Soon You’ll Be Getting Clients!
The most difficult challenge a lawyer faces is figuring out how to get clients. Particularly if you’re a young lawyer. It can feel like there is a secret no one is telling when other lawyers have lots of clients with what looks like a minimum of work.
Merrilyn Astin Tarlton has been coaching lawyers to unlock those secrets for over 30 years. In her new book “Getting Clients,” she brings extensive knowledge and a warm sense of humor to walk you through what you need to be doing — and when you need to be doing it — to become the lawyer you have always wanted to be, doing the type of work you have always wanted to do.
With “Getting Clients” as your guide, you will:
- Develop your own easy marketing plan.
- Learn simple ways to remain motivated and on purpose.
- Build and nurture your own unique network.
- Apply the best marketing tactics for your target market.
- Reap the rewards of your smart business development activities.
