John Hellerman: Why Great Lawyers Still Need Marketing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most attorneys assume good work will eventually speak for itself.
John Hellerman isn't so sure.
John is the founder of Hellerman Communications, where he helps lawyers and professional service firms build credibility through thought leadership, media exposure, and strategic communications.
In this episode of the SideBar Advisors podcast, we discuss why reputation is what drives business development, how attorneys can become known for the work they want to do, and why the goal of marketing isn't simply getting noticed — it's creating trust before a client ever picks up the phone.
We also explore positioning, media strategy, career development, and practical ways lawyers at every stage can build authority in a competitive market.
