John K. Fulweiler, Esq. accepted an invitation to speak at the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association meeting last night at the Rhode Island Yacht Club. The evening was billed as a discussion of marketing strategies for the marine trades and John was asked to discuss the publication of his recent story, A SWIM (Flood Tide Press, 2013). There was a very good turnout and John saw a lot of familiar faces in the audience. Following on the heels of experienced marketing strategists, John's remarks centered on the importance of building relationships. "I tend to really work hard at developing clients for the long term," John explained. "The book was a natural outgrowth of our Firm's efforts to strengthen those relationships and to provide a talking point for the fans and friends of what we do in our maritime law practice." John thanks RIMTA for the invitation to speak and for having put together a highly informative evening.
