From the desk of: Josephine Romano
Dear Law Professional,
ello! I'm Jo Romano and I have to warn you, what you're about to read may ruffle some feathers. But I feel like it needs to be said…so I'm willing to accept the consequences that could follow.
You see, many law professionals and firms are used to doing things a certain way. They're ingrained into a tradition of thinking and looking at things from a pre-defined perspective. And as we see in so many walks of life, changing age-old perspectives can be quite a battle.
However, the truth is, the law must adapt to our changing world just like any other profession. As our environment is re-shaped, as new technologies are discovered, and as we learn from past experiences it just doesn't make sense to not utilize the new opportunities to provide better service to our clients, achieve greater financial success, and enjoy a more flexible lifestyle.
Are you interested in having a
practice where you can…
Custom tailor your career to match up with your values and passions? You'll probably be surprised at the dozens of different directions you can take to serve others inside and outside of the legal profession.
Easily develop more productive, efficient, and rewarding relationships with colleagues and clients? Become one of the top earners in your firm when you understand these simple personal skills that most lawyers don't have.
Break free of the billable hour and not only earn more money in the process, but have the flexibility and freedom to enjoy a personal life? If you think you have to stay chained to the office and miss out on everything else life has to offer in exchange for career advancement you're dead wrong.
Reduce stress and work with ease? Find out what steps you can take and tools you can use to get more done in less time, and wake up each day feeling invigorated at the day's work ahead instead of anxious and burnt out.
Or maybe you've already climbed the ladder, and are in charge of overseeing the direction and success of your firm. Now more than ever, leaders like you need to be aware of all the options they have to fuel their firm's growth and profitability. Imagine having the tools and knowledge at your fingertips to…
Attract and retain top talent to give your firm the rainmakers it needs to stay ahead of competition, and deliver the high quality service that attracts high level, high paying clients.
Get everyone in your firm on the same page and moving quickly to achieve your firm's overall goals. Getting the different personalities on your team collaborating, communicating, and working together efficiently can mean the difference between a record year and barely scraping by.
Pull in high paying clients, and foster more profitable relationships with the ones you have. In today's ever more competitive environment, knowing how to market your firm's services is essential. Find out what it takes to make your firm stand out, and how to create an environment that breeds rainmakers.
Permanently reduce costs and increase your firm's return on investment by as much as 10 to 1 by learning to manage your firm like a well-oiled business.
You can unlock all these things and much more,
once you have the power in your hands that the right tools and knowledge can give you...
If you're feeling stuck, burnt out, and unsure about where your career is headed…
If you're second guessing why you came into law in the first place…
If you're unhappy about the time and energy your job is taking away from you…
If you're eager to advance your career and increase your income, but aren't sure how…
Or if you're firm's revenue is shrinking, and you'd like to turn things around and launch your firm to the top of the field…
There are options. And there are solutions.
And if you're bold enough to look for them, this may be one of the most important letters you'll read this year.
A New Wave Of Law Professionals Is Rising - Made Up Of People Just Like You, Who Are Now Experiencing Greater Satisfaction In Their Work, Larger Financial Rewards, And A New Zest For Life
The Question Is: Will You Choose To Get Your Feet Wet And Learn From Their Success, Or Get Washed Up In The Rising Tides?
I've worked and associated with hundreds of lawyers and law professionals over the past few decades. I worked as a County Clerk and Superior Court Manager for 20 years, and have since moved on to consulting and coaching lawyers and law firms towards greater success.
In all my time in the legal profession, I know how tough the world of law can be. I see many people in the profession completely burnt out, stressed, and unsatisfied with where their career has taken them. Others I work with are simply struggling to make the advancements in their career to create the future they want.
The bottom line is, many lawyers end up settling for the high stress, long hours, and an ultimately unsatisfying lifestyle to get ahead.
But what usually ends up happening, is that while they were "getting ahead" they were also getting closer and closer to burn out. They were missing out on spending time with their friends and family and enjoying life. And they were actually making decisions that were holding their career and income back the whole time.
If this sounds familiar to you, it's time to start working smarter not harder. If you still want to put in the long hours, working smarter will only push you ahead that much faster. But if you feel like your professional and personal life are out of whack, you can learn to leverage your time better so you can spend more time on yourself and the people you care about.
