If you want a high-level practice, you need high-level clients. The first step is making sure you can deliver exceptional service. John Strohmeyer joins me to talk about how to do that, which he first learned before law school when working as a manager at a Four Seasons hotel. How did that experience help him in his law practice? Listen and find out. Show Notes * Strohmeyer Law website * 5 Star Counsel (John's podcast about customer service lessons for lawyers) * Commanding the Table (documentary about Commanders' Palace restaurant) * Check out my 2-page outline: Digital Automation (how to use technology better to create a better law practice)

BTW, I'd love to get your feedback or hear about your questions (which I'll answer in upcoming episodes).
