How do you think those top guys came about to where they are now? Do you think they just jump into the the stardom from no where? Yes, they were techinical in the beginning, but as soon as they entered the arena, they differentiated themselves with telent in sales and marketing. I beleive that is the only way to survive in the profession yet NONE of the schools are teaching that.

Actually, the Public CPA companies have the most attritions in any profession. We at the KPMG headquaters project that 1/3 of the first year hires will be leaving the company after the first 12 month, another 1/3 will be leaving in their 2nd year and by the time they are in the 3rd year they will be in the superviory position and they had better be able to start selling the service. The managing partners of each office has to write a yearly report to show which supervior and above has the potential to be promoted to partnership and the line is always drawn on the sales and marketing side. If they are not of partnership quality in the 4th or 5th year, they will be showing the door.
