Here's what lawyers had to say about our last conference:

Here's what folks had to say about this conference.

Dear Ben,
As we are on break during our conference, I wanted to write this note of gratitude. First, the conference has been great. I had received the ultimate Toolkit about a month before coming here and it was jam-packed with great marketing information - really a marketing system so different. I've read through it several times and started to get a handle on how I was going to implement the system in my practice. I even thought about not coming to the conference and asking for a refund because I thought I would just learn about the same stuff. I'm so glad I came. It has not been a repeat of information at all. I can honestly say it's been the best program I've been to in my professional career (my whole life really). But beyond just providing the how-to of the marketing program, you've opened me up to a greater realization which is the mindset that the "extraordinary people" have. Having the marketing system is a great tool - but combining it with the realization that there are no limits and the motivation to be one of those extraordinary people is going to create unbelievable results.

This was all brought home for me while listening to one of your most powerful speakers - your wife Sandi. Please tell her that while she may not fancy herself a professional speaker, I know everyone in our room was deeply touched to hear about her and your work with Love Without Boundaries. I truly believe your statement that "you are the average of the 5 people you hang out with the most." So just to be in the presence of you, your speakers, and all the others who attended was life changing in itself.

I expected to get some nuggets of wisdom from the conference (that's what I usually take home from most others). What I did not expect is to be "thanking you" for the opportunity to be at something that I paid to attend. It really has been life-altering, both professionally and personally. Thank you.

Thanks for a great conference. We received a long list of practical tips which we will be implementing immediately. We'll be back next year to show off our progress. See you then!

The question is not whether this seminar will provide you with enough ideas to make it worthwhile. That is a certainty. The question that you will be faced with is how many ideas you will implement and just how much to change your practice.
The information shared has the potential to revolutionize your practice of law, and more.

It is hard to imagine how the June 2008 conference could include anything new and significantly different from the powerful, practice changing ideas and methods given in the previous conferences. But Ben has done it again!

The June 2008 conference opened my eyes to the power of internet video and the need for urgency in getting my videos up on the internet.
Based upon the information I learned at the June 2008 conference, I am determined to improve all of my systems and put them in writing so my office will operate efficiently when I am not in the office.

I am personally aware of the power of the Shock & Awe package, as I progressed from the initial mailings as a skeptic to feeling blessed I attended the seminar.
I'm looking forward to implementing the things I have learned and changing the success of my practice and achieving some life goals I have set.

This is a well-run, engaging and entertaining conference. It delivered many, many practice marketing, development and management ideas, as well as, most importantly, specific steps and procedures to utilize and implement them. It has earned my highest recommendation.

Ben- My head is about to explode from the incredibly valuable strategies, tools and techniques for effective marketing. This program has profoundly rocked my world. You have brought together an amazing assortment of thinkers and executers. I cannot wait to get back to my office and begin my new approaches to marketing. Your generosity of spirit in sharing your successful strategies is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ben, thanks for inviting me to your great seminar. I now have a detailed list of action items that I'm confident, if I take action on them, will yield great results in the future. The presentations and information were high quality and top notch. Thanks again for putting it together and providing the motivation for us to implement it. Best regards.

Ben's seminar was eye-opening for me. The seminar is full of specific instructions on how to implement a unique, creative marketing plan. In my view, the only risk would be to miss this conference. I've spent $3,000 this weekend and it has been worth every penny. The web marketing, book publishing and newsletters, with easy to use vendors and tools to implement them, were worth the price of admission. I wholeheartedly recommend this seminar and I plan to come back next year.

I have been a member since the beginning. My income has gone up well over 100%. My marketing funnel has grown with a consistent herd of new clients.
The monthly Mastermind CDs motivate me with new ideas on a regular basis. I have walked away from the June conference with over 85 individual ideas. I plan to implement at least 35 within the next 90 days.

Another outstanding conference! I learned more about marketing my practice, improving my efficiency, and how to make my practice more profitable in these two days than I did in my first 19 years of practice. The speakers were fantastic and networking with other attendees was invaluable. I am counting the days to the next conference.

