Growing your law firm requires intentional action. When you set out on a trip, you put the address of your destination into the GPS and calculate your route.

You start by selecting your address (goal) for the quarter and then you can generate the directions for getting there. This episode tells you how to generate the directions to get there. This episode is your GPS for your next growth-filled quarter.

Hiring the wrong person to a position can be one of the costliest mistakes when growing your firm. Even worse, when somebody is not a good fit for the position, it is often difficult to let them go or get them out of that position which increases the loss to the firm owner. Creating and using a hiring process will allow you to bring uniformity to your talent search and help ensure you have a greater chance of success at finding the perfect candidate to fill your next open position.
The process you use is equally important and knowing what to do to vet the candidates interested in a position is instrumental to finding that perfect candidate. We break down some of the tricks to this process in this episode.
