Robots, Estate Agents And Law Firm Marketing

Robots And Law Firm Marketing And Management

The robots are coming. Will the robots replace estate agents? Will they replace lawyers? IBM’s Watson is already giving legal advice apparently, so what is next, and what marketing can you do to protect your law firm’s future?

In the estate agency world, which is obviously linked to the legal world through conveyancing, technology has already had a major impact. Rightmove and Zoopla should lead people to ask “Why do I need an estate agent if all that they do is put my property on Rightmove?”.

That question must have been asked because the likes of Sarah Beeny’s Tepilo and Purple Bricks provide the viewing service and put you on Rightmove for a fraction of the price of a traditional estate agent.

Whilst we may not be able to see it yet, despite Watson doing his best, more of this is certain to follow.

My question for you is this – what are you going to do about it?

The race to the bottom could be furiously fast, so my advice is to not get involved in that.

Instead, you must optimise everything that you do so that it works as close to perfectly as possible, including:

  1. The delivery of your service;
  2. The marketing of your services; and
  3. The recruitment and retention of brilliant staff.

That way, whilst the rest race to the bottom, you can swim against the tide to the top; a much nicer place to be.

You can get help with all three of the above points as a member of Marketing4Solicitors, because, despite the name, it isn’t just marketing that I cover. My LinkedIn Recruitment Process (M4S issue 66) is already producing some results for Marketing4Solicitors members.

As the owner of a small to medium-sized law firm, I have found that Samson Consulting’s Marketing4Solicitors monthly newsletter has proved absolutely invaluable throughout the last three years or so. Of all the marketing advice I’ve had over the years, this has proved by far the best value – bringing us tens of thousand of pounds of extra work every year.

One of the best tricks Nick Jervis [who owns Samson Consulting] uses, is not only to identify the kind of marketing actions a small or medium-sized business can take themselves, but he also explains why it works and most importantly then takes you through, step-by-step exactly what you need to do. As someone who is passionate about growing my business, I really look forward to receiving Nick’s excellent newsletter every month.

It’s worth pointing out that initially I was sceptical about his promises – so many marketing businesses promise the earth. But within a couple of months I was absolutely convinced he was right and I have been hooked ever since.

I recommend Nick Jervis and Samson Consulting without any hesitation whatsoever.

Brilliant, insightful and a great discussion. Nick certainly knows his stuff and makes you feel at ease.

Chris Rennie

Nick takes a no-nonsense approach, cuts the fluff and gets straight to the point – which is an approach that you see very little nowadays in the world of marketing where you have many gurus with complex approach that most probably never work. I look forward to working with Nick.

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!

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.