And when it comes right down to it, firms and lawyers alike that fail to grasp many of the latest trends and strategies for increased productivity, greater efficiency, better service, and stronger marketing will very likely be swept aside by the ones that do. It's a simple matter of business, and the people that can deliver what the clients of the future want will be those with the fattest bank accounts.

Presentation #1: Lisa Martin
"Briefcase Moms and Dads: Map Your Way to Balance"
Discover The Simple Steps You Can Start Taking Today (Without Making Any Dramatic Changes In The Number Of Billable Hours You're Working)… |
…To Have More Time And Energy At The End Of The Day For Your Family, Friends, And Hobbies"
Do you ever get the feeling that life is passing you by while you're stuck at the office?
For many lawyers, having a personal life is important…but to advance their careers, they need to put in a certain number of hours each day. Often at the expense of spending quality time with their family and friends, or enjoying rejuvenating personal hobbies and activities.
In fact, The American Bar Association has reported that the desire for more time to meet personal and family needs is one of the major reasons lawyers consider leaving the legal profession. And in a survey done by the National Association for Law Placement Foundation, out of the 6,000 lawyers surveyed over 70 percent reported moderate to major problems handling family and household responsibilities and finding time for leisure activities.
So is advancing your career and having a personal life at the same time just a dream?
The answer many lawyers are finding is that having a more balanced work and personal life is actually a very possible reality. And that a more balanced approach can actually create an environment for higher productivity, more responsive and efficient working habits, and a more balanced perspective. Ultimately resulting in higher client and attorney satisfaction.
Just imagine a life where you could…
Proceed through your day with the sense that there is enough time to effectively accomplish work related tasks, instead of feeling rushed, stressed out, and overwhelmed at all you have to do.
Walk out of the office at the end of the day feeling accomplished, not drained and tired. And head home with plenty of time left in the day to do the things you want.
Pulling into the driveway of your home with a strong reservoir of energy to be able to enjoy spending time with your family, doing some activity you like, having some friends over for dinner, or even just sitting back and relaxing.
After struggling through the daily hustle and bustle for so long, a life like that may seem like an impossible fantasy. But many lawyers are living that life today. And you can too, once you learn some simple skills on how to navigate your work and personal life more effectively.
Lisa Martin's work has been cited by Columbia University as a resource for working parents and employers seeking creative solutions for work-life balance. And she is the author of the best selling book "Briefcase Moms: 10 Proven Practices to Balance Working Mothers' Lives."
Through coaching 1,000's of business and law professionals to help find the right work-life balance for their individual needs, Lisa has designed a step-by-step assessment program to help you pin point the key problem areas holding you back from enjoying a more balanced and successful life.
In Lisa's presentation, you'll discover…
How to give your firm a competitive edge and be able to recruit, engage, and retain your lawyers through more supportive working environments that give consideration to each individual's work-life balance.
How to reduce stress and overwhelm by developing clearer, more efficient working habits and attitudes that will allow you to accomplish more in less time.
Identifying the unique obstacles that are standing in your way to living a more satisfied life, and how to overcome them.
The secret to taking back control of your personal life, and creating more quality out of the time you have to spend.
The dangerous energy draining thoughts and activities you must eliminate from your routine to have lasting energy throughout your day.
And much more!
How Much Longer Will You Keep Putting Your Life On Hold?
Too often, when we put things on hold tomorrow turns into next month which turns into next year…and before you know it you're old and tired and trying to figure out how you could've let so much of your life slip by.
Having a balanced life doesn't mean that you can't be an excellent attorney at the same time. On the contrary, taking the steps to get more out of your personal life can often rejuvenate your burned out perspective…giving you the initiative and drive to take on even greater challenges.
And do you really want to look back years from now at all the times you missed watching you children grow, laughing with friends, or just plain having fun?

Presentation #2: J. Kim Wright
"Are You a Renaissance Lawyer? New Models Trends and Approaches for Law Practice"
"How To Tailor Your Practice To Fit Your Individual Personality, Values, And Goals So You Can Wake Up Feeling Good About The Day's Work Ahead - And Deliver The Best Solutions For Each Of Your Client's Unique Situations" |
Like many lawyers, you may have the feeling that while you are following the letter of the law, you aren't helping your clients reach the solutions they are really after. In fact, a recent study showed that 70% of the "winners" in litigation were actually unhappy with the end results of their case.
