5 Ways to Optimize the Attorney-Marketing Relationship
As a profession, legal marketing is still in its infancy. In fact, words like sales, marketing and business development were virtually shunned as nonsense and "ambulance chasing" just a decade ago. Back then, attorneys enjoyed longstanding institutional clients, handshake deals, unquestioned bills, and significant leverage in the attorney-client relationship.
But how times have changed. With an increase in partner laterals, the advent of increasingly sophisticated procurement teams, greater transparency into pricing models, and more law firm mergers every year, the dynamics have certainly shifted. Attorneys can no longer simply wait for their phones to ring and to expect million-dollar books of business by executing and providing superb client service. That ship has sailed, and client expectations have been raised across the board.
Clients both expect and deserve more in 2019, and they are getting it in many forms, often driven by the marketing and business-development teams. From complementary in-house CLE trainings and future issue spotting sessions to dedicated client and industry teams, client feedback programs, attorney secondments and other tactics, we have created a more symbiotic relationship between lawyers and those they serve. And that's a good thing.
