Let the Games Begin: Competition Among Team Members Is Healthy

If there’s one thing that humanity has taught us, from gladiatorial contests to Beast Games, it’s that homo sapiens love to compete against each other. 

 

Competition can be a healthy way for people to work out their drive to succeed – and, modern competition is much safer than, say: smashing someone in the face with a mace. 

 

As a law firm owner, you can access the best of what gladiatorial combat had to offer, without all that messy bloodshed. 

 


When you set KPIs for your law firm, you can filter those in a number of ways.  You can establish firmwide KPIs, or you can focus those KPIs on groups or individuals within the firm. 

 

That’s how you unlock competition, when you get groups or individuals competing against each other, to hit the best numbers. 

 

No swords, no sandals. 

 

Gamification works inside of law firms, too. 

 

Plus, the best part is that, since everyone is still on the same team, whatever secret one side has developed, to crush their KPIs, can then be shared with the rest of the group – as the firm moves into the next phase of goals. 

 

. . .

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

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...

Take Note: AI Notebooks Are a Different GPT Experience

Image
At this point, you’ve likely tried a generative AI tool, like ChatGPT, which systems engage large language models, to answer your questions (prompts) .  One of the best things about GPTs – and, a sizable advantage over traditional search tools – is that you can iterate with those: communicating back and forth with them, as if they were other humans.   Now, if you want to try a different spin on that model , check out either Google Notebook LM of Microsoft CoPilot Notebooks .  With these tools, you can engage artificial intelligence on a ‘small language model ’.   Effectively, that means that you can load your own sources , and that the AI will only interact with those .  You can create and share notebooks, the same way you can save your chats with traditional GPTs .  Notebooks will also generate learning modules from your sources, including audio conversation s (like an AI-generated podcast), flashcards and mind maps .   Plus, these tools ret...

Sign of the Times: eSignatures Offer Law Firms Flexibility

Image
Law firms that require paper-based signatures are committed to in-person meetings ;  b ut,  th ose  may not always be feasible .  In some cases, the decision is out of the lawyers’ hands,  for example:  during a personal, national or global disaster.  Of course, there are ot her reasons why your law firm may want to utilize  esignatures .  Not requiring a physical signature likely means that you  can add new clients faster ,  because you won’t have to set up an on-person meeting  to do it .  With  e signatures , signing can take place  closer to the time of conversion, which also means  that  you can get started working faster.  It also may be more  convenient for a potential client or existing client to sign online, perhaps because they don’t want to come to your  office, and  pay for parking.  There are a million reaso ns for law firm clients to prefer  esignatures . ...
