- 0:10SPEAKER_00: I forget the hotel name.
- 0:11SPEAKER_00: But if you go to,
- 0:12SPEAKER_00: I think, GLMSummit.com, you'll be able to find some information about the event.

- 0:22SPEAKER_00: And the presentation's due tomorrow.
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: And I'm still finalizing my outline.

- 0:29SPEAKER_00: And then in December and January, I'll be speaking at the PILMA roundtables.
- 0:36SPEAKER_00: And if you're a member of PILMA, you can join up at the roundtables.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: I'll be talking about I don't quite know what in December right now.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: I think the topic's been picked out for me.
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: And then in January,
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: I'll be talking about building personal brands for attorneys,
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: because in my experience working with these personal injury firms and trying
- 0:56SPEAKER_00: to help them build up their SEO,
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: their online presence,
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: personal branding plays a huge part in that and what we're doing.
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: And also in January,
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: I'll be speaking at the AI for PI Expo and exploring use cases for how
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: to leverage AI to get more referral,
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: inbound attorney referrals and word of mouth referrals for your law firm.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: And so I'll be speaking in Orlando at that event then.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: I'm really excited and looking forward to it.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: Today, we're actually talking about building marketing plans for law firms.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: And this one is mainly for the marketing directors because I really hear
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: of lawyers being called upon to make their own marketing plans.
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: But it would be useful to know like what goes into a marketing plan.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: What are you trying to make?
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: What do you need?
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: And I wanted to go through some of my talking points that I have here
- 2:01SPEAKER_00: about building marketing plans for law firms and then also show you guys an AI agent
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: that I have set up that builds marketing plans for me.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: And I want to show you what that agent needs and what any agent needs to build
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: a marketing plan that's actually going to be of value to you That's going
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: to give you good guidance,
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: a good roadmap on how to move forward and how to organize that information in
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: a one sheet roadmap that you can give to the leadership team at your law firm.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to take you through that AI agent and talk
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: about how you can set up your own,
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: what sort of source documentation you'll need, and then we'll wrap up for the day.
- 2:48SPEAKER_00: So for the marketing plan, like what is a marketing plan?
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: A lot of people feel like they know this because my common experience working
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: with law firms is that, hold on, I saw a Slack notification.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: I just want to make sure there's no issue with the, okay, that's not me.
- 3:05SPEAKER_00: So
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: one of the things I hear quite frequently from law firm owners is,
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: hey, what's the marketing plan?
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Now, naturally at Sharp Cookie, we build marketing plans for our clients.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: It's usually one of the first things we do once we have enough information.
- 3:25SPEAKER_00: And those are more marketing roadmaps.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: And I'll talk about that and how we build those and what are in those in here in
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: a little bit and looking at the agent.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: But even when I'll create a roadmap,
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: periodically,
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: whenever you're talking to an attorney about a marketing opportunity,
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: One of the things they'll request is the marketing plan for that opportunity.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: And at this point,
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: I have a lot of marketing plans that are already built,
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: so I don't necessarily have to think about it each time.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: I can go back and get a marketing plan for a particular campaign we've made for
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: an old client or a current client,
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: recycle it and update it and make the needed specifications for the law firm
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: that we're going to use it for.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: And then we're off to the races.
