    Are you a business owner looking for tips on improving email marketing? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews email marketing expert Jay Schwedelson, founder of SubjectLine.com, to discuss data-driven strategies for boosting email engagement. Jay shares actionable tips on crafting attention-grabbing subject lines, debunks common myths about spam filters, and highlights the importance of growing a targeted email database.

    Jay provides some tips for creating interesting subject lines for emails. One thing to consider is using white space. This includes having a subject line and then a pre header. A pre header is a second subject line and is usually in grey text. With this tactic, many people are intrigued because there is so much open space that they wonder what the email is about. For Jay, this saw open rates increase by 25%.

    Jay and Tyson chat about the key metrics for email marketing. One metric is to understand your target audience through developing an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). This is creating a description for the ideal customer who will benefit from your business. Identifying your ICP will help a business tailor their marketing. Another metric is focusing on the database and how to grow it. This can include hiring the right people to work on improving your database and knowing what to add to it and remove from it.

    Are you a law firm owner looking for advice on improving leadership? In this insightful episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews lawyer and leadership consultant Noel Bagwell about personal experiences of resilience and rebuilding after major life changes, the importance of trust and communication in business, and his unique subscription-based legal model.

    Noel shares his insight on the importance of trust in legal practice and in leadership consulting. Both involve building and maintaining relationships with coworkers, counterparts and clients. It is important to be mindful of how you structure your relationships with people and how you navigate conflict. If you can develop trusting relationships, you can be informal with how to do business. But, it is crucial to still create strong, formal contracts with clients to keep things professional.

    Noel and Tyson chat about how to build confidence in yourself and clients. The first thing in achieving this is to understand your own competence. Think about what you excel in and what your weaknesses are, especially if you struggle with imposter syndrome. You need to rethink your mindset as it relates to yourself and your abilities. If there are areas of your firm that you are not strong in, such as contracts or intake, take some time to figure out a strong path forward to implement that change.

  • AI, Debt, And Buildings, The New Wealth Stack For Lawyers

    Are you an entrepreneur looking to grow and thrive in the legal space? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Matt Anderson, an attorney and real estate investor, about his unconventional journey blending law, entrepreneurship, and property investing. Matt shares lessons from multi-level marketing and business ownership and emphasizes the importance of hiring for culture fit.

    For lawyers who are new to the entrepreneurial space, it is possible to build a firm that runs on minimal daily involvement. In order to do this, you need to let go of a lot of the day to day work of practicing law as well as partner and hire individuals who can help you achieve that. Partner with another lawyer who has the same vision as you. After that, look at hiring good lawyers who will do all the necessary work that will bring you success. That way, you can spend your day doing what you want to do.

    Matt provides some insights on hiring staff based on culture and character, rather than experience. One way to do this is utilizing personality tests, inner metrics and multiple interviews to find the right fit. For Matt, anyone can learn a skill or aspects of a job. But, not everyone has the character or personality to work for a certain firm. As an owner, you need to determine what kind of firm you want to run and hire people based on what matters to you most.
