The Clio 2019 Legal Trends Report is out and it’s an eye-opener, especially for firms investing heavily in lawyer marketing but not seeing the results they want. Actually, it’s a clear validation of what The Rainmaker Institute has been doing over the past few years to illustrate exactly how lawyers are failing at lawyer marketing.
Just as we’ve done, Clio contacted 1,000 law firms via email and 500 firms by phone to “secret shop” these law firms. They also surveyed 2,000 consumers who recently needed an attorney as well as 2,507 legal professionals.
First, let’s take a look at what potential clients say is important to them:
Now let’s look at how the law firms in the secret shopper survey (family, criminal, bankruptcy, employment, and business firms) performed against these client expectations:
Obviously there is a HUGE disconnect between what clients want and what lawyers are delivering. For law firms that perform well to client expectations, the upside for new client acquisition is enormous!
The good news is that this is failure that can be fixed.
And the fastest way to fix it is to attend a Rainmaker Retreat. Why? Because we teach lawyers proven strategies to meet or exceed client expectations.
First, we secret-shop every lawyer who attends a Retreat and provide you with a scorecard of how you performed. A majority of our attendees find this exercise to be somewhat painful but always enlightening.
But that’s just the tip of the lawyer marketing iceberg because over the two-day seminar (always on a Friday-Saturday):
