Holiday Thanks

It's that time of year and a really good time to thank all your clients for their business. You don't have to do anything fancy. A simple card with a simple thank you is really the best gift for the season. Try to avoid religious cards mentioning Christmas, Hanukkah, etc. since your clients probably vary in their religious beliefs. One year I was running late so I sent out a Happy New Year card. My clients said it was the only one they received specifically for the new year. The rule is NO ADVERTISING. No pushing your biz or services or products. However, every year I send out a simple card and get many old clients calling for an appointment, so the card does act as a type of reminder. I must admit that I don't send a card to clients I don't want to see again, however I do send them to old clients that I may not have seen in a year or two. Happy Thanksgiving!

QuickBooks Consultant's Conference

I just returned from Las Vegas and the Sleeter Group's QuickBooks Consultant's Conference. If you are already a successful consultant or are just starting out, this is a conference you don't want to miss. This year's offerings covered the new features for QuickBooks 2006, tips and tricks for industry versions, navigating the jungle of broadband and wireless connectivity, exhibits from companies that make QuickBooks compatible software, and a lot more that I didn't see. We also had a lot of face-to-face time with core Intuit personnel. Everyone I spoke to was a QuickBooks addict like myself - it's nice to know we're not alone. Next year don't miss it!
