“You can always get more money, but you can never get more time. So you need to ensure the things you spend your time on make the biggest impact,” Allan Dib, author of The 1-Page Marketing Plan

There is a little-known secret for growing your law firm, and it is buying back your time. As the author Dan Martell defines it:

“The little-known secret to reaching the next stage of your business is spending your time on only the tasks that: (a) you excel at, (b) you truly enjoy, and (c) add the highest value (usually in the form of revenue to your business). Likely, two or three tasks fit that description. Every other task you’re handling is allowing your growth and sucking the life from you, and you should clear it from your calendar. Yes, someone else should be handling about 95 percent of your current work so you can get back to what matters.”

This realization is what led Amata to create a wide array of services that help lawyers and professional service providers do that: Buy back their time and focus on what matters. In that way, they get to increase profitability, enjoy a better work-life balance, and feel energized by the work that they do.

Today we’re going to talk about a clear example of this: Shipping services.

How many times have you spent 2-3 hours sending or receiving a package? While it doesn’t happen every day, shipping can be very time-consuming and take on hours that could be allocated for billable work, high-level strategy, or just relaxing with your loved ones. And that’s when our virtual offices and virtual assistants come in.

Once you join Amata, we can hand-deliver and pick up packages for you. Our assistants will manage your shipping needs with the level of urgency that you require, with the fastest option being a delivery within the hour after receipt of documents inside the Chicago Loop area.

Instead of wasting time going to the post office, our administrative support services include the preparation and delivery of Fed-Ex packages, postage services, and an on-demand messenger. Since most lawyers have to deal with sensitive documents, we ensure that your package reaches the right hands promptly and keep a record of it that you can eventually use as proof.

Access Shipping Services, Even Working From Home

For remote and hybrid companies, our virtual offices can provide the comfort and professional experience of a luxury office, without the high costs. With our virtual office program, you get access to a business address in a prominent area in Chicago, so clients associate your organization with a Class A location and experience.

This also entitles you to receive correspondence at the location and enjoy mail processing and forwarding. The on-site staff will inform you when important correspondence arrives, and we can also receive, scan, and forward any documents for you. Everything is handled with extreme professionality and discretion, as each of our team members goes through a four-person interview process — We want to make sure they care about your success, becoming a reliable extension of your team.

“Amata has helped my business grow from a virtual mailbox to two permanent office spaces… [and] has allowed me to present my business in the most professional manner possible.”
