An ICB Recognised Course

Client Engagement Skills for Bookkeepers

Selling is often seen as a “dirty word” in bookkeeping, yet truly engaging with our clients is critical for business growth. This course equips bookkeepers with practical techniques that help them engage more fully with prospects and clients whilst avoiding pushy sales stereotypes.

ICB Accredited course

Why is this course suitable for bookkeepers?

ICB Institute of Certified Bookkeepers

The course will introduce you to some key techniques and skills that have been proven over many years across a range of different sectors. However, we understand that it’s not always immediately obvious how “generic” concepts can be adapted to specific industries which is why, for this ICB accredited course, Phil uses examples of specific scenarios commonly faced by bookkeepers and explains precisely how the techniques can be used.

Examples include how to help clients move from viewing bookkeeping as a grudge purchase to seeing it as a hugely valuable service that helps them build a better business and how to address price objections.
