Thanks for the Help!

There when I needed you.

Scott,

 

Thank you for all your help and advice. Your positive attitude help me through a tough time when my business was getting started and now that advice has paid off with an ever growing book of business for my agency despite the rocky start. Your counsel inspired me to look to the future and not to dwell on the earlier mistake but rather to learn from them and move toward a worthwhile goal. I would not sign another contract or agreement without checking with you first.

 

I would highly recommend Barratt Legal Services if you find yourself in need of advice and/or counsel. Scott is a friend, a business colleague, as well as a client.  He provides personal service to each of his clients by meeting them in the privacy and convenience of their own home. If you have concerns I would suggest you trust Scott to be your problem solver.

I Found the secret to an endless streanm of referrals

Want to know a

my secret?

Dear friends and clients,

 

Have you ever wanted to escape the rat race of day to day, week to week, month to -month existence? The passage to time without your special brand of satisfying success is a burden that can only be lifted by you.

 

The realization of my mortality 1965 jump started an otherwise "slow" start toward my goals. I applied what I had to the task and received a Law degree in 1974. That was the easy part. Law school relates to practicing law like reading about batting relates to actual batting facing a pitch who is 90 ft. away on a hill and is throwing the small white ball at 90+mph.

 

The business aspect of solving other people's problems presented the bigger challenge. Faced with the coming of lawyer advertizing I needed to rework the path to my goals. In fact most people do not pick their personal lawyer form an advertisement. Rather, they ask their friends, relatives and co-workers for recommendations.

 

Networking was my choice for building a practice that would create a continuing source of referrals without the traditional advertizing model of "hear/see your ad 29 times" to make an impression on a possible client.

 

I join a group called Indianapolis Business Connection and a 2nd group called "The Network" (Now Business Network International). These were the beginnings of the IBC/BNI chapter her in Indianapolis. Fast forward Twenty plus years and PPS has 100's of sales people (no cost to the practice aka "givers gain") and is still growing.

 

What is this "givers gain"? BNI was the brain child of Ivan Misner (link). The concept goes back to the very beginning of humankind. We have all been told you "reap what you sow" or your "rewards in life are in portion to your contribution" or....

 

Interesting?

 

PPS is well connected to trusted members who can help. (NEW PROBLEM link hewre)
