Monthly client meetings––they’re a requirement of service retainers.
Or, are they?
There's an expectation that if you're working with clients on retainer, in an ongoing, recurring way, that you have to have meetings––ya know, just to touch base.
Conventional wisdom says that meetings should be included in the service because they seem to deliver inherent value.
But meetings are a huge limitation when it comes to scaling a service business.
There's only so much of you to go around. Is spending time in meetings really the best way to delivering great value and grow a business?
Today, I got Parker Stevenson to weigh in. Parker is co-owner of Evolved Finance, a bookkeeping company that specializes in online businesses.
By its very nature, the business of bookkeeping is doing pretty much the same thing month after month–making it a business that is ripe for scaling, if you approach scaling the way Evolved Finance has.
One of the ways that Parker and his partner, Corey Whitaker, take advantage of this opportunity to scale is by bucking convention and delivering their monthly bookkeeping service without having regularly scheduled calls.
