Hey! I will let Morgan know you would like to know more about how she reviews potential clients records. You may also like this video on "How to Catch-up a New Client" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-07in13hHgcg.html) as she discusses some of this there as well.

Yes, I would like to see a video on how you would review a business' books to see if you want them as a client. Please. That would be a good topic and procedure to discuss.
I have mixed views about charging for a consult. I think a consult could be for free or for a fee depending on the type of business you do, nature of consult questions and time involved. Is it in person? on the phone? online? 5 minutes or less? 10-15 minutes? or longer? Are the questions very basic? Eg: What is your fee? Hours you are able to work? Your Qualification for the job?. Or, this is what I need done, can you do this for me for X amount of money in this time frame?
I can look into this and make another video. But, I know that bookkeepers charge several hundred dollars to review a client's books. I think standardization is a great idea! But, probably not practical. Thanks for watching!
I definitely charge to review the books. Cost of living fluctuations will affect how some people charge for different services. Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "standardized". Can you elaborate?
@@jenninemorel7693 consultation fee is the same just like a plumber coming to your house to check whats wrong and tells you you the cost of what needs ti be done. Just taking a look at it cost like say $100 by just coming in. Maybe that’s what she meant by consultation fee.maybe plumbers are charging standard fees for just coming in.
Hey! Here is the link to Morgan's marketing course, Bookkeeper Marketing Coach - finepoints.newzenler.com/courses/bookkeeper-marketing-coach. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I'm trying to develop a pre-screening/qualifying questionnaire before folks get on my calendar. Do you have something like this in place that you use? Suggestions for pre-qualifying questions? The first question that pops in my head is, "Have you ever worked with a bookkeeper before?"
