    The Best Product and Service Review Platform for Law Firm Owners: Introducing Becca's List

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you an attorney looking for a place to get reliable vendor reviews? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson and Becca introduce “Becca’s List,” a new, free review platform designed for law firm owners to share authentic feedback on vendors and service providers.  Tyson and Becca share about how Becca’s List came to be. After hearing from a Guild member about spending money on a vendor and not getting the services they paid for, Becca and Tyson created a product list where legal vendors can be reviewed. This can then be used by members who are looking for vendors and can do some research before they commit to spending money with them. This is a great tool for new law firms who don't have a big budget and need to be mindful of the vendors they partner with. Tyson and Becca go through the development journey of Becca’s List. The website uses smiley faces to rate vendors, which does not leave users confused on how to use the platform. The development process has been tricky due to working with developers who usually have more say in how something can be created. The process also involved coming to a happy medium on certain aspects of the platform and this is important when collaborating on a product. 1:43 Explanation of the idea of Becca’s List2:44 How the new platform changes vendor behavior 9:13 Overview of the development journey11:13 Issues with the platform, including frustrations with developers14:16 The difference from building a standard law firm websiteTune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.

    Negotiation Ninja: Unleashing Your Inner Dealmaker

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a business owner looking for tips for success? In this episode of The Guild Live Show, Tyson delivers a concise yet insightful discussion on negotiation tactics, ChatGPT usage trends, and the realities behind AI research tools. Tyson critically examines bold claims about Thomson Reuters’ AI system, shares practical lessons for startups, and reflects on the importance of empathy in online interactions following a recent tragedy.  Tyson shares some effective negotiation strategies for lawyers. Being a successful negotiator involves spending a lot of time on anticipated areas of agreement. This means focusing on where you align with a client. It also involves planning more efficiently as opposed to the amount of time. Planning efficiently makes all the difference when you are in the negotiation phase of a deal. If you sit down and think through how you want the negotiation to go and have everything outlined for the discussion, it can really play out in your favour. Tyson provides some common mistakes made by startups that can actually lead to their downfall. One of the common mistakes is only hiring people based on experience. Because startups are so new, it needs the right people with the mindset to scale the business to where it needs to be. Experience won’t matter if they do not fit with the vision of the business. Another mistake is wearing too many hats as the owner. Though a startup can be small, wearing too many hats can lead to burnout and not putting the right energy into the right areas because you are spread too thin. Ensure to hire who is needed so you can focus on running the business.  Listen in to learn more! 1:07 Discussion of effective negotiation strategies5:41 OpenAI data on ChatGPT’s most common uses.8:08 Thomson Reuters’ AI that reduces research time12:24 Common mistakes that kill startups Tune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.

    Why Do Lawyers Look Like They’re Reading a Script? Let’s Fix That!

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you an attorney looking for tips on how to build a social media presence? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer, Tyson interviews a former news anchor and media trainer, Kerry Barrett about how lawyers can improve their on-camera presence. Kerry shares practical tips for appearing more natural, including mindset shifts, breathing exercises, wardrobe advice, and script-marking techniques for teleprompters.  Kerry provides some tips on how lawyers can be more conversational on camera. Lawyers live in the language of their expertise and they tend to work in high stake settings where speech is very formal. But being on camera involves having a conversation with the viewer and making sure they understand you. A great tip is to imagine you are having a conversation with one person. Whether it's a friend or family member, this can help change the way you speak and can make your speech more easy going. Kerry shares the types of content lawyers should create to help with branding. Content for lawyers should be demand generation, trust building content and anonymized case studies. Content like this is focused on being on top of trends, building trust with your audience and analyzing case studies that might help someone who is going through something similar. Doing this content on rotation (ie. once every week) is a great way to build a following and get clients!

    Proactive Tax Planning: Essential Strategies for Law Firms to Thrive Year Round

    Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a law firm owner looking for advice on filing taxes? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Jacqueline and Adam Williams, co-founders of Pennywise Tax Strategies, share their journey from traditional tax roles to building a firm focused on proactive, year-round tax planning for small businesses and law firms.  Proactive tax planning for small businesses is so important and needs to be prioritized. Many small business owners react to their numbers and don't think ahead when it comes to taxes. Because of this, businesses are in a bad situation due to not knowing how to make the most of their money, where the money is going or how to proactively plan ahead. Jacqueline and Adam work to ensure small businesses are not left behind and succeed during this stressful time. Jacqueline and Adam speak to the errors small businesses make during tax season. One of the biggest issues is a lack of communication between the tax preparer and the business owner. Most times, business owners hand accountants everything and call it a day. Sometimes, the business owner doesn't want to fill out the questionnaire, which means the dots are not connected. Big things can be missed, which can lead to issues after filing. Transparency between both parties is extremely important.
