Whether personal or professional, when we enter conversations with enthusiasm and a mentality of service or openness, we invite in positive interactions that help everyone involved.
It was my absolute pleasure to do that with Ed Lovatt of Passle as they had me on their podcast recently as I shared how building relationships and establishing meaningful connections, both with clients and attorneys, is a fundamental facet of a legal marketing and business development role.
