The Partners Will Not Let Me Get On With Marketing..

I often receive the same questions from the partner or solicitor charged with responsibility for marketing which says:

How do I persuade the partners to let me try new marketing initiatives when they say that everything they have tried before has failed and they do not believe they should be doing any marketing anymore.

Answer
First, I see and hear this all of the time, so if this applies to you, you are certainly not alone. It usually comes from many years of being ‘hard sold’ last minute advertising or schemes without any tracking or measuring of results (no treasure without measure). So it is not really a surprise that everything has failed. This is not proper marketing where you plan your target audience, choose the media and then ensure you hit the right message.

Therefore, the method I have used in these situations is to seek a relatively small budget to test two or three initiatives on the understanding that the partners will not intervene until all results are in. Ensure you have good tracking in place and let the campaigns run. If they work, go back and ask for a bigger budget to go again and keep going until you have autonomy. It takes time, is not my ideal method but it ALWAYS wins the partners round eventually as the results on paper cannot be denied…

As usual with Nick he was super informative and helpful and gave me some very good tips for me to go forward with. He exudes positivity and makes dealing with him a pleasure. Also gave me a steer in helping two other contacts I have who may be able to use his services

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.

I have worked with Nick for many years. He is an excellent consultant and helps law firms and businesses attract the clients they are looking for. Highly recommend.

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.
