  • Robots Do Paperwork; You Do Winning

    What if your team could trade hours of grunt work for minutes of streamlined execution—and spend the saved time actually winning business? We sit down with a former law firm manager turned automation strategist to unpack how robotic process automation reduces repetitive tasks, safeguards accuracy, and gives clients more of your human attention where it counts.

    We draw a bright line between RPA and AI: AI imitates thinking, while RPA imitates clicks and keystrokes with clear rules. That distinction is the key to consistency, compliance, and predictable outcomes. You’ll hear a probate case study where a bot turns four hours of admin into eight minutes—extracting data, triggering human intake, generating documents, coordinating DocuSign, e-filing, and updating calendars with human review steps baked in. We also break down the biggest bottleneck in personal injury—medical records—and how automation handles requests, retrieval, classification, naming, filing, and notifications so a six-person team can reclaim three days a week.

    For sales and marketing leaders, we get tactical: automate intake, CRM entry, routing, reminders, and asset prep, but keep live conversations human. Start with your current tech stack—HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft, or Calendly—before adding custom bots. Move information gathering from email ping-pong to structured web forms with conditional logic to create clean, searchable data that accelerates every downstream workflow. Most importantly, avoid culture traps by inviting your team into the process: ask what they love, what drags them down, and what they wish they had time to do. When people see automation as a gateway to higher-value work—strategy, client trust, and growth—they become champions, not skeptics.

    If you’re ready to scale service quality without scaling headcount, this playbook will help you choose the right tasks, design human checkpoints, and build buy-in from day one. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs the time back, and leave a review telling us the first workflow you’d automate.

  • How Smart Lawyers Stop Doing Busywork And Start Building A Profitable Practice
    Jan 25 2026

    What if your firm grew faster the moment you stopped doing “everything”? We brought on Ron Bockstahler of Amata Office Centers to show how small and solo law practices scale with less stress by outsourcing the back office, using virtual offices for presence, and focusing lawyer time on what actually pays: legal work and prospecting.

    We start with a reality check for attorneys leaving big firms. The comforts of enterprise-grade support vanish on day one—secure systems, phones, mail, intake, compliance, and endless admin decisions land on your desk. Ron explains how virtual office programs handle mail, calls, and client-facing workflows so you keep a professional footprint without a costly lease. Then we dig into the golden rule: if it’s not billable, you shouldn’t be doing it. Bookkeeping, IT, document production, and even first drafts can be handled by experts or AI-assisted tools, leaving you to review and refine at a higher value.

    Growth depends on the pipeline you build, not the clients you hope stick around. We break down referral strategies that drive 80% of matters for many small firms, from mapping complementary practices to scheduling weekly one-on-ones that consistently produce introductions. Evan shares a simple “pay time vs. no pay time” framework to protect your calendar, while Craig tackles the marketing wake-up call: AI is reshaping search behavior, so DIY tactics often miss shifting algorithms and intent. Ron’s story of a strong firm seeing call volume drop becomes a lesson in hiring professional marketing that tracks leads from search to signed engagement and adapts before results slide.

    By the end, you’ll have a lean, practical playbook: write clear goals, delegate nonbillables, protect pay time, invest in a referral engine, and modernize your marketing for the AI era. Keep it simple, keep it flexible, and align costs with revenue so your firm compounds instead of grinds.

    If these plays help, follow and subscribe for more sales and marketing strategies, share the show with a colleague, and leave a quick review to tell us which tactic you’ll put into action this week.

  • Top marketing agencies that focus on b2b lead generation
    Jan 18 2026

    Send us a text

    Ready to trade noisy “more leads” for a pipeline you can actually close? We dig into what growth marketing really means for B2B teams: systematic experimentation tied to revenue, not vanity metrics. With Evan Polin’s sales coaching lens and Craig Andrews' growth marketing strategy playbook, we map how to align sales and marketing so both sides win and buyers feel it from the first touch.

    We start by cutting through agency labels and assets that masquerade as strategy. Then we define the difference between MQLs and SQLs and explain why shifting to sales accepted leads, pipeline created, and revenue influenced changes the culture overnight. If sales hates the leads, marketing is failing; if sales can’t say why, sales is failing marketing. That’s where the weekly feedback loop comes in—field notes shape ICP updates, messaging pivots, and nurture arcs that steadily advance deals instead of clogging calendars.

    You’ll hear practical takeaways for small and mid-sized teams without enterprise budgets: how to clarify your ideal client profile, why people remember you for the first thing you sold, and how long it really takes to reposition an offer. We talk problem-first content that answers real questions buyers ask, smarter LinkedIn targeting, and how to rebuild an email reputation after blasting the list into spam filters. Most of all, we show why better alignment beats more spend, and how testing, not guessing, builds durable momentum—cleaner discovery calls, shorter cycles, and easier upsells.

    If you’re serious about revenue and tired of activity for activity’s sake, this playbook episode is your next step. Follow the show, share it with your team, and leave a review to tell us what’s working.
