Is There Any Hustle in Your Marketing?

Posted by Dave Lorenzo

Lately I have been inundated with calls from tenured solo attorneys who suddenly need to find new business…in the worst economy since the great depression.

Why the sudden need for new business?

In most cases it is because they lost one or two “big” clients who made up the bulk of their law firm’s revenue. 

Coincidentally, these were the same attorneys who went out and bought (or leased) the $100,000 sports cars when times were good.

The voices on the other end of the phone are always strained as they say how amazed they are that they could go from billing $500,000 a year to $50,000 almost overnight.  The strain turns to downright panic when I ask them to send me a copy of their marketing plan

It gets even worse when I ask them what they have been doing to develop new business for the past couple of years.  Most of them can’t point to anything beyond getting a website together.

So what are these attorneys (with 15 years of experience or more) supposed to do?

The answer is simple. It can be summed up in one word.

“Hustle.”

What does that mean?

It simply means that they need to get out of their office and get their face in front of people who could potentially hire them. 

Here are the three simple steps I give them to jump start their practice:

1. Call everyone you know.  Make sure they understand what you do for a living and how you are different from everyone else who does the same thing.

2. Break some bread. Go to breakfast, lunch and/or dinner with someone new each day.  Make sure they know what you do for a living and make sure they know why you are different from your competitors.

3. Follow-up, follow-up, follow-up.  I have a specific system my clients use to keep in touch with everyone they have met face-to-face.  It is nonintrusive and it keeps the attorney’s name and value proposition in front of the client/prospect every couple of weeks.  This point can’t be overemphasized.  Follow-up will always result in new matter origination.  It never fails.

In my book this is hustling.  It requires aggressive activity.  It requires you to get up off your chair and make something happen.

Is there any hustle in your marketing?

If you want to find out more about my never-fail follow-up system or how I can help you get some new clients…give me a call.

Ethical Legal Marketing

Judson Cohen

“I thought I knew all about running my practice and generating work but, I have to admit, I learned a bunch from Dave Lorenzo.

I’ll admit it, I made the same mistake most attorneys make about new business. I assumed doing a great job for my existing clients was enough to guarantee new business.

Yes, you have to do a great job for your clients. However, that does not guarantee new business. Dave helped me put in place simple and effective tools to reach out to new clients and maintain a healthy relationship with past clients.

Dave Lorenzo continues to help me find sustainable, ethical ways to consistently attract new business.“

Lawyers Marketing Their Services are Blessed to Have You

Barry Stein

Dear David:

As you already knew, and as I learned, what separates you from any other such service is the time you spend to learn and understand the attorney’s practice you are working with AND to explore the goals and objectives of the attorneys involved. This two prong approach allows for you to develop a unique plan for lawyers marketing their services.

For those who love the practice of law, it is a real relief to have someone who loves to assist in the promotion of that work. Thanks for deciding to create Rainmaker Lawyer Consulting and as corny as it sounds, I know I am blessed by your having entered my life, both professionally and personally.

Great Law Firm Marketing System

David Edelstein

“As a criminal defense attorney, I am used to fighting against overwhelming odds.  It’s a tough job.  I face difficult challenges on a daily basis.  But the truth is, none of those challenges are as tough as starting a law firm and finding clients.  Law school prepares you for many things but marketing certainly isn’t one of them.

That’s where Dave Lorenzo and Rainmaker Lawyer Consulting come in.  Dave helps me refine my law firm marketing plan, execute the strategy and measure the results.  The guidance, expertise and support I receive from him are invaluable.
