TaxCoach Question Reply

Hi Bbowers,

Thanks for your reply. I was beginning to feel like I was the only one to take the plunge with TaxCoach. I am very close to the end of my 30 day trial and I have been wavering back and forth as to whether I should continue on with the subscription.

I have had concerns with the program being too generic. Also I really question whether I could be accused of the unlicensed practice of law regarding some of the fill in the blank forms that accompany the program. Without being too specific, were you able to bill your four clients at the suggested $600.00 level? If not what fee range did you find acceptable by the client. Good luck and thanks again for your response!

Hi Bbowers, How many phone calls did it take you to get 6 to 8 business clients with Frank's program. I would appreciate the help thanks.

Hi Bbowers, this is Muhammad here. We have talked before regarding Franks program. I was just wondering if you could give me a little more info. Can you tell me that roughly how many clients (tax clients) were you able to get using Franks program during the tax season. thanks Muhammad

Hi,

I just wrote a message and it disappeared after I tried to submit. So here it goes again. I feel like I am in your same type of market. I want to concentrate on Lynchburg, Va which is 40 mile from where I live. It has about 3,800 businesses after excluding the industries I am not interested in. I need to have 40,000 in cash flow to quit my current position and focus on building my practice. Was this a doable cash flow for you in the first year? If not how long has it taken for you to get there? The good news for me is that I have about triple the population that you did so I am hoping for a strong showing on the individual program however, I was still a little shocked by the 15 clients you picked up. I was under the impression that the program would do much better than this. In the seminar Frank played the recording of the accountant who was turning away clients and charging what she wanted. Did you get high paying high quality individuals out of the program? Are you going to run both programs again or has your practice started to grow from the initial burst? All of these question are really moot as I have already sent the check to Frank and I am now just waiting on the materials. However, I feel we are in similar markets and I am interested in your views. Oh yeah...Did you take his recommendations on using Kleinrock's and ATX? I have heard horror stories about both and have been considering BNA and Drake as replacements. The other message I wrote was more in depth I don't know where in cyber space it went but maybe you will get it as well..... if you do just ignore one of them. Thanks for your help. 99Hokie 21:04, 11 October 2007 (CDT)

Hi My name is M Shiraz Khan, CPA. I have recently implemented Franks Individual flyer program. the response has been slow. I have only received about 4 calls since then. I distributed about 50000 flyers. Just wanted to know how was your response when you first started out.

Bill, Just wondering if you would share in numbers what your new client growth has been on Frank's program. For example, how many new clients in what period of time. I've spoken with Frank on the phone and am inclined to go with his program, but am curious as to your experiences thanks much Anchorman Anchorman 10:50, 24 July 2008 (CDT)
