📰 About Micki Love:
Micki Love is the talented CEO & President of CJ Advertising and a 32-year legal industry veteran. She started her career as a runner at a small personal injury firm in Kentucky and rose to become COO, helping scale the firm to 175+ employees across multiple states. After advising law firms nationwide through Vista Consulting, Micki joined CJ Advertising in 2018, where she now leads strategy, growth, and client success.

👉 Sasha and Micki explore:
— How AI is reshaping intake, operations, and client attraction (and where authenticity still shines).
— Why referrals continue to outperform every marketing channel.
— The “100-touch-point” strategy smart firms use to get remembered.
— The very costly mistake most firms make with 60% of their leads.
— How smaller firms can now catch up to “800-pound gorillas” using content, visibility, and smarter systems.

👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Stop ignoring rejected leads. Build a simple nurture system (email + text + check-ins) for the 60% who don’t become clients today.
— Strengthen your referral engine: add post-case follow-ups, anniversary messages, and client surveys.
— Create authentic content (avoid AI avatars). Record short videos answering real client questions and share them across platforms.
— Don’t rely on one channel. Use at least 8 to 12. Grow your visibility across referrals, email, video, community presence, SEO, and more.