This can make waking up to go to work everyday a chore and a challenge, instead of the fulfilling satisfaction it should be. Because while legally relevant facts are important, not paying attention to the context and social fabric involved in disputes can often lead to both parties being unsatisfied with the results you achieve for them.
And at the core of your being, seeing these ultimately unfavorable results is just not satisfying…and can eventually lead to serious burn out and distress.
However, in recent years new methods have been forged by a faction of lawyers who are making an exciting and redemptive shift from strictly adversarial approaches of dispute resolution - to a more considerate and ultimately more effective approach to each client's individual needs. Resulting in a more cooperative, comprehensive, humanistic, healing, and even spiritual way to resolve disputes.
The Secret To Feeling Good About What You Do, And Delivering Better Solutions To Your Clients
Are you feeling "stuck" and unsatisfied with the work you're doing? Does it seem like the legal system has sent you down a path you didn't intend to go down from the start?
Many lawyers in this situation ultimately give up and move on to other careers due to their stress and dissatisfaction. However, another less traveled road is to take on new outlooks on law by bringing in innovative tools and approaches to your practice.
You can stay in law and feel satisfied and happy about your work. Thousands of lawyers just like you have taken the initiative to shift their thinking, and are now flourishing…waking up every day excited about what they can create and achieve.
In J. Kim Wright's presentation, you'll discover a blueprint of all the cutting edge tools and approaches that are available to you right now, including…
Restorative Justice - Now with over 1,000 programs in North America, and 2,000 in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand…the success rates of these victim-offender criminal mediation programs are extremely encouraging, with over 90% of restitution agreements completed within a year (vs. 20-30% with court ordered restitution). Victims and offenders get a chance in many cases to sit down face to face, and let their feelings be heard. Often resulting in much lower re-offense rates.
Collaborative Law - Originally a family law model in which the parties agree that their attorneys either withdraw rather than litigate, or that the parties and their attorneys devote their energies for a defined period in order to achieve a collaborative solution prior to litigating.
Here, the focus is on resolution and problem solving without the threat of court filings and process. Thus, unlike other forms of alternative dispute resolution in which a lawsuit is filed first and then referred for mediation or arbitration, mutually satisfactory cooperative resolution is the focus of all parties from the outset.
Collaborative lawyers work with their clients and each other, volunteer information to aid with resolution, and strive for a collegial atmosphere. Originally applied to divorces, collaborative law is being applied anywhere ongoing relationships are involved, even if the ongoing relationship is the shared custody of children.
Community Lawyering - Involves including the source of problems for corrective action planning involving members of affected communities, rather than just punitive measures, particularly in government-regulated circumstances.
Community lawyering is a movement where the lawyers, especially those in government, public interest, and similar settings, work together to address the underlying problems that result in clients being in court, as well as to promote the welfare of the community.
Community lawyering includes:
- Using the law proactively to assist in community problem solving on crime reduction, quality-of-life issues, and economic development.
- Making "the system" work to meet community needs.
- Using the law as a positive energy to assist in community building and affirmation.
Therapeutic Jurisprudence - Focusing on Law's greater social impact and possible support for the healing needed after conflict is over, TJ is an interdisciplinary perspective that incorporates law's impact on the emotional and psychological health of the participants in the legal system. The goal is to bring sensitivity into law practice. TJ focuses on listening to clients with an awareness of psychological and emotional issues, including stress, confidence, and trust. TJ also looks at the court system and how it impacts society. It provides a new contextual platform by which to look at the concept of jurisprudence and the underlying purposes of the legal system.
Pioneering a new paradigm of law...
J. Kim Wright not only practices law from a holistic, peace-making perspective, she also publishes The Cutting Edge Law Magazine, trains internationally in collaborative law and restorative justice, coaches other attorneys to create law practices that express their authentic values, plans amazing conferences, and is a college professor in her "spare time".
Kim is the Founder of the Renaissance Lawyer Society and has been practicing, consulting, writing, and speaking about new models, trends and approaches to law for over a decade.
This new movement in law is gaining momentum. Around the country and the world, creative, intelligent, good-hearted, pioneers have applied their problem-solving skills to the legal system to expand the choices available to lawyers and to clients. They are shaping their careers inside the law to align with their values and interests and they are making a living doing it! Are you ready to take back control of your career?
