In our current podcast series, I interview the owners of 4 very different law firms and we dive deep into their marketing.
Today’s episode is the second of that series. I interview Ali Awad, of CEO Lawyer, based in Georgia.
Ali is one impressive entrepreneur. He started his personal injury law firm from the trunk of his car, with no website and made his first $2 million in revenue his first year using his phone and free social media to market his firm.
Now, Ali’s firm is on track to generate $15 million in revenue this year.
In perhaps one of the more “boring” niches that exists (Ali’s words, not ours), Ali has cracked the code when it comes to generating new clients through social media. He’s currently amassed over 500,000 followers on social platforms using his strategy.
Listen closely to this episode and learn from a master marketer.
“There are hundreds of thousands of other lawyers that do the exact same thing that I do. The difference is in how I change or advertise or market my own service. It evolves. It’s a moving target.” – Ali Awad
