Podcasts about client communication

Some shops run clean because the people do—no late-night texts, threaded comms, and a lean, full-sub model that actually protects margin. We also get into the personal discipline behind it (sobriety, routines, boundaries) and how that steadied cash flow and home life. https://www.clarkandaldine.com Video Notes:  00:00 Intro & sponsors 05:07 Year in review + first new build 06:16 Cash-flow punch forces a reset 16:05 Sober season: anxiety, sleep, showing up 28:00 Reading & meditation with the kids 38:47 Client comms: no texting—use threads 40:27 Only call for emergencies (house flooding) 60:00 Picking the right scopes for margins 60:50 Running lean: 99.5% subbed out 68:20 Onboarding that sets expectations 78:35 Website, portfolio & finding your client 90:00 Life/business tradeoffs you don't see on IG 104:50 Wrap-up & where to find Clark + Aldine Video Version:  https://youtu.be/ZckcifjgzLo   Partners:  Andersen Windows Buildertrend Harnish Workwear  Use code H1025 and get 10% off their H-label gear   The Modern Craftsman: linktr.ee/moderncraftsmanpodcast Find Our Hosts:  Nick Schiffer  Tyler Grace  Podcast Produced By: Motif Media

From navigating the temptations (and pitfalls) of using your personal cell phone for business to setting clear expectations with clients—especially when things move slowly, like in appellate cases—we get real about the day-to-day struggles of keeping clients informed without burning out. We discuss why establishing boundaries from the start is not just practical but essential, and how maintaining professionalism with friends and family as clients can be a minefield if not handled properly.Whether you're in law school, thinking about practice management, or just aiming to survive your legal career without drowning in missed texts and client frustration, this episode is packed with honest insights, actionable tips, and the kind of advice every law student wishes they'd gotten sooner.So grab your notebook—because these are the lessons they don't teach you in law school.Here are our top 3 takeaways:Set Communication Expectations from the StartMake it clear to clients how, when, and where you'll communicate. This prevents missed messages, unrealistic demands, and misunderstandings.Keep Client Communication Organized and SecureAvoid mixing personal devices with client business. Use law practice management tools (with secure messaging) to ensure everything is confidential, logged, and accessible when you need it.Treat Friends and Family as Clients—ProfessionallyThe temptation to “bend the rules” for those you know can backfire. Use the same intake and communication protocols for everyone; it ensures nothing slips through the cracks.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Irene Castagnotto: Building Bridges—How Great Product Owners Create Team Alignment Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Building Trust Through Transparency and Purpose Irene emphasizes that exceptional Product Owners excel at building trust with their teams by consistently sharing the "why" behind decisions and features. They trust their teams completely and ensure that team members understand the purpose and reasoning behind every request. This transparency creates a foundation of mutual trust where teams feel confident in the Product Owner's direction. Great Product Owners use moments when features don't work as expected as opportunities to explore and reinforce the underlying purpose, turning potential setbacks into learning experiences that strengthen team understanding and alignment. The Bad Product Owner: When Stories Replace Truth Irene witnessed a Product Owner who, when facing difficult client conversations without positive information to share, chose to "make up stories" rather than being transparent about challenges. This lack of honesty led to delivering something the client couldn't accept, resulting in an angry client during the demo. This anti-pattern of using "good words" instead of honest communication ultimately damages client relationships and team credibility. The lesson learned: Product Owners must be transparent with clients about what is and isn't possible, even when the news is difficult to deliver. Self-reflection Question: How do you balance protecting your team from client frustration while maintaining the transparency necessary for successful product development?