Learn about the new approaches that are renewing excitement for working in the law, making more options in law practices available. Know that the options exist inside the law and what they are.
Learn about who these innovative leaders are and how they are aligning their law degrees with their values and how you can do it too!

Presentation #3: Simon Tupman
"From Lawyer To Entrepreneur: Why Lawyers Who Start Focusing On The Business Side Of Law Will Excel Past Their Peers In The Years Ahead" |
Isn’t the concept of an entrepreneurial lawyer an oxymoron?
How is it possible to be entrepreneurial in such a compliant and conservative profession?
How can you operate like an entrepreneur when you've got so many billable hours to achieve?
The answers to these and other questions will be revealed in Simon Tupman’s session, "From Lawyer to Entrepreneur."
With more and more competition popping up, an often times more discerning and demanding market, more frequent client poaching by competing firms, commoditization, and other trends, law firms who choose not to focus and develop important business aspects of their operations face the danger of quickly losing their footing and struggling to stay afloat in spite of dwindling revenue.
However, firms and lawyers who begin to adopt a more entrepreneurial mind set can not only make improvements that will result in higher revenues, but also create an environment that will better serve clients and leave lawyers more satisfied with their careers.
Provide More Value For Clients, And Watch Client Retention Soar And Your Firm Become The Obvious First Choice For New Clients
Having a more business oriented practice does not mean that bottom line profits will outweigh the client's or lawyer's interests. On the contrary, just like in any profitable business, one of the most important elements is how well customers are served.
In Simon Tupman's presentation From Lawyer To Entrepreneur, you'll discover how to go beyond "service with a smile" and provide the value that discerning law firm shoppers are looking for today.
You'll also learn how to translate and communicate this value so clients can easily understand how much you're worth, to create more retainer based, long term relationships. These types of relationships will allow you to go beyond the billable hour, and not only create higher profits but also unlock freedoms lawyers have not typically enjoyed in the past.
The Keys To Higher Productivity and Efficiency, And How To Attract and Retain Top Talent
Simon will reveal how to take managerial and relationship building strategies that have worked effectively in other industries to get your firm working as "one team". When everyone in your firm is collaborating efficiently, your firm can provide better service to clients in less time.
You'll also learn what you need to do to make your firm a top choice among new talent, and how to create a work environment that your top flight team does not want to leave.
Just like in any other business, if your product isn't good people won't buy it. And in the legal profession, your people are your product. That's why learning what the most skilled talent is looking for when they send out their applications, and what it's going to take in the years ahead to keep them on board is so important.
Expanding Your Horizons
Simon Tupman is a former practicing UK lawyer who now consults to law firms worldwide from his base in Byron Bay, Australia. His business, Lawyers With A Life, creates opportunities for lawyers and law firms to develop better people, better practices, and better profits. Simon is also a humorous and inspirational speaker and a skilled facilitator. He addresses law conferences and partnership retreats around the globe.
He is the author of two books, including 'Why Lawyers Should Eat Bananas' the influential best-selling guide for lawyers looking to achieve more in their practices. He has also authored and been the subject of articles that have been published in law journals internationally. He is a member of the Law Society of England and Wales, the Law Council of Australia and the International Federation of Professional Speakers.
But don't take my word for it, take a look at what one of the many lawyers Simon has helped had to say about his teachings...
"I felt inspired to drop you a line after successfully implementing just one of your 101 ideas within one month after buying your book. What a success; In terms of work generation, fantastic! I feel we have a winning blue print for future seminars and I know that none of our regional competitors is doing anything like this. Thank you for inspiring me."

Presentation #5: Gina Sauer
"You're Never Stuck! Career Options for Lawyers Who Don't Want to Practice Anymore!"
Are you feeling burnt out with your career in law? Did you know there are over 300 different fields hungry for legal professionals like you?
|
Find out how to tell if the burn out you're feeling is serious enough for a career change, and how to confidently make the leap into something more satisfying if it is…"
Do you feel stressed out, un-interested, and just plain burnt out with your job as a lawyer? Are the demands of practicing law becoming too overwhelming? Or do you just feel like you need a change in your life?
If you're like many legal professionals, you may feel uncertain about whether or not you should move on to something different…or if what you're feeling is just a normal part of life.
