    · The inextricable link between mindset, lifestyle, and marketing successfully as a business owner
    ·  The indispensable value of social media as a marketing tool (and why you do not need to reinvent the wheel!)

    Episode 380 - A Speakeasy Christmas Carol | An Important Legal Marketing Lesson From Ebenezer Scrooge

    Episode 380 - A Speakeasy Christmas Carol | An Important Legal Marketing Lesson From Ebenezer Scrooge

    Christmas is just around the corner, and with this beautiful season comes the ability to reflect. How are we treating others around us? How can our businesses better serve our clients? For attorneys, this presents a valuable opportunity to observe their legal practice at a deeper level – giving their firm a chance to grow into the best version of itself…
    This episode follows the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, Esquire, a cold-hearted lawyer who was known far and wide for his contemptuous treatment of clients. He hated his legal practice and his clients. Therefore he refused to market his firm or invest in his personal brand. 
    The potential clients in town with complex and lucrative cases avoided Mr. Scrooge’s office at all costs. Instead, they sought out the attorneys who promoted themselves as experts – leaving Scrooge with the scraps.
    One fateful Christmas night, Ebenezer Scrooge learned an important lesson that changed everything. The changes he made as a result greatly improved the reputation and productivity of his firm. 
    What wisdom can you gain from Mr. Scrooge’s story? How can you apply it to your own legal practice? Listen now to see for yourself!
