Growing your business as a sole practitioner without sacrificing work-life balance

Meeting client demand while maintaining a desirable work-life balance as a sole practitioner can be challenging. Do you want to take on more clients, but don’t have enough time? Here’s three tips to maximise your time to allow you to grow your business. 

1. Minimise administration by taking advantage of technology and outsourcing where possible

Sole practitoner, Mayaz Raihani of Raihani Lawyers came across SettleIT in 2019, and engaged the flexible, cloud-based solution to handle lodgments and settlements from start to finish, post-exchange.

“As a sole practitioner running a general practice, I’m always on the lookout for ways to streamline day to day work to free up my time so that I can focus on higher priority work”.

By taking advantage of technology and outsource administrative tasks, she has been able to accept more work, and grow her business.

“The time saved in having the SettleIT  team take carriage of a good portion of the work has allowed me to take on all conveyancing work that ordinarily I would not have accepted simply because I did not have the time,” said Raihani.

2. Invest in cloud-based solutions to ensure continuation of service

Business continuity has been at the forefront of practitioner’s minds since the beginning of the pandemic. The transition to working from home, and not being able to meet with clients face-to-face presented unforeseen challenges.

The adaptability and flexibility provided with using cloud-based solutions ensures streamlined business continuity. Raihani revealed that despite lockdowns and general uncertainty, “the ability to continue working remotely through the technological systems put in place” allowed her business to have its “best year yet in 2021”. 

3. Partner with a service that can ease the transition from traditional to electronic processes

We understand that transitioning from traditional manual process to new electronic ones can be challenging and time consuming. With SettleIT, our team are trained and experienced in electronic lodgments and settlement, to support you in making the transition as smooth as possible.

“There definitely was a learning hurdle and investment into getting everything in order and understanding the electronic systems, but that has paid off spectacularly both for the business and our clients who continued to receive the expeditious quality service they needed irrespective of external factors,” Raihani applauded.

InfoTrack offers innovative technology solutions that aid in increasing efficiency, so you have time to focus on your clients. Embrace technology and engage specialised services to reduce administrative tasks so you can focus on providing quality service to your clients while also taking on more business to grow your firm while maintaining a work-life balance.
