379. Delegate Your Way to Freedom with Brett Trembly

Author: My Legal Academy August 7, 2023 Duration: 43:28

Today we are excited to have a returning guest, Brett Trembly, the founder, and CEO of Get Staffed Up. In this conversation, we talk about Brett’s newest book, 24 Months to Freedom, and go through some of the chapters which he has laid out like a roadmap on the important positions in your law firm and how to know when and how to hire for them. As founder of Get Staffed Up and a lawyer himself, Brett knows the struggles that lawyers face in this process and I know you’ll get a lot out of our conversation today. Enjoy!

In this episode, Neil and Brett discuss:

  • Bringing on a staffer to serve your law firm.
  • How a virtual assistant can assist your law firm. 
  • Why you need to be doing consistent marketing. 
  • The secrets of growth as you bring on additional staffers. 

 

Key Takeaways:

  • If you don’t have an assistant, you are your assistant. Delegating will allow you to find time freedom that you couldn’t do before. 
  • Your marketing doesn’t need to be perfect - it just needs to be good and be consistent. 
  • Having a great system in place to convert clients, such as an intake coordinator, can present the right portrait and impression of your firm.
  • Sourcing your staff from the same company will ensure you know that they are being trained consistently and know how to work together to best serve your clients. 

"You have to protect your time as an attorney, you have to get rid of it every 10 minutes that you do work, that a $10 an hour assistant shouldn't be doing, you're losing $50." —  Brett Trembly
