Gonna make this one short and quick. I enjoy a GOOD e-card, and I think they are fine coming from the FIRM. But, if an attorney can’t take the time to sit down and personally write out a card to his or her top clients, those who paid the mortgage, car payments, orthodontist bills, vacations,
I See Happy Lawyers
Last night the Sports Dude and I attended the Los Angeles Lawyers Philharmonic holiday concert and couldn’t help but notice all the smiling and happy lawyers in the room.
Yes, we’ve all heard the negative stories about how there are no jobs for recent law school grads, high suicide rates, and a high
Just Because: It’s time to get in the spirit
I just battled stores, rain and disinterested people to drop off my Girl Scout Troop’s contributions to an Adopt-a-Family program. My parking space got snagged. My hair is frizzing from the rain. I broke a nail. And, apparently, I have not consumed enough caffeine.
Time to get back into the spirit with my favorite Christmas
I am a product placement in my own life
I’m speaking on a webinar next month with Ed Poll and Kevin O’Keefe. I’ll have more details on that once everything is finalized. The topic of social networking and advertising came up, and it got me thinking. Social media isn’t advertising, per se, but it is migrating into an umbrella term for everything we
We are all equals in here
I saw a great movie over the weekend, The King’s Speech. Don’t worry, this isn’t a movie review. You can read some of those here. The movie recounts the true story of King George VI (Elizabeth II’s father) — who suffered from a debilitating stutter — and his speech therapist, Lionel Logue, on
Do Some Good
This post has nothing to do with legal marketing, law firms, lawyers, Facebook, social media or anything else that might be considered “professional.” This post has to do with that which is outside our offices. This post has to do with that which is outside ourselves. Tis the season, I am reminded every time a
Not so quick. The year isn’t up yet!
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’ve got “end-of-year” fever. It’s similar to summer fever, vacation fever, and all the other fevers out there. My thoughts are elsewhere, and not really focused on marketing and business development. But wait … there’s still a whole month left before we ring in the New Year (okay, three weeks until
Sign the Card. Buy the Gift.
It’s that time of year. Should we send a traditional holiday card? Or an electronic card? What type of gift should we give? Should we do a donation to our favorites charity and let our clients know we did it for “them”? From all accounts, clients hire lawyers, not law firms. Yeah, I know the
If You’re Happy and You Blog … Show it!!
Does your firm blog? Does Google know it?? I’ve been traveling and pretty busy, as many of you know, and I’m catching up on different posts and what’s happening in the industry. Now that Mad Men is over for the season, I need to find my inspiration elsewhere. Guest blogger Jon Ivanco‘s post, Dear
We’re All in This Together
I’ve had a busy week. My firm is sponsoring a conference in Chicago on Tuesday. We’re doing an intimate, private client seminar, followed by the Bulls game on Monday night. I’ve had to take care of A LOT of details, big and small.
What I have come to realize this week is that we’re all
