Legal Management Systems: Paying Vendors with Credit Cards

Friends with benefits?!?  You may not consider your credit card companies your friends, but they can certainly offer benefits!

In addition to the convenience of paying vendors with credit cards, most credit card companies now offer points and/or rewards for each dollar your Firm spends. 

Has your Firm ever considered making use of those points to the Firm’s advantage?  

One of our Client Firms that pays some of its vendors with credit cards and uses the accumulated points in a very creative manner – with a HUGE payback!

In this case, the Firm had some Attorneys that were consistently late in submitting time.  The Firm decided to use their accumulated points for gift cards as an incentive for those entering their time on time – at no extra cost to the Firm.

Guess what happened?  While they were skeptical about the gift card program working, the results were astonishing.  Many of the Timekeepers made a much improved effort in getting their time recorded on a timely basis in order to qualify for the rewards cards.

Now, everyone’s happy – the Firm gets more time recorded in a timelier manner (and probably more billable time, since it is timely) and the Attorneys receive gift cards!

So, if you are trying to motivate the staff to submit billable hours on time, this just might be a solution for you to consider!
