What should I do about one of my associates?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 11th, 2025 9:29 PM Author: wonderful rough-skinned factory reset button black woman Shitlaw boss here. I recently hired a new associate. Through various marketing tactics, I have created a massive stream of leads, whereby prole prospective clients contact me in a panic, asking for legal help. It's been great, but it has grown beyond what I can handle.
So, I recently hired this chick as basically a saleswoman. Her job is to talk to the masses when they call in and try to convince them to use our services. (Our biggest practice area is rural real estate disputes). She gets a percentage of the initial payment that the clients make as a commission. She previously had a PI firm but she got divorced, sold the firm, and moved to my state to start a new life. I have several other associates but they just work the cases that I (and now this woman) bring in.
First week, I did a lot of training and did calls with her. Results were solid. Since then, results have declined. Today, she didn't sell anything. Also seems to be lacking urgency and taking her sweet time to call prospects back.
Aside from the lack of urgency, her big problem seems to be asking for money too ssoon, instead of letting people talk and giving them some free advice first. I'm going to do more practice calls with her this week, but what does XO think? If sales don't get made, my people won't have jobs. What should I do here? |

Date: August 11th, 2025 9:37 PM Author: Salmon supple hospital toilet seat I don't want to tell you how to run your business, but... in my business I always assign people to what they are good at. Is she good at selling? Also, if she needs money now, she will grow impatient and not be good at the soft sell/slow sell. I have a lot of business coming in this week because of free advice I handed out weeks or months ago. She may not be able to wait that long for her commission check.

She says she did a ton of intake at her PI firm. I guess the big difference is, those were on contingency. Most of these cases, people have to pay something up front. |

Date: August 11th, 2025 9:36 PM Author: Bull headed cerise address I think you need to work on this and think this out a bit more. the first part of this flame sounded really believable but then the part about everyone being out of a job because she's tanking this business (in which you have so many panicked clients calling) didn't seem believable. maybe you should let the flame develop naturally rather than explaining it all out in one poast. that's my take.

Date: August 11th, 2025 9:40 PM Author: wonderful rough-skinned factory reset button black woman I guess that's hyperbole on my part. If she can't make the sales, I have to go back to being the sole salesperson for the business. I can do it, and it's brought me success and wealth, but man is it ever draining. And we've grown just about as much as we can with only me doing it. Before hiring this woman, I rarely ate lunch and didn't have time to use the bathroom because I was on the phone with prole potential clients almost every available minute.

Date: August 11th, 2025 10:02 PM Author: diverse native wrinkle if you really can produce that volume it sounds like you should just quit doing any legal work and just handle intake yourself, easier to hire an attorney who can do shitlaw than one that can sell but isn't doing it for themselves already (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5761341&forum_id=2"#49176691) |

Date: August 11th, 2025 10:05 PM Author: wonderful rough-skinned factory reset button black woman That's basically what I was doing. I go to court sparingly at this point. But I want to keep growing and I only have so many hours in a day. The only way more expansion happens in my view is getting another attorney, and eventually a team of attorneys, to help with intake.

Date: August 11th, 2025 10:14 PM Author: wonderful rough-skinned factory reset button black woman This isn't about having a nice lifestyle. I'm pursuing greatness here. There has been rapid growth in my business over the last few years, and I have only scratched the surface of what's possible. Lots of untapped markets for what I'm doing. I've really only fully tapped into part of a single state. My goal is to become a shitlaw billionaire, and I have a plan to do it.

Date: August 16th, 2025 11:32 PM Author: wonderful rough-skinned factory reset button black woman This week didn't go great. She brought in about a quarter of what she needs to. I spent a lot of time with her and she really just doesn't sound confident on the phone. The whole thing really makes me sympathize with Alec Baldwin in Glengary Glen Ross. I could do great things with the leads that she has, it's frustrating that she can't.
Anyway, thinking of double teaming some calls with her this week to try to ease her into doing them the right way. |
