Testimonials
We have never once regretted having Nick as our marketing consultant. He is just brilliant at thinking out of the box and making us do the same. We decided very early on that we just had to trust him because we are lawyers and not so good at selling things!
Nick is enthusiastic and extremely pro active which is infectious and makes us want to excel at attracting the clients we really want.
He is now an integral and indispensable part of our team.
Julie Glynn, Partner, Glynns Solicitors.
"Since we have involved Nick in marketing there has been a transformation in our practice. Whilst previously we had plodded along for 10 years picking up all sorts of work via word of mouth and local networking , thanks to Nick we now have focus and are attracting the sort of work and clients that we want on a daily basis. Nick is innovative and proactive. He doesn't believe in putting off until tomorrow anything that can be done today. He is results oriented and we can already, after a relatively short period of time, see results"
Jenny Batchelor, Batchelor Myddelton Solicitors.
"I have met various consultants over the years and have always been cautious when engaging their services. However, the difference with Nick is that as a solicitor he really understands my business so that saves a lot of time. When you add to that his proven marketing experience and the fact that he consistently provides a high return on investment for my practice (ie wins me new instructions and new clients every single month) I have no hesitation in recommending him."

Generate Your Own Legal Sales Team To Promote Your Practice
Would You Like a Sales Team of 1000 Promoting Your Practice Literally Overnight?
I was with a group of conveyancing solicitors recently (15 or so). Some have relied on bulk work for quite some time but then realised that if you lose a referrer you lose a lot of clients (and maybe staff) overnight. There was also the realisation that it is not the most profitable work. A lot of them now try lots of different methods to bring in new work, some from schemes and some from independent initiatives. I know from my own experience that many different methods are the only way to attract regular enquiries. It is only when you put them all together that you get significant and regular results.
One of the firms present follows one of my favourite methods of marketing, referral marketing. Every client who refers a new client to them receives £100. They tell the new client this and say that the same will happen to them if they refer new business to them. For those of you thinking "I don't like that, it's a bit crude", think about it for a moment. If you advertise you are paying for your clients. If you are part of a referral scheme where you pay a fee you are paying for your clients. By having an office with a shop front you are paying for your clients. If you explain to your client that you would rather give the money to them than the local newspaper, it is an easy point to get across and already the client is sold on how different you are from most solicitors.
The Result!
Suddenly instead of a team of 5 fee earners potentially promoting the firm, you have every client promoting your services, 100's of them. If you extend the scheme to your staff (support staff not fee earners as they should be obtaining work for your practice anyway - if they are not, ask about Samson Consulting's "Sales And Marketing For Fee Earners Course") you have an even larger sales team. Think how many clients you have acted for in the past year, across your whole practice, it must be 100's/1000s who could all be out there selling for you. So overnight you can go from a potential sales team of 5 to a sales team of 1000!
