It’s not pitching, it’s about building a relationship. Always think of it like a marathon as opposed to a sprint.” —  Gary Johnson “As you get more inquiries about your services, you are able to pick and choose who you want to work with and don’t want to work with – what we call our ‘red velvet rope’ policy.” —  Gary Johnson “LinkedIn for Lawyers is purpose-built for lawyers only. And we think it will really make a difference for associates and partners who are just simply too busy for business development.” —  Alay Yajnik      About Gary Johnson: Imagine getting 5X more referrals whether you are an introvert or extrovert…it doesn’t matter.  At J2 Marketing, we coach attorneys on how to build a robust book of business with ideal clients.  There is a lot of confusion in marketing a legal practice…we take the confusion out,  to save attorneys time and money with the most profitable strategies that are tailored to their strengths…instead of to someone else’s.     Connect with Gary Johnson:  Website: https://linkedinforlawyers.net/  Website: j2marketingconsultants.com Email: [email protected]  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/j2marketingconsultants Twitter: twitter.com/j2consultants   Connect with Alay Yajnik:  Website: http://lawyerbusinessadvantage.com/  One Page Strategic Plan: LawFirmSuccessGroup.com Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alayyajnik
