Wooden Dildos Make CPA’s More Productive – if I got your attention with the title it says a lot. A lot about your personal level of depravity for reading it, and my audacity to post it.
As such, many of the Sales Genius types that don’t understand accounting or taxes to save their lives have suddenly become experts on selling and marketing CPA services. They have decided to undertake nothing short of a crusade to teach us “stupid accountants” how to sell.The latest brilliant idea has to conduct an effective sales interview by asking the question “How would you sell me this pen?”……tell you what, if a Sales Consultant tries that on me, I am going demonstrate how to use the consultant as a human pencil sharpener before we show him to the window.
It’s no different than tell an interviewee that I saw a study where CPA’s that use wooden dildos were 25% more effective than CPA’s that used USB dildos. If they are stupid enough to get this far, I usually look at them with straight face and ask them what they think of the approach. If the answer the question by stating ANYTHING other than this entire conversation is nothing but complete bullshit…..drivel, gibberish or nonsense..the interview ends right there.
I have no use for buzzword spewing, mindless experts explaining programs that will allow you to become a “trusted advisor” with three easy payments, and their manual. They would assert that experience, the proper education which is a graduate degree and a CPA certificate.. That type of behavior is really no different that grabbing that wooden dildo and trying to give yourself splinters…it never ends well.
Arthur Andersen used to have a motto “Think Straight, Talk Straight……think about it.