After working with hundreds of lawyers and helping them find careers that fit their lifestyle, needs, and aspirations, Gina Sauer has put together an enlightening presentation entitled, "You're Never Stuck! Over 300 Career Options for Lawyers Who Don't Want to Practice Law Anymore."
Gina is a Career Coach and Marketing Director with The Esquire Group, a leading job placement firm serving the legal profession. She began her career as a practicing attorney with the Twin Cities' oldest law firm. She served as Assistant Dean for Career Services at a law school for nearly a decade and is a former President of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP).
She has written many articles and speaks frequently on a variety of career-related topics, however, her particular area of expertise is alternative careers for lawyers.
She is a former chair of NALP's Alternative Careers Committee. And is co-author, along with Patricia Comeford, J.D., of Lessons from a Headhunter…with Heart!, a groundbreaking book which provides not just practical advice but emotional support and spiritual guidance to help readers through the challenging process of career transition.
During Gina's presentation, you'll discover…
The key questions you need to ask yourself to confidently decide whether it's time to move onto another career, or if the burn out you're experiencing can be solved in other ways.
A step-by-step guide to evaluate what new career would be the best fit for your personality, aspirations, desires, and experience.
A look at some of the 300 different careers in which a J.D. is a preferred degree.
How to make your career transition as smooth and easy as possible…so you can find and move into your satisfying new career without any hassles or serious interruptions.
Don't "Just Settle" For A Career You're
Not Passionate About
We spend so much of our lives at work. So it doesn't make sense to settle for something that you can't be passionate and satisfied doing, does it? Yet that's what so many lawyers end up doing. Simply because they're not sure about what to do, or if there are better options to choose.
At the end of Gina's presentation, you'll be able to cut through the "back and forth" feelings of indecision, and confidently make the move that's right for you. Whether that is staying in your current position, or moving onto something more fulfilling.
There are so many different and exciting options to choose, it just doesn't make sense to settle when there may be something much more rewarding waiting for you. Gina will help you assess which of those options may be a good fit for your unique background and interests, using the proven PACE self assessment system.
Then, if you're ready to take the leap into a new career, you'll also discover tips and strategies to make your transition as smooth as possible. After helping 100's of lawyers find careers they love, Gina knows what pitfalls and mistakes to avoid that can cause unnecessarily long transitions from one job to another…and how to make yourself stand out to employers so you get the compensation you deserve.

Presentation #6: Arnie Herz
"XE Factor: Relationship Skills for Success"
Do You Know How The 'XE' Factor Is Impacting Your Practice? The Lawyer's Who Are Paying Attention To It Are Fostering More Profitable Relationships With Clients, Being More Productive, And Communicating More Easily With Colleagues… |
Do you know the most common thing that separates highly successful lawyers from those who just can't seem to get past mediocre success?
It's probably not what you think.
In fact, many lawyers with excellent knowledge of the law and excellent track records in the court room miss out on this crucial factor…forever dooming themselves to far less success than they could be achieving.
So what is it?
It's relationships…and knowing how to form positive ones not only with your clients, but with your colleagues as well.
A Simpler Way To Approach Relationships, And Easily Win People To Your Favor…Introducing, The XE Factor
You're probably an expert negotiator. You know how to present facts in a way that makes it hard to not see things you way. So why don't you have top notch relationships? Why aren't your colleagues eager to lend a hand when you need them? Why do you find so many clients and potential clients leaving for other law firms?
The truth is, people care about more than just facts. They're emotional creatures…and make the majority of their decisions based on those emotions, not on the logical facts. They justify their decisions with logical facts, but it's the emotions that drive them.
Our next presenter is Arnie Herz who has uncovered one of the easiest ways I've ever seen to bring the different emotions people have into consideration with your relationships…and as a result quickly increase your productivity and profitability.
Arnie has worked with over 3,500 lawyers in the past 6 years, who have used his innovative approaches to achieve some outstanding results. Take a look at what a recent participant of one of his seminars had to say…
"I've attended several Arnie Herz presentations, always marveling at how he makes 'outside the box' thinking so relevant to his audiences of attorneys and businesspeople. Arnie is the only presenter I've asked to return to speak again before the bar association committee I run, because I wanted - for my final meeting as committee Chair - to go out with a bang! "
David Abeshouse,
Business Litigator
Become A Master Of Business Relationships, And Quickly
Master Your Success
Arnie has simplified many of the complex human emotions into an easy to understand blueprint he calls the XE factor, or energy exchange factor. By focusing on select energy factors, and working to keep each of those factors positive in our day to day situations and relationships, we can quickly turn poor or average relationships into great ones.
