How on earth do you and your team, your colleagues, your firm as a whole, engage in meaningful, tangible conversations with clients, demonstrating that your firm delivers real value?

In this podcast discussion with Paul Kennedy of OBK, a relatively small firm north of London, we discover that for decades Paul has been a keen student of Ron Baker, Rick Payne and Bootcamp, and he has implemented an approach to value pricing in a very practical way.

You’ll hear Paul share his insights and his thoughts about how his firm have implemented value pricing. There's a lot of discussion around value pricing, but Paul reveals the practical ways of delivering value, so that your clients will say: 'oh, that is worth far more than the 10 minutes or 10 hours you've invested in working with me.'

2. In this discussion with Paul Kennedy of OBK Chartered Accountants, you'll hear Paul explain how, despite a relatively small team of just 7 people and a relatively small client base of around 40 clients, he is often achieving starting fees way in excess of the average high fees for many other accountants. 
Paul's success is down to having a genuine interest in the businesses of his clients. At OBK, value pricing is the norm and you'll hear Paul describe the process he goes through when meeting a new prospect to determine if they are a good fit as a client for the firm.  There's no magic wand here - what you'll hear is Paul's authenticity, as well as the hard work he's put into learning, mentoring and developing this winning approach to value.
