In this episode, Steve Fretzin, Erik Olson, Jocelyn Brumbaugh, Jared Correia, and Gyi Tsakalakis discuss:

The first step lawyers and law firms need to do before marketing themselves.
Positioning yourself as uniquely qualified to help your client.
Perspective client avatars and referral partners.
Pros and cons of specializing and finding your niche.

Key Takeaways:

Look at what you are already doing well now and capitalize on that first.
Bring in personal differentiation points in your marketing strategy to stand out from the crowd.
Positioning is what you want to be known for, it does not necessarily cover all that you do.
AI can be a tool, but there still needs to be a human component both before and after using the technology.

"AI is a remarkable tool as a supportive assistive tool. I think about it just like we use Grammarly or a bunch of other stuff to help us write and publish and do research, and it is absolutely remarkable in those contexts. So short answer, yes, use it - just learn about it and learn how you can actually use it both effectively and ethically." — Gyi Tsakalakis
