[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to be delicate but I’m worried for her. She is on her own, and needs the money, but also very stubborn on how things should be done. She’ll often reference an approach cited by some big law partner she worked with decades ago.  But times have changed. A lot. Examples:

No social media or linkedin 
She wants to call potential recruiters and leads on the phone instead of emailing them or god forbid, using their intake portals (recruiters) 
She advises her clients in ways that are not market standard

Advice. 
Get a linked in with a nice pic and details that don’t include years

Move away from insisting on phone calls. People communicate by email. If you insist on calls, they must be zoom or teams, not phone calls unless the client has indicated they prefer this method (some older clients might). If you refuse to put anything in email/writing, you will look inefficient, over cautious and insecure about your advice. You will also look like you are trying to pad your bill.

Use chat for organizing, repetitive and admin tasks, and for background research. Always check anything you intend to use in work product throughly
