In today’s episode we’ll talk about marketing, how he uses online intake forms to screen clients, and posting a video a day!Jim’s Hack: Jim recommends listening to the old podcasts, there’s about 190 episodes now which is around 100 hours’ worth of content on running your firm and marketing.Some of those old episodes are his favorites. Episode 40 with Will Norman about going solo is the most listened to episode. Jim’s favorite episode is #29, which was law firm roulette where they picked a city in California, picked a practice area, and then critiqued people's websites. If this is your first episode, go back and listen to some old ones and find topics that interest you.Tyson’s Tip: Tyson received Rocket Book for his birthday. It's a reusable notebook that uploads your notes automatically to whatever cloud you want them to go to.Matthews’s Tip: Play with the tools that you already have, whatever software or hardware you're already using. Don't be afraid to play around with it and to find other ways to use it. For two reason, because as lawyers, we tend to be cautious and, as adults, we tend not to value play enough.Don’t forget to sign up for MaxLawCon20!TODAY 3/2/20 is the last day to save $100 on your ticket!https://www.eventbrite.com/e/maximum-lawyer-conference-2020-tickets-62992819218For more details on MaxLawCon visit: https://maximumlawyer.com/max-law-con-2020/Thanks so much for listening to the show!
