Three Tips for New Tax Preparers to Start Getting Clients

Now that we have students graduating from our online tax course at ProntoTaxClass.com, we have started to encounter the "Now what?" question from our recently-minted professional tax preparers. As we've said from the beginning of this course, our goal is for our students to actually make money doing taxes, not just take a tax course and be able to say "I'm a professional tax preparer."

Therefore, this "Now what?" question is very important to us, to try to help our Pronto Tax Class Graduates find a profitable place in the tax business. In reality, though, it is YOU who will need to take action to get your first 100, 500, and then 1,000 tax clients. So, what concrete actions can a new tax preparer take to start acquiring clients?

The short answer to this is "NO"! You do NOT need to take any more courses or tests except Pronto Tax Class to be eligible to do taxes for pay in 2012.

Pronto Tax Class and Value for the Price

We had a student call in on our Pronto Tax Class Sales Hotline today (310) 422 - 0795 and she pointed out that our online tax course is way cheaper than the competition and we should raise the price. This may be true that our online tax course is far too inexpensive relative to the quality of the materials and the quality of our competitors' materials, but you know what? We like people to get a bargain, more than what they're paying for.
