- 51:46 Edwena calls in from the North Fort Worth area. She’s been visiting attorney offices and keeps running into the legal assistant and receptionist. She is leaving brochures and trying to get through. What else can she do? Bring them REFERRALS. Sit down and create a co-branded checklist that you can market for them, since most attorneys can’t market the same way realtors can (see more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XONaNvF65yE&t=2192s)
