Professional Indemnity Insurance Solicitors And Life Changes

I know that indemnity insurance costs have risen...in case you
didn't see it there's a new insurer on the market and the Law
Society have produced a guide to the subject...

One member of this newsletter has used Connect2Law

to successfully get P I Insurance. Might be another route for you?

Obviously insurance is a major issue for you. But what are major
issues for your clients?

Because major life changes can help you to market..

Things like;marriage, divorce, kids, buying a house,
retirement, selling a business etc.


Most people are going through these at any one time.

And they don't know that there are legal consequences.

So there's the opportunity to enter their "theatre of the mind".

This means that you enter the conversation that is
already going on in their heads.

It's much easier than butting in where you are not welcome
.

Just make sure it's a laser targeted headline or
selling phrase you use when you engage them
by email, on the phone or by letter.

It still amazes me that solicitors don't make an offer for a new Will
with conveyancing EVERY TIME. Perhaps you might wait a few weeks/months
to sell the Will because a new house takes up most of
someone's brain for a while.

But plant the seed and then nurture it with a marketing sequence
over a few months and I bet
you'll get their Will sorted.

And if you find this difficult to systemise
why not automate the whole process?

A friendly letter/email and sms text twice a year
highlighting legal solutions to major life changes
would cost pennies but it's a nice reminder
and your clients will thank you for it.

If a garage can send an sms about an MOT
and a dentist can send a reminder about a check-up
couldn't you do the same twice a year about a
legal check up?

The more you help your clients the more they will
trust and like you. And the more they will buy.

And the principle applies to commercial clients
as well as private clients. The more you know about
their business the more you can provide solutions.

But if you don't ask regularly you will never know.

PS remember people buy when they want to buy, not when
you want to sell. That's why you have to be in constant
contact efficiently, in a valuable way, and systematically.
