class locally) about how to look at the value my clients receive from my business, in order to focus the marketing of the business on that value. Today I learned how to capitalize on that value. The presentation blew my mind. It was the great big "of course, how did I miss that!" moment for me. Thank you for the presentation and the exposure to your books so I can pursue this further."

"I live in Alaska and this webinar started at 7 am Alaska time. My computer crashed 10 minutes prior to the webinar. Fortunately I had access to another computer and was able to get to the webinar just as it was starting. I am so very glad I made the effort to attend. As a sole proprietor, starting my business in a new location, the information was invaluable."
