Why Solicitors Fail At Marketing Their Law Firms

One of the most common challenges I have heard recently from solicitors is that they just can’t find the time to spend on growing their law firms.

When I dive a little deeper, the main problem seems to be a very simple one.

Interruptions.

Interruptions from emails, clients, staff, uncle Tom Cobley et al.

Unless or until you set in stone some time in your diary to stop all of these problems, you can never grow your practice to the next level.

Look, what you do is important, I accept that. But, to put it bluntly, you are not surgeons. 

If you wait another 30 minutes to read that flashing, exciting looking email, all will still be ok in your part of the world.

If you have to leave the staff member to work out where the paperclips are themselves, that is ok too. He can find them, it might take two minutes, but they will miraculously present themselves.

We all have interruptions, me too. 

I have worked in a solicitors practice just like you, and dealt with management, marketing and client issues all at the same time.

However, I can tell you from my own experience, and now that of working with hundreds of solicitors, that unless or until you take charge of your diary, you will never see the growth in your law firm that you would like to.

My advice – just spend the first 30 minutes of every day working on growing your practice.

Preferably, do this before you even get into your office, so there are less distractions.

Do this for a month and tell me how much better your business is for it!

The Fast Track To More Clients Programme starts today for the ambitious, committed solicitors who are ready to grow their practices. I have already had detailed one to one meetings with each of them to map out their Marketing Masterplan for the next eight to ten weeks. They have lots to do, but I am there to help them every step of the way. I know that at the end of this period they will have more automated marketing processes in place and their practices will be thriving.

If you would like to be the first to know when the programme opens again (likely to be January), please click the link to be added to the Priority Notification List and you will have the first chances of securing your place.

Nick is a fountain of knowledge, tried and tested personally. He has that rare gift of not making you feel daft for asking any question. After our consultation I felt far less like a rabbit in the headlights and far more empowered to climb the marketing mountain successfully.

Chris Carter

Nick has for a long time now been the go to Legal Marketing Expert offering game changing advice in a no-nonsense way.

As well as knowing what works, he will also make sure you don’t waste valuable time on initiatives that aren’t destined to chime.

Approachable, friendly and fun to deal with he will always make sure you are travelling in the right direction and on the road to success.

Can’t recommend enough!

As a medium sized Law Firm we have been dealing with Nick for a good few years now – his assistance and support delivered in a friendly but professional way has been invaluable; added to this, coming from a legal background he has a firm understanding of what solicitors require.

At our initial meeting with Nick he advised on various marketing strategies including simple changes to our website that would enhance traffic to the site.

We are now working on a new marketing project and know, as always, we are in safe hands.

Having implemented a raft of improvements to our website and marketing campaigns suggested in Nick’s excellent books, I decided to contact the man himself for a one-to-one discussion.

The thirty minutes spent with Nick on that video call provided me with more business improvement tools than I could’ve hoped for. Nick even took the time to give me some insights on client conversion particular to our area of practice.

Online reviews are often brimming with trite phrases and hyperbole, but I cannot find any other way of saying that my only regret is that I didn’t contact Samson Consulting sooner.

Less than a year ago I asked Nick to help me grow our practice by making the telephone ring.

He’s certainly done that and much more.

The improvements are incredible and Nick has guided me through the many challenges of scaling up, not least the need for a client focused approach.

This has allowed me to start the next phase; organising the practice to ensure a better lifestyle balance for all of us, whilst we continue to grow.
