Building your WordPress business WordCamp Boston 2013Matt Report
If you're like me, you love WordPress and leverage it to make yourself a tidy living from it.
Over the last year, I've had the unique opportunity to interview WordPress entrepreneurs that create some amazing stuff.
It's their lessons of success and failure that will teach us to become better at this craft.
Opening and closing a case can be filled with minefields for law firms. Conflict checks, information gathering, file handoff and bill collections all can impose burdens on lawyers - taking them away from the valuable time actually servicing their clients' legal needs. If you hit a roadblock while on-boarding a new client, you can be setting your firm up for a future complaint. If you fail to close a file properly, your firm may be writing off legal fees that you've earned, and lose a client.
The entries and exits matter just as much in legal services as handling the case. Are you taking a 360 degree view when handling your cases?
In this Clio webinar, learn what you need to know about handling the bookends of intake and invoicing, including:
- Centralizing and documenting your conflict checks,
- Tools to help clients organize and share vital information with your firm,
- Best practices for ethically closing files, and
- Managing cash flows when invoicing clients
Speakers:
Joshua Lenon, Lawyer in Residence at Clio
David Tulkin, Senior Business Development Manager at Fundbox
Michael Chasin, Founder of Lexicata
Are you tired of stacks of papers creating clutter and slowing you down when looking for specific documents? Transitioning to a paperless law office can alleviate these pains and reduce stress in your work environment – it can also create leverage. That’s why we brought in well known attorney and author, Ernest Svenson (aka “Ernie the Attorney“), to explain how to make the switch.
Here are slides from his presentation.
According to most experts being freelancers and being an entrepreneur are two different things. Now the question is what can make a freelancer an entrepreneur in the corporate world?

Hello!
I Hope everyone is enjoying your day so far today. What a fantastic opportunity SABR is providing all of you by having these great speakers, and providing you MCE credit for attending. As Ron said, my name is Shannon King, and I’m fortunate enough to have an office right up the road in Austin. Where I became licensed in 00’ a few years ago my husbands job transferred me to San Diego. I found at that time it was necessary to really implement technology into my day to day business to keep my offices alive on the road. Out of that came this program, the real estate road warrior.
Let me tell you why! On average, PT saves 3 hours a month- but this is for normal users- not REALTORS who live on their cell phones. I think PT has saved me at least 15 minutes a day. Which is 7.5 hours a month!
What it does, is this… Your callers call you- leave a message and with in minutes you will get a text message with what the caller said- Perfect if you’re like me--- you’re with clients all day and you don’t want to be rude to answer your phone. Now you can be with your clients- and glance at your phone message that was texted to you to determine if you should step out and call them back. Typically you can just text them back the answer. Time saved!
You will also receive an e-mail with an audio file attached. Nice thing about this is – if you have e-mail capabilities on your phone, it will work just like a text message does. But that’s not all- with the e-mail (audio file) You can forward calls on to anyone- for example- you want your assistant to follow up- all you do is forward the message (saves you time from calling) You can forward on to your clients any responses they are waiting on… AND the nice thing is it’s coming straight from the other agent- you’re literally just the messenger- they can’t get mad at you any more
The last and my favorite part is you can file the audio files with your client files. SO when something comes up, and the other agent, or your broker, or your client says… I didn’t say that…. WhaLa you have instant CYA!!!! It’s fantastic!
