  • Tips on following up with new people you meet at social and networking events
    Episode 44 of Building Your Law Practice with Jim Thompson and Nick Augustine
    Let’s get back to the basics of social and business interactions and focus on following up with people we want to know, like and build trust. Too often people act like robots by going to events, giving a canned speech about themselves to another person, giving away their business cards and asking for others. Many bring the collection of new business cards back to simply set them on a pile and leave them to collect dust. Break the cycle and get to really know them.

  • Updating and managing your content to optimize your website and earn new clients
    Episode 43 of Building Your Law Practice with Jim Thompson and Nick Augustine
    Take a look at your copyright notice on your website. If none of the copy has changed, thus requiring a copyright update, ask yourself why. While sections of your website best known by the search engines should not be changed, there are other areas where you might have added new services or changed the way you describe a product or service. Content plans should include frequent blog publishing and tools to share your content, such as boosted content and video.

  • Growing your Referral Partner Network
    Episode 42 of Building Your Law Practice with Jim Thompson and Nick Augustine
    Referrals are the best source of business for many lawyers. When someone we know, like and trust gives out our name to an individual looking for our services, and there is already an endorsement, we are more likely to earn business from the prospective client. Referrals can come from current and past clients, but also from people in what we call the Referral Partner Network. Today we talk about setting up reciprocal relationships with client referral partners.

  • Emergency Planning: Does your law firm have a plan for emergencies?
    Episode 41 of Building Your Law Practice with Jim Thompson and Nick Augustine
    What happens if you encounter a temporary medical condition and you cannot make it to court? Will your law partners step up in court and handle your cases? What happens if you are a sole practitioner and have no law partners to handle your cases? Having some standard emergency motions to continue your cases is one thing, but what happens in a longer period of incapacity. Just like we plan for our personal lives, we should plan for our professional affairs.
