Avatar, Too: Finding Like-Minded People Just Got a Whole Lot Easier, with AI

Have you ever thought: ‘Dang, Annie is a great referral source!  I’d love to find 10 more people like her?’ 

 

Or, maybe: ‘Billy is an amazing associate attorney!  I wish I could clone him!’ 

 

Or, even: ‘I wish I had a software that does exactly this thing, that I don’t think any of my other products do.  Does it even exist?’ 

 

Stray thoughts without a conclusion don’t have to remain, in a world in which artificial intelligence exists. 



Using a notebook software or a chatbot, you can plug in Annie’s web-available information, and prompt: ‘Find me 10 more people like her, who can send me referrals like she does!’  And, the AI will. 

 

Or, you can prompt: ‘Look at my associate’s web presence, and find me another one, just like him!’  AI can give you 20. 

 

Or, you can query: ‘I want a software tool that does exactly [THIS THING].  Here are the products I use.  Tell me whether something I have does it, and I don’t know about. In the alternative, tell me what product does do this, and how it would interact with my current technology platform’. 

 

Artificial intelligence tools are great for collating information – including information about the people and things you want to get to know better. 

 

Yes, I’d say it’s long past time to release the kraken.

Less Is More: Why Targeted Marketing Is So Important for Law Firms

Image
Let me be clear: your job as a lawyer is NOT to be the next  Andrew Carnegie .   That’s in part because law firms are inherently geographically - limited business es  -- in the main.   What’s to stop Wal-mart from opening another location across the state line?  Essentially nothing.  What’s to stop a law firm from doing the same thing?  Well, another bar exam passage (or waive-in process), for one.  For another, there may be restrictive rules relating to physical office space requirements for law firms, as well as a host of other protectionist measures to keep out-of-state lawyers, well . . . out of state.  Then there’s the practical difficulty of managing various ethics rules regimes, for each state you locate an office (virtual or otherwise) in.   Because most law firms are still referral-based busines ses,  they rely heavily on local connections.  Usually the big kahuna at a law firm is going to be out and a...

Real Conversation: Moving Beyond AI Chatbots

Image
You know, everybody’s into generative artificial intelligence chatbots these days – my mom used one to explain an estate planning concept she was trying to articulate to me the other day, haha .     But, if that’s the only place you’ve gone with AI, thus far – it’s time to expand your horizons.   The first place to look for new AI is in the products you already use.     Your productivity software ( Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace ) has both a generative AI product ( Microsoft CoPilot or Google Gemini ) and an AI overlay tool – Microsoft 365 CoPilot and Google Duet .     But, so does your case management software .  If it’s Clio Manage , you’ve got Du o .  FileVine has lots of AI features available, too - as do most other programs, a t some level.     You guessed it, so does your accounting software ( Quickbooks , Xero ), as well as your customer relationship management (CRM) software ( Lawmatics , Salesforce , HubSp...

Pay Master: One Simple Way to Collect Revenue in Your Law Firm

Image
The main reason law firms struggle to collect revenue is because they’re always taking payment in arrears & then chasing clients for the money .  That is a strategy that is absolutely proven not to work, because law firms collect only around 70% of their bills.  So, you’re only actually making 70 cents of every dollar you invoice – and, that’s before we even address taxes, or business expenses.   But, if you can make one simple change in your law practice, collection becomes so much easier & your collection rate will skyrocket!  The change is pretty simple, too.     All you have to do is collect electronic payments & initiate the payments on behalf of your clients, instead of waiting for them to do it .  The most common method by which this is done is by acquiring your clients’ credit card information, adding it to your payment processing tool, and clicking a button, when a charge needs to be made .  That’s it .  N...
