VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Dewnya Bazzi
[2:50] “I have automated the communication my firm sends to clients. For example, if they have a deposition scheduled, they receive 12 emails and 12 text messages with bite-sized tips and teachings before they get to me for our client prep. They are getting educated with text and videos from me, so it creates a personal connection … even when I haven’t seen them too much on a file.”

[3:38] “They learn:
– What is the insurance company trying to accomplish through this deposition?
– What higher-level questions should I ask my attorney beforehand? Not, “Do I answer every question, or what if I need a break?”

[3:58] “Now the questions they are asking me are so specific that the value of their cases are increasing.”

[11:37] “The deposition testimony of our clients has materially improved. And their discovery responses are so much better.”

[11:55] “That is increasing the value of our cases all around. Before the automation our attorneys were rushing to sit with a client for an hour, trying to get them to understand everything. But they couldn’t process everything that quickly, and would fall short in their depositions. They wouldn’t do a good job of conveying how their injuries changed their ability to lead a normal life, so the insurance company would offer $15,000.”

[12:35] “Now clients are conveying a list I had them prepare beforehand. They’re bringing it to the deposition, and the insurance company offers are coming higher because of that.”

Method 2
Have us automate your firm’s depo prep and more
We began building custom automations for law firms in mid-2024 and have so far created:
p
1. Deposition Prep
Like Dewnya’s automation, ours uses your likeness and voice to teach your clients helpful deposition practices so you can focus your preparation time on the issues specific to their cases. Improve your clients’ deposition performances without spending more time.
2. Webchat
Engage more website visitors with a conversational and knowledgeable bot that … unlike most human answering services … can answer most any question in your specialty.
3. Front Desk
Are you missing calls during business hours? Are you dissatisfied with your answering service? Substitute a 24/7 conversational voice agent 10x more knowledgeable than anyone you can hire.
Currently in development are:
4. Client Updates
Reduce incoming client calls by 50%, and completely eliminate calls from disgruntled clients. Our automation uses your likeness and voice to deliver progress reports using calls, texts, emails, and videos.
5. Lead Follow-up
Convert more of your unsigned but wanted leads with our extensive and varied follow-up. Texts, voicemails, emails, and videos keep you in front of undecided prospects while demonstrating your expertise, building trust, and setting yourself apart from your competition.
6. First meetings
Streamline and focus your initial conversations with new clients using an automation that beforehand educates them about your process and obtains foundational information.
Don’t feel you are limited to the six automations listed above; we enjoy creating new custom automations and I have a list of other possibilities that I can share with you.

 

We charge $995/month to build, install, and maintain 3 automations of your choosing. We charge nothing extra for their creation unless your CRM lacks integration connections and we need to pay to have them developed, in which case we pass through that cost.

If you want to speak with me about potential automations, calendar a 30-minute appointment by clicking below. Together we will review the time-consuming, disliked, or poorly-done tasks at your firm that can be streamlined and improved with automations.
