Design an an advertisement to be printed in local telephone books. A colorful ad will stand out among your competitors ads and may result in more people giving your firm a call when they need legal help pertaining to a family matter. Have a website designed that is easy to navigate and that provides visitors with detailed information about your business. Use terms that are easy to follow so that anyone in need of help will not feel intimated and disregard your ad.
Clearly Defined Responsibilities For Workers
Type and print a detailed list of responsibilities for your staff members. Hold a meeting to go over the duties and discuss at length any work matters that will require additional attention to details. For instance, if you have a receptionist, assistant, and secretary, tell each person what you expect of them on a daily basis and make sure that they understand that they are not to shirk off responsibilities and have another person cover for them.
Post the list of work responsibilities on a wall inside of your firm so that employees can refer to it as needed. If any new duties come into play, host a new meeting to introduce them to your staff members so that everyone is on the same page and work is completed in a timely manner.
