Below are just a few examples of some common questions we get at 713Training.com along with our responses. Enjoy!
QUESTION:
I have no experience in bankruptcy petition preparation, so would you give me a hint on how to approach the virtual bankruptcy assistant field and where to start? Which of your training materials would be best?
ANSWER:
We have developed a wide range of products in both printed, eBook and video format to provide people with a choice of which type of training works best for them depending on their knowledge base and experience.
For a person who is new to the bankruptcy field we have two packages that we recommend. They are:
Complete Chapter 7 AND Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Petition Training Kit – NOW INCLUDES VBA & CH 13 EXAMS!
Complete Chapter 7 AND Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Petition Training Kit – WITHOUT VBA & CH 13 EXAMS
These packages will educate a person with no prior knowledge or experience in bankruptcy on how to prepare petitions, both chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcies, develop a business strategy, and how to market to attorneys. By the time you complete these trainings you will be as knowledgeable as if you had been doing petitions for a while.
The difference between the two packages is that one includes the exams to receive a certification from the NAVBA.org, which you can then display and reference to in all your marketing efforts. This will provide added credibility to your bankruptcy petition services.
QUESTION:
I was wondering if it was okay to use the downloadable Client Intake Forms for my marketing packet, along with my finished practice petition? Please let me know. Thanks!
ANSWER:
Certainly! The Client Intake Forms are a great resource for any attorney and showing them that material will help to enhance your image as a professional.
QUESTION:
I just wanted your advice. Two different attorneys who are swamped by bankruptcy petitions looking for assistance contacted me. They both seemed extremely interested in my services until they asked what software I used. When I told them Best Case, they said they use EZfile and have been using it for years; and at that point their interest ended. Even though I told them I could efile for them or send them the completed petition in PDF format, it was clear they would not use my services unless I had EZfile.
ANSWER:
Why would you destroy your marketing efforts? If the attorneys had the work to give you – do whatever they want. They are the customer. You cannot dictate to your customer what you want them to do. If they want you to use EzFile and they have been using it for years, use EzFile. There is nothing written in stone that says you must use Best Case. I use it because I like it. But if an attorney wanted to give me a lot of work, I would use whatever software he or she wanted me to use.
Your purpose as a virtual bankruptcy assistant is to provide services in preparing well-detailed bankruptcy petitions. All bankruptcy software programs are going to be similar because all bankruptcy forms are the same. Never destroy your potential future over an argument about what software program to use.
If possible, call the attorneys back right away and tell them you looked at EzFile software and you would be happy to use it for their law firm. Then, NEVER make this smistake again.
