Back in 2011, I took my first business class in college. I had heard about this professor who had a really innovative way of teaching inside of the business school at ColumbiaAfter taking that class, I ended up having quite a few classes with him and he ended up becoming my Advisor for a little while. It was in 2012 during my junior where I took my first entrepreneurial class with him, created my first business plan and learned that Monopoly actually could be tied back to business (my family strongly dislikes playing with me now). Some of my favorite classes ever were taught by today's guest and I consider him my first mentor in the business world. The fact that we are sitting together now on my podcast over a decade later, it feels very surreal and I'm grateful. My guest today is Dr. Sean Siebert. Dr. Siebert's Bio:Dr. Sean Siebert's breadth of knowledge and experience, combined with his story-telling ability, make him a much-sought-after speaker, panelist, educator, and consultant.

A lot of us have heard about the big manufacturing trade shows like The International Manufacturing Technology Show and FABTECH. Those big trade shows can provide a lot of opportunities. But for many of us, a smaller mid-sized trade show could offer higher quality opportunities, if you do it right. As we know when it comes to high-quality leads, sometimes you can do a lot with a little. So, to help us better understand the magic of the mid-sized tradeshow, we're happy to be joined by Andrew LeGrand, industrial marketer at the Missouri Association of Manufacturers, aka MAM.

We're back with our second episode of the month to talk about connecting with people so that you will have clients throughout 2024. We call it filling your pipeline. Many of us focus on getting business. If we can spend time connecting with people with purpose, there generally will be a more steady flow of clients throughout the year. Did you apply anything you've learned from the first episode already? We would love to hear what worked for you! Our email address is in the show notes.   In this episode, we will look at the difference between online leads and live leads and a few marketing tips. February's guest is Janet Judd. She's a 2022 REBAC Hall of Fame recipient, Missouri Real Estate Commissioner, former President of the Missouri Association of REALTORS®, and she has won a number of awards in the business. She is going to give you real actionable tips to help you fill your buyer pipeline for 2024. [3:08] Excellent content on your site makes the difference. Janet gives some great recommendations.    [4:37] Janet hangs on to hits because they picked her. Respond promptly when they contact you. Janet suggests you host virtual tours and webinars on your site. [7:08] Janet pays the website professionals for content, SEO, and marketing of her site.    [10:25] Janet advertises in a neighborhood magazine to 55,000 homes a month. That's generated a few calls that she puts in her pipeline to send a monthly postcard.    [16:47] When her leads start responding more conversationally to her texts or emails, Janet knows it's time to set up a phone call with them to slowly but surely reel them in.   [18:46] Make sure you have testimonials on your website. Ask your clients for a testimonial right at the closing.    [20:29] Janet is a worker bee. She volunteers and works hard. Active listening is one of Janet's superpowers. If you can do that, it makes all the difference.   [22:13] Janet carries a wire-bound index card file in her purse to record notes about new contacts. For Janet, Top Producer is her “second brain.” Find your “second brain” that creates a flow.   [31:30] Be a resource. It creates credibility, trust, and an emotional connection. People decide with their emotions. The educational approach is her focus, now.   [33:50] I'm going to encourage our listeners to go back and listen to Part 1 of this conversation if they haven't already where Janet talks about her system of keeping up with leads and clients.   [34:55] Some states allow incentives or inducements, some do not. Check your state law before offering one.   [36:08] Some agents hold R.S.V.P.-only open houses as a security issue and let only one person come in at a time. Don't share your personal information online.   [38:08] Janet's last word: “You need consistent, excellent service to your existing clients. That's what's going to keep you in the business. … Whatever you do, autograph it with excellence.    [39:11] My favorite takeaway from Part 2 was the reminder that everything we do to improve our visibility will cost us time or money. What was your favorite tip from the 2nd episode? If you missed the first episode about great ways to connect with people in real-time, head back and hear Janet's tips to get started.   [40:25] We're going to be having several months of episodes focusing on tools to help you communicate more clearly, set excellent expectations, and create great experiences.

