The Only Thing That Matters With Your Legal Email Newsletter Now…

Curtis Stigers. Do you remember him? Big American ballad/pop singer from the 90s. Well, he was actually quite little, but he had a big voice. One of his biggest hits was “You’re all that matters to me”.

The Only Thing That Matters With Your Legal Email Newsletter Now

I went to see him in concert once. He was hilarious. He ran around the stage like a lunatic and every so often would run up a set of stairs and jump off them. It was like watching a parrot do tricks!

I digress.

Back to the title of this email and the reference to Curtis, there is only one thing that matters now.

Send your email marketing newsletter CONSISTENTLY.

This really is ‘the only thing that matters’. If you have gone to the trouble of setting up your database and adding clients and prospects to it, unless you consistently communicate with them now it will all have been a complete waste of time.

All marketing needs consistency, but this is especially true when it comes to email marketing.

Unless your email hits your clients’ inbox (inboxes, inbiii, amo, amas, amat..?) each and every month you cannot expect to see your referrals and recommendations rise.

It simply won’t happen.

I suggest monthly as a bare minimum for solicitors. You could do fortnightly, but I am a realist and I would rather you do something than nothing, so I am happy with monthly, and I know it works in terms of keeping your firm name in your prospects minds.

You need to set a day, date, or time of month that your newsletter will go out from you.

You then need to treat that date like a conveyancing completion date, a court hearing date or whatever legal reference floats your boat. Don’t just say “it would be nice to send it around this time of the month”, but instead set that date in stone.

Unless you treat this as if it is the most important legal deadline, I know that you will let it slide. Something else will call upon your valuable time, so you will do ‘that email’ next week. Then a week will pass, then a month and before you know it you aren’t sending an email newsletter.

Don’t give me the ridiculous comment that I hear every so often “I am just waiting until I have something interesting to say”. If you have said that before you are simply making excuses. The law impacts every one of us in a hundred different ways every single day. There is always something to be said, and as I advise you to outsource your copywriting this really shouldn’t be your problem to worry about.

I suggest you actually delegate the sending of your monthly email to your PA or a senior secretary and advise her that you will dock her wages by 10% for every day after the deadline that the email is not sent.

If you are serious about growing your law firm, this is important. You need to treat it as such.

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.

Tim Weir

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.

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!

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.