Most Lawyers are bad businessmen. As a result, we let our clients, our practice and "the process" take control of our lives. The ideas and tools you presented give us ammunition to change that - if we take action.
It is really hard to take a step back and look at how you can change things in a big-picture way. I am now asking new questions about what I want from my practice and how I am going to get it. Thanks!

I originally ordered the Great Legal Marketing material almost two years ago and have been a Coaching member for one year. This gave me all of the information I needed to take action and transform my practice and personal life. However, I still did not take action until after I attended the SuperConference. In attending the SuperConference, I got the motivation I needed to actually take action. I also learned a lot of additional information that has made the implementation of my marketing plan that much easier. Thank you for the motivation, thank you for the information, thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet other great people to bounce ideas off of; Thank you, Ben Glass.

Ben - I thoroughly enjoyed the GLM Seminar. It was everything you said it was and more. I initially balked at attending the Conference because of the price. Normal CLE classes don't cost this much. But this is NOT your normal CLE. It is a practice-changing conference that I cannot wait to implement and utilize.
Tomorrow I will be up at 6:00 putting your ideas to work. Thank you.

I am at the end of my first Mastermind meeting and SuperConference and it is bittersweet. I can't wait to get back to my practice to implement the ideas and marketing strategies that I learned this weekend.
On the other hand, I am sad to leave the many wonderful people that I have met here. Everyone you meet is excited and positive. There is so much positive energy, you can't help getting caught up in it. Looking over my notes, I have at least 75 great ideas that I can implement into my criminal defense practice. Thanks, Ben!

This was my first SuperConference. Ben, you gotta do a better job warning first timers like me that you deliver so much relevant, usable, profit-making ideas that my brain is exploding! The vendors and speakers were fantastic and directly relevant to the concepts and marketing strategies you teach. Best of all were the people that came to the conference. It's great to meet and interact with like-minded people. Thanks for a super SuperConference!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What an eye-opener! I am so anxious to get back to my office to begin implementing a comprehensive marketing program based upon your program.
I am also anxious to put into place office personnel and Mastermind systems that you have advised and encouraged. I thank you for providing so many useful tools.
I also look forward to practicing the communication skills that David Frees talked about.

This was, without a doubt, the very best information I have ever heard or seen on marketing my law practice. I now know the missing link for competing against the big law firms. I am so excited about putting what I learned into place in my practice. There is no doubt in my mind that my income will at least double before I attend the SuperConference in 2009!

Thank you for a great seminar. The cost of the seminar is easily offset by the benefits received from each speaker.
The speakers are great. The information and services provided are unique, but intuitive. I will implement almost all of them in one way or another.

I started with this event almost three years ago in a small conference room in New Jersey. I remember calling Ben and asking him, "Ben, be honest with me. This is a lot of money. Is this going to be one big infomercial or am I really going to get something out of it?" Ben replied, "Neal, I'm not going to kid you. We all are going to try to sell something, but I promise you that you will leave the event with a ton of useful stuff." He was true to his word. I have looked forward to these events every year, as it now only invigorates me in an occupation where burning out is commonplace, but it also provides me with a tremendous amount of useful and valuable information. Thanks, Ben!

This was one great conference! I get to hang out with positive people. It was good to see professionals so enthusiastic about their goals and wanting to improve their practices. The lectures on increasing your presence on the web alone were worth the price of admission. Also, Dave Frees' lecture on communication is a must for any professional who wants to increase their sales. I left the SuperConference with an action plan that I can take back home and implement immediately. This plan will increase my income and allow me to work less. This conference is a must!

As a podiatrist, I came to the GLM seminar to help me think completely out of the box. I am now so excited about increasing the technology marketing of our practice and adding video, more blogging as well as capturing more-detailed demographic information of my patients. This seminar cemented my belief that all service-oriented businesses are the same and group collaboration is the best recipe for success!!

This marketing meeting was not about making us better lawyers; it was about making us, or actually letting us, be better people. As lawyers, we try to imitate the lawyers who exemplify what it is to be a lawyer. We really need to allow ourselves to be people.
We learned how to address the needs of our prospective clients. We learned how to give them the information they needed to make the best decision about their legal needs. We learned how to let them decide to hire us.

