I think I need a new job title

 

My current responsibility at the CPA firm is to talk with potential clients and work up fees and proposals for new jobs.  We don’t spend any time describing specific titles or job descriptions, but if we did, mine would probably be “Pricer”, or “Practice Promoter”. 

 We’ve done okay with client retention and getting new jobs; enough so that as it stands right now, our calendar is completely filled for December year-end jobs.  The best I can do for the remainder of the year, for December year-end jobs, is turn business away, tactfully.  Getting paid for not getting work.  That feels different.  Who gets paid for not doing something?  I know.  New job title.  “Mob Boss”!