How is your business growing and flowing right now? I hope you have a pipeline full of clients who are looking right now or planning to buy or sell in the next few months. We know, though, that hope is not a strategy. We need better tools than just hope to get our buyer pipelines filled. We know that a whole lot is happening in the real estate industry right now. We will be having several months of focusing on tools you can use to communicate more clearly, to set better expectations, and to create great experiences for you and your clients. February's guest is Janet Judd. She's a 2022 REBAC Hall of Fame recipient, Missouri Real Estate Commissioner, former President of the Missouri Association of REALTORS®, and she has won a number of awards in the business. She is going to give you real actionable tips to help you fill your buyer pipeline for 2024. As a reminder, this a two-part episode, with the second part coming later this month.    [3:17] Janet is a solo agent in Missouri who has been selling real estate full-time for 38 years. She loves what she does and has a servant's heart for volunteering.  [5:42] You are the product when you're meeting clients. They need to know that you're engaging. You need to be credible and communicate to them the value of doing business with you.  [11:08] Janet discusses an app that let's you call someone's voicemail when you can't chat.  [14:15] For Janet, a pipeline means knowing she will be able to have a buyer close on a property. [15:00] Janet takes the most motivated ones out to show properties. She leads them along the pipeline with frequent contacts and suggestions.  [16:04] Janet has buyers in the pipeline for months. She keeps all her contacts in the loop so they don't run off with someone else. She gets them under a Buyer Agency Agreement as soon as she can.  [21:05] When buyers know what they want, it's easier to define and find it. Then you have to hold their hand and make sure they stay patient while you do your job.  [22:00] Janet discusses the CRM she uses. She also keeps a file folder for every contact in the pipeline with notes. She goes through all the folders each day, making contacts as appropriate.  [27:10] Sometimes you lose an opportunity. Ask people who may be a year from buying how often they want you to contact them. Janet discusses how to motivate them. [29:34] Janet invites people to sign a Buyer Agency Agreement at the first meeting. She writes the agreement for a year. It's a two-way commitment. Don't disappear from view. [33:15] Janet's last word: “I really just want you to understand the fact that you're the product. Help them make that emotional decision to work with you and be excited about the opportunity to work with them and help a dream come true — the American Dream come true.” [34:02] We will be continuing with great education to help you work more clearly and more intentionally with buyers. Join us every two weeks for new episodes and review the past episodes if you need help with specific topics. Thanks for joining us! Go out there, improve your system, and sell some property!   Tweetables: “I've been selling real estate full-time for 38 years. I don't have a team. I'm a solo agent and I still love what I do and definitely have a servant's heart for volunteering.” — Janet Judd “Being a buyer's agent, you've got to dance the way they want you to dance.

Fifth generation farmer Ryan Britt talks about the practices he's combined over the years and the results he's seeing in North Central Missouri. Ryan has been a full time farmer of soybeans, corn and wheat alongside his father ever since returning after college about 23 years ago. Ryan shares the journey he and his father have been on to transition their farm to no-till, add more cover crops, plant green, and incorporate livestock into their row crop operations. We also talk about various incentive programs that Ryan has been able to take advantage of, and how their soil health practices set them up for the drought conditions they're currently experiencing.  “Between the no till practices, the cover crop, and the terraces, we've actually greatly minimized some of our nutrient runoff concerns and our erosion concerns. So you kind of have to keep stacking all those things together. It's not one particular practice that makes a significant change, it's the whole system. We've seen that through the course of time, through stacking all those together, we're actually seeing some improvement in some of our land.” - Ryan Britt Ryan has become very involved in volunteer leadership positions, including his current role as an Executive Board Member for the National Association of Conservation Districts where he represents the north central region. He's also the immediate past president of the Missouri Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and a former Randolph County Farm Bureau President, among other service positions. He says these roles have exposed him to how other farms operate and given him countless lessons that he's been able to bring back to his farm for conservation, efficiency, and profitability.  “My father and my grandfather always encouraged me to try to improve things, to try to leave it better than you found it… As I got to seeing the different things that actually had lasting impacts, conservation and specifically soil and water programs are one of those things that I felt was a great investment and I feel like we're able to continue. And it's something that I feel like my kids will be able to be proud of or at least get some of the benefits from.” - Ryan Britt This Week on Soil Sense: Meet Fifth generation farmer Ryan Britt who shares the soil health practices he's combined on his operation and the results he's seeing in North Central Missouri.

