He Landed a Client Shooting Machine Guns | Sean Duncan
About this episode
A West Point grad invites you to shoot fully automatic machine guns and drink bourbon. You go. You meet a fractional CFO. Three months later, he's a multi-thousand dollar a month client.
That's not a marketing strategy. That's Sean Duncan's life and it's only the opener.
Sean built the largest accounting firm in Frisco, Texas, then torched two-thirds of his revenue on purpose and rebuilt around a fixed-fee, proactive advisory model before anyone in the industry had a name for it. In this conversation he breaks down exactly how he did it, what almost ended him in 2017, how he niched into medical practices and video game developers, and the one calendar habit he credits for every major decision he's made since.
You'll walk away with his "Work On the Business Day" framework, a new way to think about who you actually want as clients, and proof that shooting guns in Texas is a legitimate business development strategy.
