To borrow a phrase from the old AT&T commercials, today there are more ways than ever to reach out and touch someone. Never mind phones, cell phones, and voicemail. Today, how might a client or colleague reach you? Email, your website, your client portal, a chat message (…via texting, Slack, or Teams, etc.), a web meeting (…was it on Google Meet, Teams, WebEx, or Zoom), or even via social media (…did it come from LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp, or Twitter, etc.). How you use and manage these “channels” makes them either fortuitous or frustrating, a benefit or a boondoggle. Each channel has benefits and drawbacks. In this seminar, you’ll learn technologies and techniques that will improve communication, lower your stress, generate happier clients, and lower your malpractice risk. We’ll detail: 1) which platforms work best for different needs, 2) organizational strategies to handle the flow of information, and 3) effective tools for communicating with clients and colleagues remotely.
