There are ways to approach clients for recommendations or testimonials that aren’t pushy or overly promotional. The most important thing is to be genuine. If you truly believe that…
Earlier this year I was invited to join a Zoom meeting with estate planning attorneys from all across the United States to talk about how they could use LinkedIn better.

The conference takes place over two days, and you can attend all or part of the conference for only $25, the proceeds of which will go to three charities helping those affected by COVID-19. The two-day agenda includes not only educational sessions…

In my last video, I introduced the idea of setting goals for your LinkedIn use. Today I want to give you an example to show you what that might look like. Let’s say your goal for this year is to expand your practice to represent more small businesses with their legal needs. LinkedIn can help you accomplish that in a number of ways. You can search for, and join, groups containing small business owners –…
