In this live Web program, Michael G. Cummings and I will explain the essential components of effective business development. In addition, the program will show real-life case studies of how newer attorneys have successfully executed each step. Participants will apply these best practices and start to develop their own personal plan, adapting these proven methods to their own personal style, culture and areas of practice. Successful steps and illustrative case studies include: 

  • Step 1: Find Your Niche
    Marketing Case Study 1: Targeting Human Resource Directors at Mid-Sized Firms

Register today. Fee: $300. Invite your management and marketing committees, income partners, associates and as many people as you wish to attend. Simply project the program on a screen and put the telephone connection on a speakerphone.

Many young attorneys incorrectly believe they can wait to build these skills until they become a partner. Our strong advice is to build these skills now — so that you start bringing in business while an associate and position yourself to be a rainmaker for long term success.

This is some great advice. I have talked to so many lawyers and marketers that work in the legal community. It is always interesting to hear about lawyers who don't know how to get new clients on their own. If they only had the marketing background and/or mindset they needed, they would know the secrets to branding and creating a unique value proposition.
