Why Solicitors Fail At Marketing Their Law Firms

One of the most common challenges I have heard recently from solicitors is that they just can’t find the time to spend on growing their law firms.

When I dive a little deeper, the main problem seems to be a very simple one.

Interruptions.

Interruptions from emails, clients, staff, uncle Tom Cobley et al.

Unless or until you set in stone some time in your diary to stop all of these problems, you can never grow your practice to the next level.

Look, what you do is important, I accept that. But, to put it bluntly, you are not surgeons. 

If you wait another 30 minutes to read that flashing, exciting looking email, all will still be ok in your part of the world.

If you have to leave the staff member to work out where the paperclips are themselves, that is ok too. He can find them, it might take two minutes, but they will miraculously present themselves.

We all have interruptions, me too. 

I have worked in a solicitors practice just like you, and dealt with management, marketing and client issues all at the same time.

However, I can tell you from my own experience, and now that of working with hundreds of solicitors, that unless or until you take charge of your diary, you will never see the growth in your law firm that you would like to.

My advice – just spend the first 30 minutes of every day working on growing your practice.

Preferably, do this before you even get into your office, so there are less distractions.

Do this for a month and tell me how much better your business is for it!

The Fast Track To More Clients Programme starts today for the ambitious, committed solicitors who are ready to grow their practices. I have already had detailed one to one meetings with each of them to map out their Marketing Masterplan for the next eight to ten weeks. They have lots to do, but I am there to help them every step of the way. I know that at the end of this period they will have more automated marketing processes in place and their practices will be thriving.

If you would like to be the first to know when the programme opens again (likely to be January), please click the link to be added to the Priority Notification List and you will have the first chances of securing your place.

Law Firm Marketing

Claire Johnson

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
