Stop Selling Hours Start Selling Outcomes

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERE Are you a law firm owner looking for advice on improving leadership? In this insightful episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews lawyer and leadership consultant Noel Bagwell about personal experiences of resilience and rebuilding after major life changes, the importance of trust and communication in business, and his unique subscription-based legal model. Noel shares his insight on the importance of trust in legal practice and in leadership consulting. Both involve building and maintaining relationships with coworkers, counterparts and clients. It is important to be mindful of how you structure your relationships with people and how you navigate conflict. If you can develop trusting relationships, you can be informal with how to do business. But, it is crucial to still create strong, formal contracts with clients to keep things professional. Noel and Tyson chat about how to build confidence in yourself and clients. The first thing in achieving this is to understand your own competence. Think about what you excel in and what your weaknesses are, especially if you struggle with imposter syndrome. You need to rethink your mindset as it relates to yourself and your abilities. If there are areas of your firm that you are not strong in, such as contracts or intake, take some time to figure out a strong path forward to implement that change.
