Why Solicitors Should Not Be Scared Of Marketing Their Law Firms

I know from experiece that often even the word ‘marketing’ terrifies some solicitors. They hear the word or think about the word and go into a blind sweat or panic. Solicitors should not be scared of marketing though. Let me explain why by showing you some simple marketing you can do that works.

If you want one simple thing to do to win some more clients, start here:

  1. Look at the last month. Which source has delivered the most new clients to you? If you don’t know, make your task this month to track this better. When you do know, move on to step two;
  2. Make this marketing method work harder for you.

If it is referrals that is working best for you, actively seek out some more referrals or make contact with old referrers who you notice haven’t sent you any work for a while. Maybe whilst its quiet over the summer take them out for a coffee or lunch. Show genuine interest in them rather than simply asking for more referrals and they will come naturally.

If it is your website that is your biggest producer, make it better. Look at your Google Analytics and see which are the most frequently visited pages (login then head to Behaviour/Site Content / All Pages) then work on making them better. Ensure they end with a call to action which includes your linked telephone number (so that the 70% of your visitors on mobile devices can ‘click to call you’), an email address and enquiry form.

If your best source of work is walk-ins, what can you do to make the front of your building even more visible. Signage is one of the most under rated but powerful marketing tools for solicitors. A Boards, facing the footfall and traffic are very good too.

Once you know which method is your best provider of new instructions, starting with improving that is a very good move.

If you don’t know what it is, find out. It matters.

Brilliant, insightful and a great discussion. Nick certainly knows his stuff and makes you feel at ease.

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.

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.

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.
