The Power of Setting Expectations with Bill Farias

Why the skill of setting expectations is essential for a smooth and streamlined life and business.

The Law Firm Owner Podcast from Velocity Work

Description

If you want to grow your firm, the bottom line is you need happy clients. Setting expectations anywhere, whether within your business or in your day-to-day with your friends and family, is the secret to a streamlined experience where everybody is positioned to win, and Melissa’s guest this week is here to encourage you to make it a part of your firm’s culture.

Bill Farias is a family law attorney based in Massachusetts. He’s been practicing for 12 years, starting out as a prosecutor, going on to criminal defense, and eventually landing on family law. He got serious about making the transition from solo practitioner to CEO of his own firm four years ago, and setting expectations has been a huge part of the success he’s seen since making the leap.

Tune in for a masterclass on setting expectations. Bill is offering his take on the power of setting expectations upfront with your clients and team, why everybody wins when expectations are set properly, and how to start implementing expectations within the different facets of your business.
