A few years ago, I was asked the question, “What is relationship marketing, and where do you start when you want to build your business?” Since we’re in a relationship business [spoiler alert], I’d hope that most lawyers reading this would be comfortable with the idea of engaging in relationship marketing, and how to translate that into business for your practice. But in case you’re not (or in case you want to put a more…

Join us for this week’s rainmaking recommendation from trainer and coach, Jaimie Field. *** You’ve spoken to a potential client, and they seem to like you. Or maybe, you’ve sent out an RFP and been chosen to discuss your proposal with the potential client(s) who sent out the offer. Or maybe you’ve gotten a tentative yes to work with someone you consider an ideal client. Or maybe, you’ve sent out a resume to work…

“I just can’t do one more online meeting. “ “You can’t get business that way.”  “My clients need me more.”  Have you ever said, or thought, any of these things about a virtual event or while involved in a conference organization during the pandemic? It’s not the first time I’ve heard them, which is why they merit a mention here. When you say these things out loud or to yourself, it’s likely that your first…

Join us for this week’s rainmaking recommendation from trainer and coach, Jaimie Field. *** It’s the first day of September. Let me repeat that in case you missed it –  IT. IS. THE. FIRST. DAY. OF. SEPTEMBER! I don’t know about you, but this year seems to be flying by faster than most.  I am not sure if it is the fact that we are still dealing with a pandemic or if, as you…

If you’ve been following along here at Zen for any length of time (or even just the last few weeks), then you’ll know that I love September and the promise of a fresh start that it brings (also because the fall is my favorite season). A LOT of us have been feeling bogged down lately – by the pandemic, endless Zoom calls, heat and humidity, worldwide unrest, the list goes on. There is a lot…

In just over a week, it will be September 1st. As I mentioned last week, I like to think of September as a brand new start, much like the school year used to be.