Numerous organizations, including courts, are embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.  With that increasing acceptance, we are also seeing increasing resistance, and it is important to address that resistance directly.  On the December episode we discussed the question “can hiring criteria, particularly for managers and supervisors, be objective?”  This month we are going to explore the growing question “Is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion a Zero-Sum Proposition for White employees?” Michael Norton from Harvard University, and Samuel Summers from Tufts University, surveyed 417 citizens on their conception of racism in America.[1]  Several of their conclusions are worth noting:   · Overall anti-Black bias has been declining over the years. · White responses perceived that anti-Black bias has been declining at a rate even faster than that shown in responses from the group overall. · Black respondents perceived anti-White bias is almost non-existent. · White respondents perceive that anti-White bias has been growing since the year 2000. · Whites now see anti-White racism is a bigger problem than anti-Black bias, and · Anti-White racism is seen as a zero-sum condition.   This is encapsulated in a quote by ex-U.S. Senator and ex-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions who said: “Empathy for one party is always prejudice against another.”   Today's Panelists   Stacy Fields who is the Court Administrator for the Municipal Court in Crestwood, Missouri. Stacey has worked in the judiciary for 12 years. She has been a member of NACM for 5 years and serves on the Conference Development Committee. She also serves as Vice President of the Metropolitan St. Louis Association for Court Administration (MSLACA) and on the board of the Missouri Association for Court Administration as Professional Development Director. Zenell Brown who is Executive Court Administrator for the 3rd Circuit Court in Detroit, Michigan. As a Court Administrator, Zenell has garnered respect for her ethical leadership and innovation. She has built her approach on three pillars: communication, leadership responsibility and accountability, and diversity and inclusion. She has shared her “Justice for All” leadership and organizational wisdom at local, state, and national level conferences for court managers and teams. Zenell continues to add to her current credentials of Juris Doctor (Wayne State University Law School), Public Service Administration Graduate Certificate (Central Michigan University), Court Administration Certificate (Michigan State University), and Certified Diversity Professional (National Diversity Council-Diversity First).      Kristie Collier -Tucker who is Court Administrator and Clerk of Court for the Municipal Court in Union City, Georgia. Kristie is responsible for all court operations, including the implementation of policies and procedures of the Court Services department. Union City Municipal Court is a high-volume court, holding more than 20 sessions per month including specialty dockets such as a Under 21 Court, a docket that focuses on defendants who are under 21 at the time of the violation. This docket is an effort to reduce recidivism and improve driver awareness. The court utilizes alternative sentencing principles in all court activities by establishing partnerships with other programs. Kristie received a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education from South Carolina State University, an ABA approved Paralegal Certificate and Bachelor of Science in Administrative Management from Clayton State University and a MBA with a Human Resources Concentration from Ashford University.

