SUMMARY:2018 Vegas CLE
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time again!  We’re heading to Las Vegas for a CLE conference.  I’ve presented for several years at this great event.  We’ll be there June 14th-15th. \nThis year my presentation is: \nAmplifying Your Brand\, Taking Advantage of Podcasts and Radio. \n“Marketing a law practice has evolved from phone book ads and television\, to websites and online directories\, and in recent years to social media and video.  Now there are two additional ways you should consider promoting your practice to your market.\n\nPodcasts and radio shows offer the unique advantage of long-form communication on various topics.  Both can be integrated into existing marketing channels such as websites and social media properties.\n\nBusiness Consultant\, Jim Ray\, will provide a detailed explanation of how and why an attorney should consider adding these tools to a legal marketing campaign.  Jim will walk you through his personal experience launching 2 business podcasts and a local talk radio show\, which streams nationally each week.\n\nIf you’re looking for another way to break through the competitive noise and promote your brand in the marketplace\, join Jim Ray\, MBA\, on Friday\, June 16th for an innovative approach to marketing your practice.”

SUMMARY:Adopting a Blue Ocean Strategy for New Business Development
DESCRIPTION:I’m proud to announce that I’ll be presenting another CLE seminar for the Louisville Bar Association. Adopting a Blue Ocean Strategy for New Business Development will provide insights into ways to generate incremental clients and markets. \n\nThis presentation helps attorneys and law firms to identify and evaluate new revenue opportunities. The “blue ocean strategy” concept has been used for years to refine existing client markets\, define additional market opportunities and to take direct steps to evaluate and implement new business initiatives. \nThe goal is to help legal professionals to understand tactics and techniques that will focus their efforts.  Blue ocean strategies can be used by senior partners and members of boutique firms to uncover ways to effectively grow their client bases. \nAs an MBA and former director of a medical malpractice litigation firm\, I’ve used this concept to help firms better understand how to define markets\, evaluate their profitability and implement a plan to pursue the viable markets. \n\n  \n
