Taking the mystery out of billable hours

Read MoreThis course definitely helped me understand the difference between billable hours and hours actually worked in a day as well as how to craft time entries that a client will be willing to pay for. I also highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to be more productive in their workday and still leave the office on time!

Your job security is directly linked to your billable hours.
Your bonus is directly linked to your billable hours.
The size of your raise is directly linked to your billable hours.
Law firms also look at a timekeeper's billable hours to determine if the timekeeper has enough work to do.
And yet, it seems unfair because it feels like you have no control over the amount of billable work they give you.
What if we told you that you have more control than you might think?
The Billable Hour Boot Camp will show you things that you can do to increase your billable hours, some of which don't even involve you doing more billable work than you're already doing.

Billable Hour Coach
If you're like me (and hundreds of thousands of other legal professionals), you go to work for a law firm and you’re told that you have to bill X number of hours per year to client files, but no one tells you HOW to do that.
Even though…your bonus might depend on it.
Your raise might depend on it.
Your job security might depend on it.
It’s not fair. But I can tell you that you’re not alone. In the 30 years that I’ve been in the legal industry, I have never met a legal professional who started at a new law firm and received comprehensive training on HOW to increase their billable hours or how to draft time entries.
In the Billable Hour Boot Camp, Ann Pearson gives you real-world strategies to increase your billable hours, draft better time entries, and get more done in less time.
