Training/Retreat References

Ross Fishman spoke at our recent all-attorney retreat. Our lawyers gave his presentations the highest ratings. Ross delivers substantive information in a unique and very entertaining way that enables attorneys to take what they've learned and immediately employ it to help them develop more business. From our senior partners to our junior associates, everyone enjoyed and benefited from the program. I highly recommend Ross.

Ross was the highlight of our firm retreat. In his entertaining, but low-key style, he gave us solid, practical marketing and business-development principles that can be used by experienced senior partners as well as the most junior associates.

Ross Fishman spoke at my firm's retreat to rousing applause. If you are looking for a mind-opening speaker who will effectively communicate the simple keys to legal marketing then do yourself a huge favor and hire Ross Fishman. He is clearly the 'guru' of the field. But what I liked about him most is that he's a genuinely open and honest person. He obviously loves what he does for a living, and I feel very fortunate to have had a chance to get to know him personally, as well as professionally.

Ross Fishman is the best of the best. He conducted marketing training programs for our partners. The younger partners came away feeling motivated and eager to start marketing, while our senior partners felt a new sense of how to more effectively communicate with their clients. Our Marketing Partner was so pleased, she allowed me to retain Ross as an advisor and mentor for a year!

Ross covered in four hours what it took me 40 years to learn. And it was lots of fun too -- the firm came away energized, excited and ready to develop business.

Ross really "wowed" me. He brings an entertaining, yet educational angle to any speaking engagement.
Ronald A. Ballecer MBA, McCormick Barstow LLP, Fresno, CA

I have watched Ross deliver many different presentations over the years and continue to be impressed each and every time. At the National LMA conferences Ross always provides practical information I can put into action immediately. I was most impressed the time Ross stepped up to replace a no-show presenter -- not only did he pull a rabbit out of the hat, he gave one of the best and most useful presentations of the entire three-day conference. I’ll attend any session in which I see Ross’ name listed.
It was also my pleasure to recommend Ross as the first speaker for the fledgling Virginia Bar Association Marketing Committee. Not only was our committee fortunate enough to have him speak, it was the first time that the Virginia Bar Association paid for a speaker, which spoke volumes about the caliber of Ross’ presentations. It was gratifying to see so many of the attorneys excitedly engage in the question-and-answer period after. Simply put, Ross made the committee look good and raised the bar on what was expected of future marketing sessions.
Ross is one of the truly genuine articles when it comes to speaking, coaching, training and leading attorneys and the legal marketers to a higher level of marketing consciousness.
Amy Smith-Pike, Marketing Director, DurretteBradshaw, Richmond, VA

Ross did the impossible! At our retreat he got every partner to participate and create a vision for the firm as a whole. Ross motivated the partners to be proactive rather than reactive to inevitable changes in the practice of law. We worked as a team to develop a concept of the firm and a method to communicate our concept to our current and prospective clients. From "buy in" to "execution," Ross kept the partners focused every step of the way. He remains our prime resource for strategic planning and marketing.
Dick Horwood, Managing Partner, Horwood Marcus & Berk, Chicago

Ross really gets it. His presentations are on-target, brutally honest, funny, and wonderfully revealing.
