Why Solicitors Should Not Be Like Their Law Firm Competitors

Have you seen your competitor’s activity recently?

Have you seen all of their new articles added to their website?

Have you seen them regularly posting and commenting on posts on LinkedIn?

Have you seen that really funny story that they put out to the press last week?

No, neither have I!Why Solicitors Should Not Be Like Their Law Firm Competitors

What do I mean?

Well, what I mean is that the majority of your competitors have completely disappeared during this pandemic.

They have been paralysed into inactivity, leaving a significant gap in your legal services niche or in your local area.

If your competitors aren’t talking to their clients, it leaves a gap there for you to do so.

It leaves you with the chance to be a ‘thought leader’ to your niche or local market, and impart your views on what people or businesses should be doing right now so that they get through this pandemic AND come out of the other side of it stronger.

Are you taking this chance?

Are you sending a weekly email to your email list?

Are you adding this article to your website and forwarding it to your local or niche press?

Now, perhaps more than ever, the media are looking for interesting angles on the current situation or any more lighthearted news stories.

Are you building your network on LinkedIn so that when you post this article on your website, you also mention it on LinkedIn and include a link to it for people to discover more?

Don’t be like your competition.

Be better than them and when the world starts turning even just a little bit faster, you will come out of the blocks like Usain Bolt before he tore his hamstring!

On the LinkedIn point, I have seen a lot more activity, comments, shares and support on this platform recently, possibly because people have more time to look at it.

If you do not feel your profile is quite up to scratch, or you do not know how to find your ideal clients and connect with them so that they can see all these weekly posts that you will now be adding (you will, won’t you?), there is full training on this inside Marketing4Solicitors which you can join right now.

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.

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.

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.

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.
