I had the pleasure of joining Greg Alexander on the Collective 54 Pro Serve Podcast 🎙️ to talk about one of the biggest lessons we've learned at Zeroed-In Consulting: defining our ideal client profile. 🧩 Marketing and sales didn't come naturally to me as an accountant, but I had to learn the rules of the game to be able to excel (pun 100% intended). When we started three and a half years ago, we said yes to everything. 🚀 Over time, we realized not all clients were the right fit—and some were a much better match. It's been a journey of refining who we can help most and learning to say "no." On this episode, I share some candid thoughts on what that journey has looked like, the ups and downs, and the insights that have helped us grow. 📊 If you've ever wondered how to focus on the clients that make the most sense for your business, I'd love for you to check out the episode and hear our story: 🎧 👉 https://lnkd.in/d_8v3m69 What have you learned about finding the right clients for your business?
