A lot of the norms that people relied on in 2019 simply don’t exist anymore. For example…
The biggest challenge with firms after experiencing covid…
Is figuring out how to move forward with people working remotely, at the office, or both.
Remote work has become a necessity for most firms now. The benefits include:
- No longer being limited by the general area of your practice and going statewide
- The opportunity to choose from a bigger pool of talent to work for your firm
- Software and programs that allow for more productivity than ever before
Your competitiveness in the market is now tied to your willingness to work remotely, whether it’s a hybrid approach or a full-time approach.
Take Brian Kennel, for example…
Pre-pandemic, Brian was working with 15-20 clients at any given time, and since he moved remotely…
That number has jumped to 40 all over the country because of the great processes he put in place.
What do those processes consist of?
In this week’s podcast, 3-time repeat guest Brian Kennel discusses why the firms with the most growth will have leaned into a remote work culture that allows them to be more productive and profitable than ever.
There’s much more to learn in this episode about scaling your firm and managing your team remotely, so tune in now!
