Pre-Launch Party for My New Book, “The Ambitious Attorney”
Join us June 4th for pizza and a party to launch the publication of my new book this summer, “The Ambitious Attorney: Your Guide to Doubling or Even Tripling Your Book of Business.” Copies of the book will be available for purchase, and I will be signing books as well. Pizza will be provided for attendees.
“The Ambitious Attorney” is my third book, a collection of insights and proven methods for attorneys to increase their business gathered from more than 15 years of experience coaching countless lawyers. In the book, I explain dependable and simple tactics for making networking events worthwhile; how attorneys can increase their client list without sales tricks; how new, young attorneys can find a foothold in an often crowded marketplace; and much, much more.
While my first book focused on a “sales-free selling” process and my second on effective networking, this new book brings it all together to help any attorney succeed. I know you will get tremendous value from reading it and applying the content in your law practice.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event, or attendees can pre-purchase books for 50% off through the Fretzin website.
