Program Description
The webinar will share and discuss our experiences, successes, and failures as we built a very successful practice dedicated solely to the area of litigation and valuation services. We will provide numerous examples of marketing ideas that we have used and why they were—or were not—successful. We will discuss how we developed our partnership agreement, some of the unique parts of that agreement, and the quality control system we follow to ensure that our reports are consistent in wording and in quality. We will discuss our approach to developing staff and keeping them interested in this area of practice while they obtain the appropriate experience.
We will share our thoughts as to the positives and negatives of a boutique specialty practice and the characteristics and qualities an individual should possess before entering into such a specialized practice. We are not the "typical" CPA and will relate how our "soft" skills have contributed to our success. We will also discuss how we have used our specialized expertise (in our case, expert testimony skills) to advance our practice through development of a strong referral network.
Learning Objectives
After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Maintain good knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of operating a small, specialized practice - Possess good knowledge of marketing concepts as they apply to a specialized practice area - Share innovative marketing ideas that they can use in their own practice - Translate our experiences into their own specific practice
