The Solicitors Marketing Growth Plan

Where are you now with your practice? Is it hugely successful and producing the income level that you want and crave, or could it do with a little extra help?

I have worked with hundreds of solicitors over the years, and I have met solicitors operating at each end of the spectrum, from the strugglers to the hugely successful ones at the other end of the scale.

My workings have led me to create a new visual representation of how to go from struggling to hugely successful, so I thought it might be useful if I shared that with you, so here we go! One word of warning I should add, I am not a professional artist, and the sketches were drawn on my iPad, so please bear that in mind.

Level 1 Of The Solicitors Marketing Growth Plan – Struggling

Solicitors Ascension Marketing Model Level 1

At this level life is not very pleasant. The solicitor is getting by, but could earn more in a different occupation without the professional qualifications he or she has so heavily invested in. No one wants to be at this level. Why does this happen? Well, I will cover that later in this feature, but please see each level rather than jump to the end (I knew what you were thinking)….

Level 2 Of The Solicitors Marketing Growth Plan – Stability

At this level you can start to breathe a little easier. The bills are now relatively easily paid and you can start to enjoy life a little more, although there is not a lot left over at the end of each month.

Level 3 Of The Solicitors Marketing Growth Plan – Success

At level three, life really is much more fun (as it should be). You now have spare income as well as covering the basics!

Level 4 Of The Solicitors Marketing Growth Plan – Cream too!

Level 4 Of The Solicitors Marketing Growth Plan

At this level, you really can enjoy yourself a lot more. If you are a sole practitioner, you might now have a fee earner doing more of the fee earning than you are, or you simply have as much of the right quality of work coming in as you want or need.

If you have several fee earners you are now definitely able to stop fee earning (if you choose), instead concentrating on growing your practice further still.

Can you jump one or two levels?

Level 5 Of The Solicitors Marketing Growth Plan

So how do you go through these levels, and how can you jump one, two or even three of them?

Well, it all depends on your numbers in red at the sides. Have you already worked out what these are? These are the number of automated marketing methods that you have put in place that regularly produce new client instructions for you.

If you are at the struggle position, you need to put in place another method (or more likely the first proper automated legal marketing method) to generate new instructions, and you need to ensure that it works with or without your input. This is vital because you have to do the fee earning too, and you cannot do both the marketing and the fee earning full time when you are busy, so one of them will suffer and in my experience that is always the marketing.

You can only go up through these levels by adding new, automated marketing tactics that will produce new instructions for you one at a time, or can you?

Well because I have prepared this model based on my experiences of working with solicitors for many years now, there is one way to jump a level or two using the automated marketing method; that is to have a website which produces a high volume of leads for you.

This can move you quickly from struggling to success or even to Cream, and I have seen it do this for many different firms of solicitors, from sole practitioners working alone to firms with 10 or more staff.

Summary

Wherever you are on the Solicitors Marketing Growth Plan, just be reassured that you are in the best place to quickly move from where you are to where you want to be. Just ask me if you need some guidance on the fastest way to do this.

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.

Emerson Scotland

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

Tim Bishop

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.

Imran Ali

I have been working with Nick Jervis for well over a year now.

I am a subscriber to the Marketing for Solicitors Service which has taught me integral techniques and tricks of the trade to grow my firm.

I can honestly say that Nick Jervis taught me a number of techniques that I would not ordinarily have thought of.

I feel that Nick Jervis is essential if you are serious about growing your business.

I would recommend his services to anyone who is serious about growing their firm.

I feel that Nick has totally transformed the way we now think and he is a genius in the world of marketing for law firms.

In my opinion, the consultancy offered by Nick Jervis will drive real value to your business.

Iain MacDonald

Excellent consultation very practical and straight forward planning, positively and optimistically reimagining a small law firms prospects.