St. Louis, Missouri trial lawyers Craig and Toni Schlapprizzi learned what it means to be a trial lawyer from their successful trial lawyer father, Don Schlapprizzi.  Now, both Craig and Toni are prominent trial lawyers in their own right who have won many large verdicts, and recently, achieved a record-setting $37 million settlement in a product liability case.  Join Rahul (https://www.psbr.law/ravipudi.html) and Ben (https://gideonasen.com/attorney-benjamin-gideon/) for a discussion with Craig and Toni about how their family and faith shaped their career as trial lawyers and the keys to their incredible success.About Craig SchlapprizziCRAIG SCHLAPPRIZZICraig@SchlapprizziPC.comVice President & Personal Injury LawyerGrowing up, Craig Schlapprizzi always knew he wanted to be a lawyer; it was ingrained in him from an early age, but it wasn't until he was in law school at Washington University that it clicked that he truly wanted to be a trial lawyer, and a good one at that. “Anybody who does this, represents plaintiffs in personal injury cases, knows it becomes a huge part of your identity and your life.”His favorite aspect of his job is the courtroom experience. He's most passionate about representing everyday people in a courtroom in front of a jury because he believes it's a privilege, an honor, an incredible experience, and, of course, a competition. He played football during his time at Dartmouth and was motivated by the competition and dedication involved. He experiences that same competition through his trial work.“There is a deep sense of satisfaction in standing up for someone who has been unjustly pushed around.”He likes going into something representing a person; he has always felt like he was on the right side, representing and fighting for somebody who was wronged. He's able to bring closure, and get people who wouldn't otherwise have the means, to live out the rest of their lives with dignity–that is what motivated him to be a personal injury trial lawyer.When Craig's not in court, he's pursuing his other passion: cooking. He gets inspiration for his concoctions from Mario Batali, Michael Mina, and Emeril. When he's not creating his latest pasta recipe, he enjoys trying new restaurants, exercising, travel, and spending time with family and friends.Craig is also a big history fan, his favorite historical figures being Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill. He's read many books on Lincoln, but he most frequently references the "The Quotable Winston Churchill" for a quick laugh or bit of motivation.He is a member of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys and is on the Board of Governors, as well as a member of the ABA, and the American Association for Justice.About Toni SchlapprizziTONI SCHLAPPRIZZIToni@SchlapprizziPC.comVice President & Personal Injury LawyerAntoinette (Toni) Schlapprizzi is a trial lawyer at Schlapprizzi Attorneys at Law, licensed in Missouri and Illinois. She believes that every human being has a unique dignity that must be honored and respected, and through her work as a trial attorney, she aggressively defends and protects this unique dignity each and every day.  Battling for truth on behalf of those who have survived serious injury and the loss of a loved one is at the core of who Toni is.She received her undergraduate degree at Tulane University, where she played Division I soccer as a central defender.  After riding the bench her freshman year, she earned a starting spot, and remained a starter on her team's defensive line until her career ended. She went on to graduate from Washington University School of Law. Since then, she's been defending the survivors of serious injury and wrongful deaths in both state and federal courts in Missouri and Illinois alongside her brother, Craig, and her father, Don.Certainly what drew Toni to the law was her father, Don Schlapprizzi. His conviction, moral code, and talent seep from every pore of his being to serve injured people and their families decade after decade. As a little girl, her father would tell her the stories of his clients and the courtroom, and she would pray for those people every night before bed. Toni considers her father to be one of the greatest mentors, teachers, and men she has ever known.“I have a heart and drive to serve our clients; I learn from them every day; they are gifts in my life; I work as hard and smart as I possibly can for them.”Toni fervently believes in the jury process.“A singular person is secured an equal playing field against powerful industry – whether insurance, government or business.  Juries ensure that the each of us will have a fighting chance against the powers that be.”Toni continues the legacy of Schlapprizzi Attorneys at Law with her father, Don, and brother, Craig. She feels blessed to be a plaintiffs' trial lawyer, and has great esteem for the legal profession and the courageous jurors, past, present, and future, in our community.

Are we there yet?   On today's episode of the Only in OK Show, we discuss the Tri-State Plaque in Quapaw, Oklahoma.   According to a plaque at the three-state spot, it took an 800-member expedition to map it. They spent nearly six months in 1857 walking only 40 miles from the southwest Missouri border, "hampered by rough terrain, heavy timber, and high water."  A massive stone cairn was built at the spot in 1938 by the National Youth Administration, but a weathered plaque on the cairn notes that it doesn't mark the actual spot, which is 50 feet east. This was rectified in Oct. 2004, when the Missouri Association of County Surveyors embedded a stand-here plaque in the ground on the actual three-state spot, which, conveniently, is at the end of a dead-end road. Stand on three states, with easy parking, too.   Quapaw is a town in Ottawa County, Oklahoma with a population of 906.  Quapaw is part of the Joplin, Missouri metropolitan area.  Discovery of lead and zinc ores during the 1920s resulted in this area being part of the Tri-State mining district, and resulted in a population boom as thousands of miners moved into the larger area.   Check out our sponsor for this episode - Holliday Tax Group   #TravelOK #onlyinokshow #Oklahoma #MadeinOklahoma #oklaproud #BetterTogether #SupportLocalEverything #positivenews #itunes #podcast #okherewego #traveloklahoma #Quapaw #history #roadside #monument

