  • Valuable Resource to Any Current or Prospective Solo/Small Firm Attorney

    I am way overdue in putting to paper that I recommend this podcast to most lawyers I know. I stumbled across this podcast in late 2023-early 2024 - a time I knew I was going to be making a career jump but didn’t quite know where I’d land. His insight and perspective on what matters, what doesn’t, how to narrow your focus, and how to be and do better for your employees & clients made an immeasurable impact on me as I considered going solo. I ultimately landed in a small firm & find myself regular... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Grassroots Marketing Still Beats Fancy Funnels | Tim Semeroth, Len Spada, & John Griffith
Q: What actionable metrics do you track weekly or monthly to feed the marketing machine?
The team tracks intake and leads, lunches scheduled, referral sources, and a quarterly KPI set for staff, including a target of about 1.5 lunches per week per staff, plus tracking five-star reviews and newsletter engagement to gauge impact.
The Future of Law Isn’t Less Human… It’s More | Dr. Cain Elliott
Q: What does predictive client matching mean for my practice?
As AI systems grow, they can analyze vast datasets to infer interests and likely decisions of potential clients, enabling more precise targeting and outreach without micromanaging every step. Firms should prepare for smarter client interactions and more proactive engagement based on data-driven insights.
Why Law Firms Are Getting Sued Over Their Own Marketing | John Henson
Q: Take me through and I'll let you set up the hypothetical, but for a law firm who might get in trouble with a TCPA claim, what does the client journey look like?
The client journey typically starts with a poorly vetted lead source where a firm may receive a list of numbers without verified consent. If those calls are made without proper consent documentation, the firm faces TCPA exposure, especially in states with stringent telemarketing regulations. The recommended approach is to demand full transparency from vendors, ensure there is verifiable consent for each contact attempt, and document the entire journey from lead generation to call disposition so that if a claim arises, you can show exactly what was authorized and by whom.
How to Build a Reputation Without Owning the Firm | Will McCreight
Q: What's the state of data sophistication in law firms today?
Many firms are more tech-enabled than they realize, with CRM and data tracking improving; however, some still rely on basic tools like spreadsheets, and robust integrations are key to meaningful insight.
How to Build a Reputation Without Owning the Firm | Will McCreight
Q: What cadence should a small firm use to stay aligned with their marketing and website teams?
At minimum, a quarterly big-picture strategy call, ideally with a fractional or full-time CMO to maintain high-level collaboration and direction.
