Today on the podcast Tyson sat down with MaxLawCon 2021 co-title sponsor Readback Active Reporting. The market insights are almost obvious, but the solutions have been evasive. The shortage of court reporters has been well known for many years. The shortage was acute prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s getting worse. Reporters are in an enviable position of enjoying strong demand for their services, but that doesn’t provide an incentive to innovate.Additionally, attorneys and clients have been growing increasingly frustrated with escalating costs – especially the add-ons. There are fees per page, fees for copies, fees for rough copies, fees for rushing, fees for appearing, and on and on.Finally, elite litigators were gladly paying much higher fees for real-time reporting in which they could see the transcript as the steno operator worked. We learned that they were getting an advantage, and we wanted to figure out how to deliver a similarly powerful experience to everyone. Tune in to this episode to learn how they’ve done just that. https://www.readback.legalWatch the interview here.Subscribe to our YouTube channel so you never miss an interview, presentation or training!  Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn

It's not great, but I think you're going to be better off in the long run because it's sort of either up or out. It's as hard to get them to fit back into their old role.Jesse’s Tip: Walt Disney always said we're always going to plus the show. We're always going to plus this theme park. It's a living breathing thing. And the plus is just continuous improvement. He wanted people to always get more and expect more. And so, we talk to our team, “How are we going to plus the experience today? How are we going to plus this promotion?” And when you look at every area of your business and look at a way to plus it, it's pretty amazing the results that come from it.Tyson’s Tip: Break down every stage of the process for the firm when it comes to the client. We went through the entire client journey. But we just asked these questions, ”What's the client currently doing at that point in the case? So, what's the client doing? What's the client thinking? What and who do they interact with? What is the client feeling? And then, what needs to be done?” We broke down each of these things. After that, we did opportunities. What can we do that no one else is doing? So, I highly recommend going through that with your team. So, break down the entire process for the client. And then, at each phase, answer those questions. You know, go a long way. And then, ask the question, “How do you plus it?” because we're going to add that to our questions. “How do we then plus it?” Because I really do think that that is the magic question.Watch the interview here.Subscribe to our YouTube channel so you never miss an interview, presentation or training!  Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn

Stay ConnectedPodcastInstagram FacebookYouTubeLinedInJim’s Hack: I think that we either need to do a lot more prep the night before to get ready for the next day. But if you're running out the door-- I did that one day this week, I overslept because I've been up late, and it just changed the whole trajectory of my day. So, for me, getting up, meditating, reading something of value, trying to journal, I just can't recommend that enough. David’s Tip: Take one client and double your prices and actually do it because if you see yourself do it, if you give yourself the experience, it will shatter your belief system around what's possible. It can be done in any industry with any client.Tyson’s Tip: Heropost. They have a limited time offer where, for lifetime, it’s $197.
