The Abacus A.C.T. System is a unique 3 pronged approach to adding value to our accountancy clients .
One of the strategies we share is to analyse your customers using the ABCD model.
Itโs customer grading: helping a business see which clients are actually worth keeping, and which are quietly killing profit and energy.

A lot of owners are growing the wrong customers.

With a client, youโre trying to answer three simple questions:
# How much revenue does each customer bring in?
# How much profit do we actually keep from them?
# How much effort / hassle do they create?

A clients โ high profit, low hassle, you enjoy working with them
B clients โ good, solid customers, some upside
C clients โ borderline: lots of work, thin profit, or not aligned
D clients โ low or negative profit, high drama, drain the team
If you DM me I can send you a simple to use tool and full instructions.
