At the ABA Show, one product continues to impress me … Fujitsu’s ScanSnap. Model 501 is their desktop model … it’s outstanding. See my podcast with Derek Flower of Fujitsu, talking about the features and benefits of this unit.
At the Tech Show, I got to see the new portable unit, Model #300 …. It is sooooo small, light and priced right. Consider buying this if scanning on the road can benefit your practice.
At its annual technology fest in Chicago, the American Bar Association’s Law Practice Management Section once again displays its value to the legal profession … and its skill in throwing a great party.
As I walked around the Hilton Hotel, the new site for the show, I met many folks that I have known for years and some new folks as well. It is in these walks around the Exhibit Hall and elsewhere at the Show that I learn the most.
Once again, though, I realize that it’s the people you know that is the most important element to growing one’s business … Competence is presumed. But, when people like and trust you, they will help you grow, they will teach you valuable lessons about your business … and they make it a joy to attend conferences such as this. And, if they happen to be customers/clients of you, they will be loyal to you, you will be able to count on their business for your firm’s growth.
