Hello — As far as marketing your efforts is concerned, writing articles and speaking engagements work well for me. These are not sales pitches. They provide just enough content for people to know if they’re interested in what you have to offer and to feel as though they’ve taken away a tool they can use. Make sure your target market is the audience for your talk or article. If you choose this route, make sure you include some type of "call to action" at the end of your article or talk. Otherwise, the time you spent is wasted effort. Best Regards, Denise O’Berry — The Small Business Edge 813.671.5996 Tampa, FL USA Don’t work for your business…make your business work for you!

The old fashion way of knocking on doors. Have your most personable employee go around and visit lawyers. A handshake goes a long way. Have him/her practice with you (or if you’re going to do it, you should practice with someone that will give you honest feedback [a.k.a. your boss ... or if you're the boss, a consultant]). Try to talk to as many lawyers as possible. Ask to attend a partner meeting. Once you or one of your employees has shook hands with a lawyer, send all direct mail to that person and try to make it personable. A handwritten post-it note slapped on the cover letter at least. In that note, show that you’ve kept track of them. Make a comment about some court case they just wrapped up. Offer to give a lecture at local lawyer conferences. Have brochures to hand out to attendees as they enter. The brochure can be single-sheet outline of your lecture on one side and a pitch for your business on the other side. Hand out business cards at these events as if the success or failure of your business depended on it. And make sure that business card is informative so next time they look at it, they’ll know what you’re selling. Scott T. Jensen

Relationship building is a slow and tedious process but one that cannot be avoided if you want to succeed in your field of choice. I can help you set up and operate a such a system.
