From: Andrew Hunzicker
There’s one question I get asked all the time from CPAs, accountants, and bookkeepers who want to work with cannabis companies:
“How do I find my first cannabis client?”
You can find a lot of different information out there about getting clients:
- Using sites like Indeed or UpWork
- Getting active and posting lots of selfies on Instagram
- Building a website
- Hiring a marketing agency
The problem with all of these strategies is that:
a) It’s difficult to stand out in an insanely crowded marketplace online
b) They do not play to your natural strengths as an accountant or CPA
I’m not saying these things can’t work.
If you do them long enough or spend enough money you could get a client.
But they are not the easiest or the fastest ways to get a high-paying client.
Especially one that will pay you a minimum of $3,000 or more per month.
I know after working with over 1,400 CPAs, accountants, enrolled agents, and bookkeepers to launch and grow their own fully remote accounting firms that the one thing that holds most of them back is getting that first client.
And if we can get you over that hump in the road right now, then you’ll be able to go all in on yourself and your business.
That’s why I’ve created a brand new course that is going to show you:
How To Land Your First High-Paying Cannabis Client
My goal with this course is very straightforward.
Give you a step-by-step action plan that walks you through how to meet with cannabis CEOs so that you can land a $3,000-$5,000 per month client.
The strategy that I’ll show you in this course is so powerful I know that if you follow it I can guarantee you’ll be “shaking hands” (virtually or in person) with cannabis CEOs who need the kind of services you provide.
Like these students of mine right here…
Summer - who launched her new firm in October and by January had signed her 4th client and was on her way to doing six figures in her first year as a cannabis accountant
And Sean - who was able to build a multi-six figure firm working fully remote and start stealing cannabis clients from some of the “big name” national firms out there
And Carlos - who landed his cannabis client from home less than 2 months from getting started using the strategies I teach in the course
Like Cam - who was able to get 4 new cannabis clients before he could quit his day job using the exact step-by-step plan I’ll give you in this course
I have never seen another person show you how to connect with these types of clients the way that I show you in this course.
It really is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
And yes - you can do these strategies from anywhere in the US. You don’t need to live in a state where cannabis is legal.
Some of my most successful students live in Texas, which is probably the last place we’ll see recreational cannabis.
The only thing you need is to be an experienced CPA, accountant, bookkeeper, CFO, or enrolled agent. This is not for beginners wanting to get started.
If you haven’t been able to land high-paying clients it’s because you don’t have a system to consistently connect with the CEOs that need your services in the right way.
Once you start using the V.I.P. system I teach you in this course, it will make landing these clients straightforward, simple, and, dare I say it, even FUN.
All you need is a computer and the willingness to put in a few hours of work each week while we get you working this new system.
What you'll learn and achieve after taking the course:
- Breakdown the V.I.P. system you will use the start meeting with the cannabis CEOs that need your services
- Get you set up with a professional online appearance so potential clients see you as a valuable resource they need… with no fancy tech required here. I’ll show you the simplest way to get this done.
- Quickly get you up-to-date with the most recent cannabis news so you sound like an industry insider when you talk
- Show you my “fast-and-easy” method to find CEOs already in your network that you might not know about
- Create your “one-hour-per-day gameplan” to make sure you know exactly what to do every day when you get to work
One of the most important parts about this course that makes it different from what you find in other places online is everything is designed to be actionable.
This isn’t just more information.
This is a step-by-step action plan to get you high-paying clients.
Over the years, I’ve shown this system to professionals from all backgrounds.
Some were just getting started and had zero clients. And some that had years of experience.
The feedback has always been the same…
They never knew attracting great clients could be so simple.
If you follow the system I laid out in the course, I know you’ll be meeting with CEOs who want what you have to offer and are willing to pay high fees for your valuable services.
Now let’s get to the all-important question…
What’s this going to cost?
Before today I’ve only ever shared this with my students inside the Dope CFO program.
Those students of mine have paid between $5,000 and $7,000 for this system.
(and, I’ll add, it’s been worth every penny)
But this year I’m doing something different.
I’m not going to charge anything close to that for this course.
I know that getting your first cannabis client can be such a game-changer that I want to make this available to everyone.
So instead of charging $4,000, $1,000, or even $500…
You can get started using this system to find high-paying clients for just $399.
That’s it.
