I think Miss Burrows makes some good points. You know how busy lawyers and their assistants are - they want brief and they also want to know what's in it for them.Keethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10391755322320140235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809582401560791905.post-52509729474120156902008-12-02T06:43:00.000-08:002008-12-02T06:43:00.000-08:00I"m baaaack !!!I agree with the changes from missb...I"m baaaack !!!<BR/><BR/>I agree with the changes from missburrows; remeber to focus on the WIFIM - what's in it for me - from the attorney perspective.I'd also hand deliver these things and get in tight with the admins/secretaries. They probably have as much decision power in this as the attorneys.Margyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413081283537291219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809582401560791905.post-75503284832647708912008-12-01T22:06:00.000-08:002008-12-01T22:06:00.000-08:00Hey Shana-1) You need to take the quotation marks ...Hey Shana-<BR/><BR/>1) You need to take the quotation marks off around green, or else it means the opposite.<BR/><BR/>(See http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/ for more info)<BR/><BR/>2) There is too much to read. 5 bullet points are plenty.<BR/><BR/>I would get rid of: <BR/><BR/>1a)My efforts at running a sustainable practice include: (and just get right to the point).<BR/><BR/>1b)Working locally to avoid commuting. (This needs to be about what you can do for them, not what they are doing for you.)<BR/><BR/>1c)Ecofriendly marketing materials (you state that at the bottom with the recycled sign).<BR/><BR/>1d)In house recycling (unless this helps them someway, such as you recycle their stuff for them).<BR/><BR/>I agree with chaca about a web-site, and brightside's about stating your years of experience. You also might want to add an, "Call me so I can tell you how!" sort of thing at the bottom.<BR/><BR/><BR/>(I hope this isn't too much info. Doing these sort of things drive one crazy!)Lia Hollanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245867003837752765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809582401560791905.post-54912360401304498182008-12-01T20:38:00.000-08:002008-12-01T20:38:00.000-08:00I helped my husband start his law practice by send...I helped my husband start his law practice by sending things like this out repeatedly. It will work over time. I would suggest indicating the number of years you have been certified - lawyers love experience. I do think that lawyers can be very green - they are also hounds for thick files.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809582401560791905.post-3614413881820498092008-12-01T16:28:00.000-08:002008-12-01T16:28:00.000-08:00I LOVE this!!

I know two just down the street from you who would want to see you come in person and "dazzle" them.

List all your clients, have your resume up there, rates, etc.<BR/><BR/>And I don't get how lawyers wouldn't care about the environment - people of all professions care about the environment.chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597283400851387772noreply@blogger.com
