Renegade Lawyer Marketing (Audio Book) – Chapter 12: What Would Your Community Lose If You Closed Your Doors?

This is Chapter 12 of the free audio edition of Renegade Lawyer Marketing (Second Edition)—only on the Renegade Lawyer Podcast.

In this chapter, Ben Glass breaks down the real meaning of a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)—and why most law firm taglines completely miss the point.

Forget clichés like “aggressive representation” or “we fight for you.” Your USP isn’t a slogan. It’s the reason someone chooses your firm over every other option, including doing nothing at all.

You’ll learn:

• What your real USP is (and why it’s probably not what you think)
• How Coors Beer can teach you a killer marketing lesson
• Why “we’ll make it drop-dead simple” is more powerful than “we’ll win big”
• How to explain your value in a way that matters to real clients
• Why your internal culture is just as important as your marketing

What Makes The GLM Tribe Special?

In short, we are the only organization within the "business builder for lawyers" space that is led by two practicing lawyers.

One thing we're sure you've noticed is that despite the variety of options within our space, no one else is mixing
the actual practice of law with business building in the way that we are.

There are no other organizations who understand the highs and lows of running a small law firm and are engaged in talking to real clients. That is what sets GLM apart from every other organization, and it is why we have had loyal members that have been with us for two-decades.
