For this month’s success story we are featuring Jim Keen out of Phoenix, AZ. The story of how Jim was introduced to NCI is an interesting one. He got to see just how well the NCI marketing program can work when a firm he was working for brought us in to diversify their client base in the wake of 9/11. He worked his way up to partner and eventually bought out the write-up and tax portion of the practice that had been developed with the NCI model. Fast forward eleven years and Jim is still running that firm and looking for ways to grow it and make up business lost to the recession in 2008. He decided to go back to the well and contact NCI to see about installing a new Plan 2 program for him at the end of 2013. His program has been going strong these past two years and his practice is closing in on $700,000 in annual revenues for 2015. Enjoy the interview and learn from the experience of an accounting professional who has 13 years’ experience with the NCI marketing program. 

Let that title sink in for a second? How would you like to be operating a business that generates $1.3 million dollars in revenue each year? How would your life change if you were to achieve such a milestone? Ted and his wife Linda were able to do so using the NCI marketing program in a relatively short period of time. Recently, this lovely couple was in Southern New Jersey to attend a college football game. While in town they visited with Bruce and Kathy Clark of New Clients, Inc. to catch up and say a personal thank you for delivering the marketing system that made their success possible. During that visit we staged a brief, impromptu interview with Ted where he discusses his and his wife’s experience with NCI and the accomplishments they have been able to achieve as a result.

Have you set your goals for your firm? CPA Dean Owen did and he went from $55,000 in annualized billings to $1,000,000 in a mere five years using our Client Acquisition Program. That’s the power of goal setting coupled with NCI, surely a force to be reckoned with! Listen to his wisdom in the video below and see if it rings true for you.

He has been able to grow from start-up to having a $600,000 practice over the past three years.

He started with the Plan I seminar program and quickly upgraded to Plan II in order to make his dreams a reality. Read on to learn more about Javier’s amazing success.
