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 (@ceolawyer), founder of a personal injury law firm based in Georgia.
Ali is an impressive entrepreneur who started his personal injury law firm from the trunk of his car with no website and made $2-million in revenue the first year by simply using his cell phone and free social media to market his firm. Now, Ali’s firm is on track to make $15 million in revenue this year.
Ali has cracked the code when it comes to generating new clients through social media. Currently, he has more than 500,000 followers on social platforms by using his unique strategy.
“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
