Today, we’re talking about how to - and I know you don’t like this word - sell without being salesy as a lawyer or other type of professional. What do we mean by that? Profile building, initial consults, referrals and introductions.
This conversation explores various stages of the sales process in legal and other professional services, including:

• How professionals can self-promote with ease, without coming across as bragging.
• How to get comfortable asking for business from a prospective client.
• How to ask for introductions and referrals from your network, without detracting from nurturing the relationship.
• How to set initial consultations up for success, for yourself and your team.
• How to close a sale.

In this episode, we share stories and ideas from our own experiences of supporting lawyers and other professionals through this process and how that has evolved over the years.

Some aspect of selling is going to be part of your job for the remainder of your professional career. Getting comfortable with this can be a game-changer!
