American Academy Practice Building Boot Camp

For over 25 years, the Academy has offered Boot Camp training to Members and VIP Guests that covers all 11 Systems a successful estate planning practice – and a happy law firm owner – need in place.

The 8-hour Boot Camp will be led by the founders of The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys, Robert Armstrong and Sanford M. Fisch. These esteemed speakers are also the co-authors of The E-Myth Attorney.

Whether or not you opt to join the Membership during the Summit event, you’ll go home from this Boot Camp with the outline of every system you need to have in place to take your practice to new levels of success. Ask us how you can qualify to be a VIP Guest.

What You’ll Learn at the Academy’s Boot Camp:

• The fundamental systems to have in place in your practice to take your level of success and overall satisfaction to a new level
• How to diversify your Law Firm Marketing efforts and which tools you can create yourself or borrow from the Academy to generate a steady stream of new clients and revenue from existing clients
• How to ensure you have the right people in the appropriate jobs in your firm. This one session reveals how crucial your people are when it comes to establishing your firm culture and how your clients experience your practice.
• How to review your financials and use your P&L as a tool to navigate your firm to the next level of success, defined by you
• Whether or not adding financial services to your practice makes sense, and what the rules are if you do.
• How to conduct a consultation in a systematic way that uncovers every need the client has. It’s not easy to retool your consultation but this one session could make the entire trip worthwhile.

And this is just the Boot Camp! Academy Summits provide about 14 hours of CLE in the area of estate planning… For the 2019 Spring Summit Agenda, click here.