Once you begin to apply the XE factor, you'll have a powerful new awareness of your own energy and how you feel as well as how other people are feeling around you. And you'll have the tools to move that energy from a stagnant position, to a higher level that will inspire confidence, trust, positive action, and general feelings of well being in those around you.
Rather than trying to manipulate people, you will have a much keener sense of what it is other people really want. And will then be able to guide them toward getting it. More easily collaborating on your shared interests, and making all your relationships win-win.
In this highly interactive program, participants will learn:
Why exchanging positive energy and avoiding depletion is key to cultivating prolific and lucrative professional relationships.
A set of concrete principles for generating effective working relationships.
Fundamental skills needed to optimize client and coworker communications.

"The 7 Immutable Laws to Change Management in the Law Firm"
Get out of the nest, put your feet on the ground and take action now! How to execute change in the firm, The 7 Immutable Laws of Change Management |
As we wrap up this summit, your head is certainly going to be filled with powerful new strategies and ideas to make your firm and yourself more successful - with better ways to serve your clients, to serve your firm's greater goals, to serve your financial goals, and to serve yourself.
You'll finally have all the tools and knowledge you need to set sail in the direction your heart truly desires.
However, even with all this new knowledge and inspiration…even with all the right tools to build a satisfying and successful career and life in the years ahead…there is still one obstacle that can quickly destroy the future you desire.
What is it?
It's the lack of action.
We've all been there…probably more times than we care to admit. We have these great ideas, with so many great rewards waiting for us. But one thing leads to another, and nothing ends up getting done.
Taking the ideas you've learned at this summit back to work with you can not only be a little intimidating, it can also prove to be a serious challenge to get the people in your firm to accept and get behind the changes you're ready to make.
How To Make These Changes Simple - And How To Get The Momentum You Need To Make Lasting Changes Right Off The Line
It's said that we are now living in a world of accelerating change. The information age is spreading ideas so quickly, that you can be sure many of your competitors will be taking note of the trends you've learned about in the months and years ahead. Your job as a leader shouldn't be to react to these changes once they've already happened, but to create it right here and now.
Gerry Riskin, one of our last presenters, will be revealing how you can not only keep your motivation to implement the strategies you've learned about here, but how to make seemingly complex changes more simple. You'll learn the steps you need to take these ideas and birth them into the new realities of your firm and your life.
Execution - the doing - putting theory into practice is the toughest thing for law firms. Lawyers are cerebral. We enjoy the planning but don't have a clue how to put our foot on the ground and put what we know to work immediately to reach success.
But when you have a clear step-by-step process of proposing, communicating, committing, and sustaining new strategies the likelihood of arriving at your desired destination goes through the roof.
Gerry has helped both large and small firms worldwide implement cutting edge changes that have resulted in happier and wealthier lawyers. His global reputation as an author, management consultant and pioneer in the field of professional firm economics and marketing is well deserved.
After winning two Queen Elizabeth Scholarships, he practiced law from 1973, in 1979 becoming a partner with one hundred-year-old Emery Jamieson and then in 1984 becoming the Managing Partner of Snyder & Company with offices in Canada and Hong Kong. Gerry was consistently one of the top three rainmakers in his firm and quickly began to develop a reputation which led to a demand for his abilities to teach others to do the same.

Presentation #9: Larry Bodine
"A Case History: How to Make a Million Dollars and Love Your Practice"
Case Study: How A Struggling, 20 Year Old Illinois Law Firm Increased Its Revenue By $1 Million In Just One Year Despite Impending Retirement Of Key Rainmakers - Exactly What They Did, Step-By-Step, And How You Can Do It Too |
When people think of things like marketing and salesmanship…most people tend to get a bad taste in their mouth and think back on uncomfortable experiences with used car salesmen, or other pushy and inconsiderate sales people.
Maybe this is why many lawyers hate the thought of actually being one of those "pushy" salesmen. And choose to focus their time on doing their job and serving clients, not on marketing and attracting new ones.
However, in today's increasingly competitive environment, knowing how to attract new clients and keep them coming back for years to come is only becoming more and more important.
