You can find your top 100 clients. Now think about this. Let's say I take 100 clients that I know could be advisory in my overall pool. The average advisory client brings in $20,000 a year on 100 clients. Okay. You guys run into your computer. You're doing some math on that. This is a big deal because if I can bring in 100 clients at $20,000, that's a $2 million gross rev. 100 clients. How many of you would just like 100 clients that pay monthly an average of $20,000 a year? And so do all— we have hundreds of client accountants in our network that do that. So So if you say, that's my target, I want $2 million of revenue on 100 clients billing $20 grand a year monthly. You cannot afford not to do this.