Chris Gantz - Patriot Properties Property Management On the How the Internet Has Changed the Real Estate Industry: "Now you have the democratization of that MLS book, right? So that value is completely gone for the broker because everybody can see everybody everywhere at all times." Investing in Real Estate is often a great way to add to your investment portfolio.  There are a few main ways to invest, and one of them is to own property that you pay for someone else to take care of the property.  This includes preparing the place for rent, marketing the property, and finding some sweet people to rent the place.  Chris Gantz of Patriot Properties knows property management and real estate investing. Unlike the usual interviews with investors and agents, Chris brings a boots-on-the-ground perspective, sharing what it's really like to manage thousands of units across Wisconsin—including multifamily buildings, self-storage, mobile home parks, and short-term rentals. This is the guy doing the things that the other investors pay people to do.  Chris is the real deal and explains in candid detail what you need to look for when hunting for your property manager.  He also discusses a few things to look for in the rental property you are looking to acquire. Chris delves into Patriot Properties' innovative decentralized model, how technology is transforming the industry, and the strategies his team uses to stay ahead of the competition—like same-day showings and rapid application processing. He also explains the challenges and perks of active management, pricing strategies, the ever-evolving rental market, and how landlords can maximize returns in both cash-flow and appreciation-focused markets. Listen as Chris explains tips for finding off-market deals and managing tenant relationships (including some wild stories!). If you're thinking about investing in real estate or want to learn what it takes to truly succeed in property management, you won't want to miss Chris's thoughtful insights and candid stories from the field.

You know the Burr method, right? House hacking, I think that's always a great way. One of the things I've always said is, in my opinion, you know, one of the fastest ways to make money in real estate is to fix and flip. So if you can find the single family home, you're going to live in it, or the duplex, you're going to live in it, fix it up. While you live there, you're putting in all the sweat equity, do as much work as you can. Foreign.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Nick Werker discuss:The importance of proper phone handling in law firm intake processesHow customer experience begins with an intentional communication strategyShifting lawyer mindsets around sales and client engagementThe evolving standards of professionalism and wellness in legal practice Key Takeaways:Solo and small law firms often lose clients due to missed calls or lack of call-forwarding plans, which can be easily fixed with tools like rollover call forwarding.Answering services should align intake scripts with law firms' CRM systems and help pre-qualify callers without turning anyone away, allowing for both client conversion and effective referrals.Intake staff should prioritize empathy and rapport over data collection, allowing callers to fully explain their problem before asking for details.Lawyers frequently lose potential clients not due to pricing or competence, but due to a lack of communication and failure to follow up after the initial contact."Don't pressure people, but let them know that you have a solution to their problem and that and why you're the best solution to that problem." —  Nick Werker Unlock the secrets of rainmaking success—join Steve Fretzin and four powerhouse legal experts for Be That Lawyer LIVE on August 27; reserve your spot now at fretzin.com/events. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

There are few areas of the practice that I think are quite as “client-facing” as Family Law.This is not to say that clients take a back-seat when it comes to other kinds of legal matters, but it should come as no surprise to anyone - regardless of legal acumen - that when you're dealing with people's money AND family, communication can make or break a case. My guest this week knows this better than most.Larry Praeger is board certified as a Family Law Specialist, and has been a practicing attorney for nearly four and a half decades. His Dallas based practice focuses on family law, with a specialty in mediation, and professional licensing issues. For the past 30 years Larry has gained extensive experience in all aspects of Family Law, as well as preparing and defending mental health professionals in family law matters and helping them prepare for the litigation process. Having started his career as Assistant County Attorney in Bell Texas, he has been an author, speaker, and as of last year, Larry has added Professor to the growing list of titles.We discuss his tips for effective client communication, how the legal landscape has changed, and the many nuances of Family Law. Enjoy the show.

In this candid episode of PPC Live The Podcast, host Anu sits down with Peter Guba, a Google Ads expert and founder of Profit Mill, to explore the raw reality of PPC failures and how they can become powerful learning experiences. Peter shares two memorable mistakes from his career - one hilarious, one costly - that shaped him into the marketer he is today.The main story centres on a perfect storm of PPC disasters: while managing a multi-million dollar enterprise event management client, Peter's Dynamic Search Ads began targeting Christmas trivia content from the client's blog during the holiday season. This led to massive irrelevant traffic, zero qualified leads for over a month, and ultimately the loss of the client - despite Peter successfully fixing the issue using Google's data exclusion functionality.Key takeaways:1. Own Your Mistakes ImmediatelyTransparency and accountability are crucial when things go wrongClients respect honesty more than excuses or blame-shiftingThe person who made the mistake is often best positioned to prevent it from happening again2. Smart Bidding Requires Smart MonitoringAutomation isn't "set it and forget it" - it needs consistent oversightGoogle's algorithm needs substantial data to learn, which can be expensive with broad, irrelevant keywordsThird-party monitoring tools can help catch issues before clients do3.
