Mend Your Law Firm Marketing Bridges

Whenever I talk to a solicitor, listen in on calls or visit a law firm I find small inconsistencies or glaring problems which, if corrected, would lead to a lot more business.

In most cases, the owners or Partners simply leave the selling up to individuals.

They give them far too little coaching.

Your business has opportunities to do better.

When was the last time you tried to identify them and make changes to capitalise on them?

Let’s take phone calls. A lot of initial prospects phone a law firm.

They want to get a feel for the person they might consult with.

They might be asking for prices.

They might be comparing firms.

But I know 90% of owners don’t review how this phone call pans out.

How the solicitor puts the prospect into a liking-trusting-buying frame of mind.

Or not.

If you don’t have a systematic way of improving the way in which your prospects are converted on the phone then you have broken bridges to be built.

Try recording your calls and listening in. (I can arrange this for you)

Identify things that are said that work. And things that don’t.

The script you develop over time will be hugely valuable and powerful in getting you more business.

Go from converting 30% of leads to 80% at a higher rate?

Maybe.

And what would that mean for your business?

I've got a simple script that I have used in the past.

I use this to make sure I get what I want from a call...

If you want it let me know...

PS I write for The Negotiator Magazine and here's a page

How RG Solicitors market to Estate Agents to get more Conveyancing Business

I'm impressed a little with
RG Solicitors and how they
are targetting Estate Agents
via Estate Agent Today.

I've shot a short video
on what they are up to.

(At the end there's something
you can swipe and deploy with
schools in your area).

The video is here - or click on this link below.

Shame they don't have a proper landing
page for Estate Agents (do you?)

Shame they don't use video? (do you)

Shame they don't tell me what a free Will
is worth....oh well. Should get this newsletter
shouldn't they...

PS What problems are you having
at the moment with your marketing?

Don't be shy...ask me....

Solicitors Must Test Prices Regularly

Not the most professional.

Not the best.

But a very important
video


Here it is...

PS If you continually test your prices
and have no problems with getting
premium prices for your services you don't
waste time watching this...but one of my clients
doubled his prices after doing this and has
had 12 record months...

Testimonials and Referrals for Solicitors

Great Legal Marketers,

Do you collect testimonials and referrals for your law firm?

You know that your clients want great service.

Do you know if you give it to them?

I am going to assume you ask your legal clients about
your service. And that you do some kind of follow-up survey.
And maybe you actually do something with the results.

Let me ask you...

Is your client survey also a way of getting testimonials?

Because if you word it the right way you will
get them every time. And you will get testimonials that
say you are great, (for specific reasons).
When you get these testimonials people are
declaring they like you.

And they are on the way to becoming loyal.

Which means they are prime clients for getting law firm referrals for you.

And those that really enthuse...
you must dig deeper to get a case study from them.

Or maybe a video testimonial. This works with
business and private clients.

How you do your client follow-up does matter.
If you haven’t got a client survey in place that does this you
might want to get one.

And if you don’t know how... cue music....

“Who you gonna call?”

B-O-Y-D B-U-T-L-E-R!
