Jim Ries
Happy Autumn! I hope you all had a great summer and enjoyed some time off to recharge.
A lot has changed since our last newsletter, including the return of in-person GGI conferences. I really enjoyed seeing everyone in person again at the GGI European Regional Conference in Limassol, Cyprus, and the GGI North American Regional Conference in Washington, DC, earlier this year. And of course, I'm looking forward to our next conferences.
For this newsletter, I share my tips on how to use the FORD method to secure more clients. The FORD method is a communication tool that can be used across organisations and industries to improve your relationships and land more clients.
Our contributors wrote about a variety of topics from timely marketing tips to commentary on the current economic climate. For example, Eghosa Oyemwense (Regent Assay, UK) discusses the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in marketing, especially in this digital age. Diane Walsh (Prager Metis International LLC, USA) explains how to engage your whole firm to grow your social media presence. George Taveras (Guzmán Ariza, Attorneys at Law, Dominican Republic) explains the value of sending newsletters to our clients, a practice I have upheld for years now as a great benefit.
I would like to thank all our contributors for taking the time to share their expertise with us. If you have any questions, please reach out to the contributor directly.