You can click this button right here to enroll and get instant access to the course:
If all you ever do is land 1 client using what you learn in this course it will pay for itself 90x over.
But you’ll walk away with a system you can use to attract high-paying clients forever.
VERY IMPORTANT - this is a *limited time offer*
This is only available until Friday, May 24th.
After that, we will be closing the doors and focusing on making sure anyone who joins gets the best results.
I don’t know exactly when we’ll open it back up again.
So if you want to join us for the lowest price I’ll ever offer for this course, join before the doors close:
If you have any questions feel free to respond to my email and someone on my team will be happy to help.
Just make sure you join before the deadline.
To your success,
Andrew Hunzicker, CPA
Founder @ Dope CFO
P.S. - I know once we get you meeting with CEOs you’ll be on your way to landing your first client.
But there’s still the question of “What do you do when you meet a CEO?” and “What do you actually sell them?”
So inside the course, I’m going to include two very important bonuses:
- How To Talk To CEOs To Look Like A World-Class Professional
- How To Price Your Services With Value-Based Pricing And Never Lowballing Yourself With Hourly Work Again
All of that is available for immediate access once you get into the course.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
>>> How long does it take to get my first client?
Everyone is different. Some people have all day to work on this and some of our students are still working full-time jobs.
That said, most of our students who are action-takers get their first client within 90 days of joining the program and implementing what I teach in the course.
>>> Do I need to have experience in accounting, taxes, or bookkeeping?
Yes, it is an absolute requirement that you have some career experience with accounting, tax, finances, or bookkeeping.
That could be that you are a degreed accountant, a CPA, an enrolled agent, have an MBA, are a trained bookkeeper, a tax professional, or a financial professional.
If you do not have any experience with any of these things, you should get started with another program that can teach you the basics of accounting and bookkeeping first.
Then come back to me when you’re ready to specialize and grow your own niche accounting & tax firm specializing in cannabis & CBD.
>>> Do I need to live in a state where this is legal?
No, you do not need to live in a state where cannabis is legal.
I’ve had dozens of students grow wildly successful firms from states like Texas before anything was legal.
You can also work fully remote with companies in the cannabis industry from around the country.
Ray, one of our members and now advisors, likes to work 6 months out of the year from Puerto Escondido in Mexico while his clients are all cannabis companies in the US.
Also, CBD is now legal in every state in the US. So there is more opportunity out there than most people think.
>>> Can I do this part-time or on the side of my current job?
Absolutely! If you have 1-2 hours a day to go through this self-paced course, you can finish going through the training materials and my recommended action plan in 30 days.
We have a ton of students who start learning, get their first 1 or 2 clients while working their current job, and then transition into working for themselves full-time.
We also have a lot of students who are living semi-retired lifestyles and are working part-time with 1 - 2 clients while they enjoy life.
You can decide whatever you want to do with the skills you’ll gain from Dope CFO.
>>> Why is this so cheap? Is there anything else I have to buy to be successful?
Everything you need to actually land your first client is inside. And this training is way better than most products out there that promise the same result. My team and I put a lot of energy and resources into creating this course.
The reason I'm pricing it so affordably is because I know this is the first major step to getting your firm off the ground.
Of course once you start landing clients there are other questions that come up about serving clients and growing you firm.
My goal is that the people who buy this course will get some momentum, see the massive value my team and I provide and want to work with us inside our DOPE CFO community.
That’s what I’m after. It’s all part of my master plan to “show you how I can help you by actually helping you first.”
>>> What is the V.I.P. System?
This is a client-getting system that I developed over many years of working with high-value clients in the cannabis industry. I've never seen any other marketing and sales system work this well at connecting with CEOs and business owners - and it makes the whole process fun!
This is the system that has helped my students sign clients for $3,000/month or more.
The system has 3 steps:
Become A Valuable Expert - Inside the course, I show you the easiest and quickest way to get up to speed with all things cannabis - so you can be informed and sound like an insider when you speak with other cannabis professionals.
Become An Instructor - I'll teach you how to establish authority and provide valuable insights to potential clients you connect with at events and networking (both online and offline).
Participate - Join key local and national organizations, so you get to know high-value clients naturally… while having fun at meetups, happy hours, outdoor trips, and events!
By following these three steps, you position yourself as an expert in the field, build a name in the industry and organically connect with CEOs in need of your services.
