In this enlightening interview, Ali Katz sits down with Kim Rockwood, a former Personal Family Lawyer® (or PFL) and senior law business advisor at New Law Business Model®. Together, they tackle the commonly held myth that December is a “dead month” for marketing and why believing this might be keeping lawyers from achieving consistent income. Kim shares her journey of transforming her practice, guided by the PFL model strategies, into a full-fledged business—thanks, in large part, to a pivotal marketing webinar held on December 30th that filled her calendar for six weeks! This discussion sheds light on the benefits of challenging limiting beliefs and how systematic planning can create unprecedented growth in any month of the year. Ali and Kim underscore the role of mentorship, effective marketing strategies, and tools for consistent income, proving that no month is “dead” for those committed to a strategic approach. Key Takeaways: Challenge Myths That Limit Your Growth: December and summer are often dismissed as non-viable for marketing, but these months can actually be ripe with opportunity. Shifting this mindset can unlock new revenue streams. Importance of Mentorship in Business Transformation: Kim's success story emphasizes the impact of guidance from experienced mentors, which helped her push past her reservations and plan strategically. Power of Yearly Marketing Mapping: Setting an annual calendar for events and marketing activities, as Kim did, allows for focused and consistent business development. Planning ahead helps avoid last-minute scheduling stress and ensures a steady flow of leads.

In this episode, Ali Katz dives into a pivotal question faced by lawyers: What do you do when potential clients don't engage your services? Drawing from her own journey from rejection to client engagement mastery, Ali shares actionable strategies on reshaping your approach to client consultations, aligning your sales strategy with authentic service, and structuring follow-up that leads clients back to you. Through a unique mix of personal anecdotes and coaching insights, Ali demonstrates how to guide clients through the process of seeing the value in your services, without needing to resort to persuasion or hard selling.   Key Takeaways: Embrace Sales as Service: Sales in law is not about convincing; it's about supporting clients in making informed, valuable decisions aligned with their needs. Structured Initial Consultations: Design consultations as working sessions with a clear purpose, name, and value. Guide clients through the cost-benefit analysis of hiring you, showing the impact of not proceeding. Targeted Follow-Up: Use strategic follow-up calls and customized “did not engage” (DNE) letters to reconnect with potential clients and address any remaining uncertainties or concerns. Differentiated Service Model: Ensure your unique service offerings are clearly communicated, including any ongoing value (e.g., lifetime client relationships), and frame them in terms of client benefits, not just legal jargon. Ongoing Engagement & Re-engagement Campaigns: Consistent follow-up through newsletters and re-engagement efforts, like a “Back from the Dead” campaign, can bring clients back even years later.   Ali emphasizes that building a successful law practice involves continual improvement in client engagement methods and understanding the "why" behind potential clients' hesitations. Her approach transforms rejection into a stepping stone for growth, making every “did not engage” a learning opportunity to refine and reinforce the value of the services offered.

Tax projections are crucial: By reconciling books and providing income and expense projections to your CPA, you can explore strategies to minimize your tax burden before year-end. Plan for entity creation: Setting up business entities and adjusting cash flow strategies, like delaying income or accelerating expenses, are vital tools to optimize taxes.

In time and as you become a parent, there are critical legal planning steps you need to take. Do you have a ‘sure to work' plan to make sure your children would stay ... The post Wear Clean Underwear: Ali Katz appeared first on Author Hour.

Our legal and financial services industries are broken, and today's guest is here to help fix it. Ali Katz is the Founder & CEO at New Law Business Model. She works to update the way families and small business owners make their decisions about legal, insurance, financial and tax matters. Ali joins the host Molly McGrath to talk about how to avoid taking your frustrations out on your staff.   Takeaways:    Ali created the new law business model when she realized that the traditional model for lawyers and their staff is broken. She discovered this when she was in a business for herself and she noticed that the way she was taught to serve clients from law school doesn't really serve everyone the way it should. The need for transformation in the legal and financial services industry is dire. With the way the current system is set up, it causes a lot of stress on founders and CEOs which leads to them taking their anger out on their staff.  When you are opening your own law firm, you have to be a leader and leadership begins with yourself. We tend to model ourselves after our role models and if they aren't setting a positive example, it sets others up for failure. There is a lot of power in taking a moment to take a breath and focus on what the issue is at hand. This allows both people to clear their minds and come up with a solution to the issue instead of immediately getting angry. In many cases, the lawyers who are the most stressed out, you are probably coming across as mean and it creates a stressful environment and makes everyone uncomfortable in the office.  Your emotions are your responsibility. As a leader, you need to keep your emotions in check and you need to make sure you are empowering your employees enough that they feel comfortable and confident to be strong. Your team members can be your boss, but you also have to be somebody who is bossable.  You need to ask yourself how you maintain the balance between being a leader and also being a collaborative partner with members of your team.
