    Missed Leads, Bad Hires, and AI Disruption

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you looking for some advice for strengthening your skills as a lawyer? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Guild Live Show, host Tyson Mutrux leads a dynamic discussion on lost leads in customer service, the top interview question job candidates should ask, and the ethics of employee poaching in tech. Using a training video of an initial client call, Tyson talks about lost leads in customer service and how firms can improve communication and establish processes with clients. It is important to know when to simply sign up a client as opposed to trying to get every piece of information. For this caller, they just needed help and the employee was focused on typing everything down, pressing for photos and using escalating behaviour. In contentious situations where callers are distressed, it is best to let them speak and provide a comforting environment where the person feels heard and the employee shows empathy.  Tyson delves into questions that candidates should ask to uncover real company values. One of the questions is focused on having the manager describe the kind of person that should not work for the firm. For a manager, this will catch you off guard. But for a prospective candidate, this will allow you to understand how the company sees themselves and the kind of traits and attributes they hold close and value. It will also give you clarity on if it is the type of firm you are wanting to work for.

    Want Clients from YouTube? Start With These 3 P’s

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you looking for some tips on how to market your firm using Youtube? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson and guest Ryan Webber explore the challenges and strategies of growing a YouTube channel, especially for small business owners.  Growing a Youtube channel as a business owner can be a difficult feat. Ryan discusses the strategies needed to ensure a business owner can succeed with marketing their firm through Youtube. One of these strategies is to niche down your content. Your content needs to be specific and directed to a certain audience. If you are wanting to make videos about how to grow a firm or want to focus on answering different legal questions, create videos around that topic only and build it up, Ryan and Tyson talk about the structure needed for video introductions. Ryan uses the Three P’s, which stand for Pain, Proof and Promise. Pain is identifying the pain point you are going to address, proof is showing how you have accomplished it yourself or that you can provide a solution, and promise is what the audience will get out of the video. This will capture the audience’s attention and keep them intrigued to stay until the end. Listen in to learn more!

    This Is What High Performers Actually Do Differently

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a business owner looking for tips to create a stronger business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, host Tyson Mutrux explores essential strategies for entrepreneurs, focusing on copywriting, productivity, and decision-making. Copywriting can be used as an advertising tool and can reel in business if done right. Using the Copywriting Playbook, Tyson shares some tips on how to use it effectively for a business. First  is to make a specific promise, then add a vehicle or method for that promise, move on to including a timeline and then finish by anchoring it with a number. What this does is show the individual looking at your business what you are going to help them achieve or what they will get out of working with you. It is a quick and catchy tagline that will entice the individual. Tyson also provides some tips on how a business owner can make effective business decisions. One tip is that you only need 51% certainty to make a decision. If you have a bunch of decisions up in the air and you don't know what move to make, if you are more than sure on which direction to go, follow it. Don’t take more than 48 hours to make a decision on anything for your business. Another tip is to hire someone based on 3 questions: What specific result will this person own? How do they move the firm forward? Should this role be done in-house or outsourced? If you can answer these questions, you are ready to hire.

    How to Treat Your Law Firm Like an Asset (Not a Job)

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a law firm owner looking for strategies to build a better business? In this episode of Maximum Lawyer, Tyson interviews Jonathan Hawkins, an attorney specializing in advising law firms on business management and legal strategy. Jonathan shares practical insights on building strong client retainer agreements, protecting against associate turnover, and planning for partnership transitions.  Jonathan shares some strategies law firms need to use to protect themselves when associates leave and take clients with them. One thing to embed in your processes is establishing partnership agreements with lawyers you hire. This is a way to outline stipulations as it relates to a lawyer leaving and taking a client. Though a client has the ultimate choice, it can be included in an agreement that a lawyer should not encourage their client to leave with them. As a firm owner, this protects your downside and provides you with some sort of protection when it comes to losing clients. Tyson and Jonathan chat about value drivers for law firms and how owners can enhance their practice when it comes time to sell. A big value driver for a potential buyer are the employees. If a new owner is looking to take over, having solid employees and a good leadership team will attract someone to jump in. It will make the transition much smoother and leave the buyer feeling confident in their decision. Another value driver are marketing systems. If your firm has great systems to market itself, someone will be more inclined to buy because they see the dedication that exists within the firm and how it presents itself.
