Bissett Bullet: Know When To Quit

Today’s Bissett Bullet: “You know that potential new client who never returns calls or emails? Following up with them regularly is disciplined but also desperate.”

By Martin Bissett

I am always astonished when I go into accounting firms who expect me to be impressed by the fact that they follow up with prospects every month that they met with five years ago.
