General Reviews Articles

I have over the years dealt with many people who profess to understand how to market legal services without really understanding how the profession works. I found it very refreshing not only being a solicitor and knowing how a legal practice operates but also you have a very sound grasp of the various marketing strategies which work within our profession. You came very highly recommended by, a friend of mine, Tim Bishop who to put it bluntly does not suffer fools and he speaks very highly of you. It was as a result of that that I contacted you and I have been similarly impressed by firstly the wealth of information which is on your Marketing4Solicitors website and the numerous downloads which will provide me with invaluable tools to market my practice.

Your one hour telephone consultancy was very informative. In a space of an hour you gave us a very good grasp on search engine optimisation and removed a lot of mystique around the same. We now feel confident that we can implement a lot of the strategies ourselves as a result of your advice. I would not hesitate in recommending you to other solicitors although unfortunately it will not be to my competitors.

Dear Nick,

Before I joined Marketing4Solicitors I had concerns because of people I have hired in the past (at some expense) for marketing advice whose advice and material I found ineffective. I was also concerned that by subscribing there would then be pressure to purchase other services and material and without spending additional money the M4S membership would not be that useful.

I honestly think joining M4S has been the best thing I’ve done in terms of investment in marketing. I find all of your material very thought provoking. You provide us with templates and very specific tips but in addition if someone fully absorbs what you have to say then it changes the way we think about our practice specifically and marketing generally. I found your recommendation of Michael Gerber, whose books I’ve since read, particularly instructive and any solicitor (or any business person) would gain a lot from his books about how to organise a business.

The biggest benefits of membership of Marketing4Solicitors are:

The information provided is very focused and very well explained – its practical and can be put into practice by any solicitor immediately;

The interaction between you and your members is very good and I like the way I can contact you with questions;

I find that your regular blogs and updates keep me motivated; and

What you present us with gives us all we need to put together a complete marketing strategy, rather than just get a couple of techniques for increasing business.

It is impossible to quantify the likely return on investment because I don’t think there’s any limit to the extra income which can be produced from a strategy inspired by your recommendations. I’ll be disappointed not to have doubled my turnover in the next twelve months.

Especially with your recommendations on writing (client guides, articles, blogs etc) there’s no limit to the depth of what you can do to market and improve your practice. It’s something that will grow organically (and at little expense) over time. I particularly like the way that your strategies are not based on ‘selling’ as such but by lead generation and ‘serving’ prospective and current clients.

Regards, Simon

I find the M4S, materials and toolkits very practical and useful and a month after signing up I have made significant progress: written up some case studies, requested some new testimonials and drafted the core of what will be my new website. I am now contacting web designers armed with the confidence that I know what I want to achieve and what functions the site will need. This is a break through, as I have for the past 2 years planned and researched sporadically but always got stuck before getting anything done. Many thanks.

My chosen field of Personal Injury, has for many years been fiercely competitive, against a backdrop of intense Defendant lobbying, bringing downward pressure on costs. Changes in the regulatory framework herald further pressures on time, and the advent of Alternative Business Structures is an unknown quantity, but will surely bring the risk of Big Business with its big budgets and slick advertising, to a place near me, trying to sweep up my potential clients. I have been in business 38 years and the challenges are greater than ever, but as I could not even sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo, even if I had the time, I decided help was needed.

On approaching Samson Consulting, I was struck by Nick’s energy in presenting his ideas in a readable, matter-of-fact format, in which he displays on one hand, an uncanny knack of fingering the obvious (to a 5 year old, but not to a practising Solicitor) marketing opportunities that are there for the asking, but at the same time displaying a depth of proven experience and originality of approach in real-world or Internet marketing, with an enthusiasm that is both infectious and confidence-inspiring in these most challenging times.

Thanks, Nick, for constantly reminding us to send emailing to our clients and contacts. I recently sent one about the need to have a Will, popped out for an hour and returned to 5 emails from people wanting updated or new Wills. It made my day! We will now be sending regular emails to all our clients, prospects and contacts as we now realise this really is a great way to ‘increase solicitors’ profits’! Thanks again.

My concerns before joing M4S was that it was a ‘con’ at worst or at best a waste of money.

The impression was due in part to hearing of you on LinkedIn, and I am just suspicious of any business advertised on there (but that is just irrational prejudice on my part). My view has changed due to the following-

1. The free information you gave was very detailed;
2. Your regular emails kept your company in my mind;
3. Since joining your site the information was been good and well structured; and
4. Your marketing critique of my website today was brilliant, better than I could hope for.

I have already told other solicitors about M4S and I am sure I will more than recover my investment in the service.

Nick, I have already provided you with a testimonial about your excellent Marketing4Solicitors service, but I had to write to you again to say that I really appreciate the time you have taken to provide your “marketing critique” to make very important amendments to our marketing letter. We have already had an excellent response to our offering.

My name is Roger and I am a happy member of Marketing4Solicitors from Samson Consulting.

We are creating/designing a new Website for our business at the minute. I needed sound advice concerning the layout and general appeal of our design and content, and I wanted these tips from someone who walked the talk.

Anyhow, I asked Mr. Jervis for a telephone conversation to give me some tips (Marketing4Solicitors members are entitled to a one on one with Nick).

I didn’t get the phone call, I got something better. I sent our draft new website link by mail to him and he assessed our draft website with the benefit of Youtube (so I got the visual aspect of his advice and could hear his advice ). It was crystal with great advice.

It’s great to be surprised and I was surprised with this service.

Thank you.

Why join Marketing4Solicitors?

1. Nick’s enthusiasm and never-give-up attitude is infectious and crucial to us as we are often tempted to ‘give up’ or at least be lazy in relation to marketing.

2. The precedents provided and the structured approach to his teaching so that gradually you come to see how everything in his scheme fits together logically.

3. The fact that through our own testing over time and becoming aware of other “expert” opinions on issues in the marketing world, we have not had any cause to doubt that Nick truly is an expert in relation to the marketing of solicitors’ firms.

I knew that marketing would become extremely important for solicitor firms and the old mentality of “the work will come to you” would be long gone, however I did not know where to start with my marketing plan.

So I joined Marketing4Solicitors and found the marketing templates and documents are very detailed and make you think about what you will be doing, which makes a huge difference.

The benefits for me are a better understanding of marketing solicitor firms, the importance of keeping in touch with your current client database and if you put the effort into marketing you do see the rewards!

I think the service is excellent!

I have been enjoying learning from your insights over the past while since joining Marketing4Solicitors. I have been impressed by your service and wanted to thank you for all of your help to date.

The m4s subscription service was worth much more than the price I paid. There is a lot of information on the internet about marketing but a lot of the methods are incredibly expensive. Nick’s ideas are superior for one main reason, they are done from a business perspective, everything is done with a return on investment in mind and none of the methods are financial black holes.

I would recommend this service to anyone looking to grow their business.

Unlike other marketing services the emphasis seems not to be all based on ‘finding hidden profit in existing clients’ (which doesn’t help me as a new firm with few clients) but rather an all encompassing strategy to increase client base and thereafter profit.

Nick certainly appears to know his stuff and he is willing to share the lurve.
