Take Charge with Norman Bacal

Build Your Book

Norman Bacal is a legend in Canadian law. Norm built & led one of Canada’s most prestigious law firms. He was also one of the most successful film finance lawyers in the country. He sat on the board of directors of a Hollywood studio and represented companies like Warner Bros, MGM, Sony, and Lionsgate.

Then, the firm collapsed and he re-invented himself as a bestselling author of Breakdown, speaker, and mentor to young lawyers (or just young professionals starting out).

In this episode, we talk about:

• How to get started in sales as a lawyer
• What being a vacuum salesperson taught Norm about selling as a lawyer
• Why "failing" 6 times with each client is part of the process
• The most important thing to do when you fall through the trapdoor in life
• The importance of a performance as a lawyer
• What it's like to start from zero again
• and so much more!

This episode is for the books!