Court Leader’s Advantage Podcast: January 2021 Episode When we talk about the challenges confronting America’s judicial branch, we often focus on the concerns and accomplishments of large metropolitan courts. After all, they are often the ones that have more money and more resources to throw at a problem. However, a survey conducted several years ago, revealed that almost 65% of all courts in the United States had benches of fewer than four judges. In a large portion of our country, these local suburban and often rural jurisdictions, these local courts are the representative of the judicial branch. How are these local courts solving their problems? How are they coping with the issues of the day with less staff, less money, often shared facilities, and frequently government entities that are somewhat less respectful of the court as being a separate branch of government? This month we have invited clerks of court and court administrators of one and two judge courts around the country to chat about their current issues, about how they are managing those issues, and what advice they have for the rest of us.

As “tort reform” measures continue to sweep the country, Brett talks about how developing relationships with state and local legislators play a crucial role in putting a face and name to the trial bar and to the importance of ensuring our clients’ 7th Amendment rights are protected.

This week, your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Kent Emison of Langdon & Emison (https://www.langdonemison.com/) and Hoyt Tessener of James Scott Farrin (https://www.farrin.com/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Missouri personal injury lawyer Kent Emison of Langdon & Emison and North Carolina trial lawyer Hoyt Tessener of James Scott Farrin share how they secured justice for an 11-year-old boy who was paralyzed in a car crash due to an inadequate seat belt design. Positioned in the rear center seat of his father's 1999 Ford Escort, Che-Val Batts' two-point lap belt jackknifed him when another car suddenly pulled out in front of the Escort, leaving Che-Val with damage to his internal organs and spinal cord, rendering him a paraplegic. The other passengers, who were restrained by three-point seat belts, sustained significantly less severe injuries. Despite knowing the higher safety rating of three-point seatbelts and including these more effective restraints in other models, Ford continued to manufacture Escorts with a rear center seat two-point seat belt, violating the company's own safety policies. The defense's attempts to blame Che-Val's injuries on his own misplacement of the lap belt swayed some Nash County, North Carolina jurors and resulted in a hung jury. The case was ultimately settled for $31 million, with details of the settlement remaining confidential.     Click Here to Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Kent Emison A Fellow in the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and a frequent lecturer to bar associations and trial lawyer groups nationwide, Kent devotes 100 percent of his practice to litigation in product liability, motor vehicle accidents, and other cases involving personal injury and wrongful death. In that role he has served as lead trial counsel in numerous multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements and has handled cases all across the United States, from Florida to Hawaii. Best Lawyers in America named Kent "Lawyer of the Year" for 2018 for personal injury plaintiffs' litigation for the Kansas City metro area.  In 2017 he received the Thomas G. Strong Trial Attorney Award from the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys for his leadership in the profession.  Kent's reputation in the field is due to his track record of obtaining the maximum compensation for injured individuals and for families who have lost loved ones. Throughout his career he has been an advocate of trial by jury and is seen as a leader in the profession. For the past three consecutive years Kent has been selected as one of the top 100 lawyers in Missouri and Kansas by the peer review process Super Lawyers. American Lawyer magazine and Martindale-Hubbell named him a “Top rated personal injury lawyer” for 2013, and in 2012 he was honored by Missouri Lawyers Weekly as part of its “Lawyer of the Year” program. This award was for his leadership of Langdon & Emison and his service to the profession and the community.  Best Lawyers in America named Kent the “Lawyer of the Year” for plaintiff's personal injury litigation, Kansas City region, for both 2011 and 2014. Read Full Bio   Hoyt Tessener Litigation attorney Hoyt Tessener tries the really tough cases – and he has for more than 30 years. Tough strategically. Tough emotionally. The trucking accidents whose evidence gives you chills. The personal injury cases that can bring an otherwise “impartial” jury to tears. Cases that few have the stomach to try. Confidently. Thoroughly. Compassionately. Hoyt joined the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin in 2017 so he could try these tough cases with the resources and technology behind him to take his legendary litigation efforts to the next level. He is a shareholder of the firm. Admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court and having tried over 100 cases in state and federal courts throughout North Carolina with multiple verdict awards of $1,000,000 or more, lawyers and judges and others know Hoyt for his confidence, tenacity, and meticulous preparation.
