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

Iain MacDonald

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

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.

Carl Atkinson

I have enjoyed working with Nick over the past couple of years and his advice has helped me manage and improve the marketing of my business.

Nick has provided many helpful and practical suggestions to improve my marketing strategy and I am happy to recommend his services.

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 Thomas

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