I have attended marketing conferences for approximately 8 years, twice per year. This was by far the most informative, practical, and innovative program I have attended. The speakers were exceptional and I look forward to working with many of them. With their help, I intend to implement many of their cutting-edge programs. I am looking forward to attending the next conference. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wishes to grow his or her practice.

In the SuperConference, Ben does what Ben does best- he forces lawyers to honestly self-analyze their marketing practices. He and his speakers help "empty the bucket" of bad practices, but then re-fills, to overflowing, the bucket with honest-to-goodness, you-can-do-it-now strategies. He also provides access to vendors to assist in immediate enactment and fulfillment of the strategies suggested. If you don't come away with at least a dozen new strategies and implementation tools, you simply weren't paying attention!

Ben, thanks for putting on the 2008 SuperConference. The conference was packed with many great marketing ideas that expand upon the materials in your Toolkit. It is overwhelming! The conference is also practical with attending vendors who get it! Thanks for your time and effort. I can't wait 'till next year to report my success.

The conference was great. The most important thing I will take away is to re-prioritize my business so I work "on my business" rather than "in my business;" have my business support my lifestyle, rather than my lifestyle support my business.

The key to this is to put systems in place. While I am estate planning attorney, rather than a P.I. attorney, the marketing principals and procedures are the same. My three books will be done in two weeks. The website in two weeks (thanks to Tom Foster) and the data management will not be far behind. Thanks and I will keep you updated on our progress.

If you want your practice to succeed based on the terms you define, whether that means more money, more cases or a more enjoyable career, you MUST attend a GLM seminar. Trust me - I have done it. GLM has revolutionized my practice, my career and my enjoyment as a lawyer.

Lots of great resources - many of which will be worth the price of the conference.

Ben assembled the finest collection of experts in marketing, communication and motivation to teach me to become the best lawyer and best person/ husband/ father I can learn to be and to inspire and compel me to implement the valuable strategies I learned, and to do so in short order. Thank you for making a huge difference in my life and helping me make a difference in the lives of my family, my staff and my clients.

I attended the 2008 GLM SuperConference and can say that, without a doubt, it was worth my time and investment. Just the Resource Directory alone is invaluable. If someone would implement half of what they learn, it will dramatically change your practice and how you can effectively take your practice to another level.

I attended the 2008 SuperConference and can say, without hesitation, that of all the time and money I've put into improving my practice, this was the most well-spent. What impressed me most is that it's not strictly about marketing: you also learn a lot about management, communication, and finding the right tools to run your business more effectively. Overall, this conference exceeded my expectations and I'd recommend it to anyone, regardless of the type of business they own.

The 2008 SuperConference was absolutely the most informative legal marketing program I have ever attended - from internet marketing, to how linguistics affect your marketing; from informational marking to cutting-edge technical tools - all were subjects taught by incredible experts.
If I only had one marketing program that I could ever attend, it would be the next Ben Glass Great Legal Marketing SuperConference.

Ben, thanks for putting this conference together again. In particular, Dave Frees, Chris & Mischelle Davis, Tom Foster and you were inspiring and thought provoking. My partners and I leave here motivated to improve the content of our web site, begin utilizing videos, both in marketing and training, and have set concrete goals for improving or conversion rates and increasing our return on investment.

While it is not an insignificant undertaking to bring your people to this conference, we know from past experiences that it is a worthwhile investment in the end, financially. We are excited to watch the growth in our business, which is the inevitable result from implementing the techniques taught this weekend.

I highly recommend the Great Legal Marketing seminar, as well as the GLM program. I practice in personal injury and am a solo practitioner. I spend so much time on things other than marketing that GLM has opened by eyes to the importance of marketing my practice.

I have attended the summer seminar for two years and was so impressed that I became a Coaching Member in 2007 and have applied to the MasterMind Group in 2008. GLM will truly enhance your life for the better - both professionally and personally.
