See Saw: Video Workflows Are An Underutilized Option for Law Firms

Process management is essential for law firms that want to maximize revenue, in the modern era.  That starts with designing workflows, that team members can follow. 

 

Of course, that last part is important.  And, folks can become easily overwhelmed by unending task lists.  Plus, you’d ideally want workflows that are digestible by new staff, so that they can really internalize the process, and truly understand it. 



Video workflows service both ends, effectively – especially for visual learners. 

 

Now, while anchor business softwares for law firms (productivity software, law practice management software, customer relationship management software, accounting software) don’t offer pre-loaded video-first workflow tools, there are standalone products, that do (and which might be integrated with those mainline products). 

 

Loom and VideoAsk are both excellent softwares to test out, if you want to start walking down this path. 

 

Just hit record!

Cash Out: Lawyers Don't Always Have to be the Ones Talking About Money

Image
Most lawyers have trouble talking about money with clients, largely because they just want to help people out – and, the money is secondary to them.     That’s noble; of course, that’s kind of tough , when it comes to running a business.     But, do you actually have to force yourself into the money conversation, if you don’t think you’re good at it?     Well, no.     There are certainly some instances, where you (as the attorney) could offload, that responsibility .  If you can close a client, as a lawyer – you can then bring in a paralegal or office manager, to explain the pricing of services to the client & onboard them .  (I mean, that’s exactly what happen when you buy a car; and, you don’t even blink.)  The continuing collection of fees can be made by automated, recurring payments – or, can be collected by staff, at the click of a button .  (When you pay your regular bills, does the CEO of the company contac...

City to City: How Local Is Your Web Presence?

Image
If you practice in or near a major city, you’re likely focused on marketing your law practice in said major city.     There’s just one problem with that idea: so are all your competitors.     But, your vision for a local web presence can be broader, if you zoom out.   The fact is that if you start looking at suburbs, you’re likely to find underserved communities; and, if your law firm can focus on providing services there, you’ll be more noticeable, since you’ll have fewer direct competitors.  You see, the thing is , that : lots of law firms don’t look beyond surface strategies – but, if you do, you can potentially uncover a number of compelling, underutilized tactics.     You can acquire demographics information, to better assign your targets .  You can set up virtual office spaces for map placement .  You can start using local keywords .  You can travel to community events, for linkbacks .  You can build out addit...

Outlaw: The One Key Employee You Need, to Stop Practicing Law

Image
Some lawyers love to practice law; and, they would do it for the rest of their lives, if they could .  But, for other attorneys, the practice of law – really, building a law firm, as a business – is a way out, of the practice of law .  It is/will be the thing that provides them with enough revenue, to do what they really want to do .   For some attorneys, that’s the end game.     To get there, the law firm either needs to generate enough profit for you to get paid, without having to practice law anymore ; or, it has to generate enough revenue, for you to be able to sell it, and retire or start something new.   But, if you’re not managing the firm, who is ?  If you’re looking to devolve your caseload, even if you have multiple partners and/or associate attorneys, someone needs to sit in the role of case manager, which you formerly occupied.     And, that’s why you need a ‘ Chief Legal Officer ’ .   This is a corporate concept that ...