The truth of the matter is, taking the approach of a pushy salesman is the exact opposite of what you should be doing. And believe it or not, marketing can actually be an enjoyable part of your daily activities.
Do you like golfing? How about enjoying a meal at a nice restaurant? Then keep reading, because you're going to love the marketing strategies our next speaker, Larry Bodine, has lined up for you.
Not only can you approach marketing in a completely professional and respectful way, but you're going to learn how to make prospective clients eager to choose your firm over the dozens of other competitors…and walk away from the table feeling like you've helped them make an informed decision, not like they've been sold something.
Finally, An Approach To Marketing That Leads Clients To Your Door Instead Of Pushing Them…And Makes Choosing Your Firm Above All Others A "No Brainer"
You are truly a professional. And for clients to trust you with their legal problems and obstacles, it's important that you remain a professional at all times. Do you really think marketing tactics like cold calling or cheesy advertising is going to portray you in the professional light your ideal clients are looking for?
To come off as a true professional you have to respect people. You have to make them feel like you are truly there to serve their best interests. And you have to lead clients toward the decision to hire you, not push them. That's why advertising attempts so often fail: because people feel like they're being pushed into something they're not sure is really right for them.
Larry Bodine has helped a wide range of clients, from 3,000 lawyer global firms to small 5 lawyer boutiques, develop marketing strategies that lawyers can feel good about incorporating into their daily activities. And because of his deep understanding of how your current and potential clients think and make their decisions when it comes to hiring a lawyer, his strategies work extremely well.
If you're ready to quickly position your firm above the competition in your markets, start tapping into profitable new sources of clients, and get the lawyers in your firm excited about marketing (instead of dreading it)…then this is going to be an illuminating presentation.
Here's a quick look at what's going to be covered…
How to create a customized marketing plan around your personal strengths, so you can focus on the activities that will generate the largest amount of revenue for you…and eliminate situations that you may find uncomfortable.
How to include your favorite activities in the prospecting process, and actually create a stronger relationship with current and prospective clients as a result. Would you mind spending a few hours a week on the golf course and attracting clients at the same time?
Side note: This has to be done right if you want to get the best results from this approach, there are a couple ways this can actually backfire and you'll learn exactly how to avoid them.
The secret to cloning top rainmakers in your firm. Simple steps that can be taken so some of that "magic" trickles down to lower level associates, that can quickly turn into a flood of new business.
Powerful marketing techniques that you can delegate to your staff, while you focus on more productive and important tasks.
The most lucrative sources of new leads, and exactly what to do and say to walk away with several new potential clients in less than an hour.
How to quickly and easily gain a prospect's trust at your first meeting, overcome any objections, and close the deal (many lawyers have such a hard time with closing, but once you have my step by step formula closing will be a snap).
One of the most important secrets of top rainmaker selling: How they connect with what client's really want, and why knowing what that is can be your golden ticket to top success in your firm.
How to boost income from existing clients, including a powerful way for getting referrals.
After this presentation, you'll be fully prepped to kick your marketing (and revenue) into high gear…with a complete blueprint of an actual marketing overhaul that generated $1 million in extra revenue over a one year period.
And it's a plan you can actually feel good about implementing. As crazy as it sounds, marketing your skills and pulling in new clients can actually be fun!

Your Career, Your Life, The Success Of Your Firm All Come Down To One Thing - You. But Here's What People Have Really Misunderstood…
The satisfying career, the happy life, and the successful firm are not separate things. There's one thing they all have in common. And that's you.
It's knowing how to juggle and excel at all the different parts of you - and bringing all those parts together at the same time that people start getting lost.
And that's what this summit is really all about.
Because the successful firm won't be nearly as successful if it's members are struggling with their personal lives. The professional with a happy personal life won't be nearly as happy if they aren't pulling in the income and making the difference they want with their careers. And the savvy lawyer won't be able to flourish and help their clients in the best way if their firm isn't building an environment where they can blossom.
We'd like to help you find that perfect balance. And we'd like to help you uncover the excellence in all aspects of your life.
Because you deserve to live a rich and comfortable lifestyle. And you deserve to have time each day to enjoy it. You deserve to have the respect and admiration of your colleagues. And the satisfaction of helping clients find the true solutions to their problems.
You deserve it all. You really do. And it's time you uncovered the paths to find your definition of having it all.
