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.
