Converting Leads to Clients: Navigating the Critical Moments in Legal Consultations

Investing heavily in marketing to create leads? Wondering why more of those aren’t converting? Or why you’re getting so much pushback on fees? In this webinar, Adam Boyd covers critical mistakes attorneys make in consults with potential clients that lead to poor outcomes, whether misunderstandings or missed opportunities.

He also lays out conversational structures that align expectations and ensure both client and attorney get what they need from a consult: mutual qualification, an exchange of information, and an understanding of whether or not they want to work together. Finally, he delivers best practices in handling potential clients that lead to better reviews, even with those who don’t engage the attorney.

Agenda:
  • Why focus on the consult? Assumptions, cost structures, and conversions
  • Case study: Small, consumer practice law firm
  • Most common conversational and structural mistakes attorneys make in consults
  • Best practices in consult structures, and the reasoning for this
  • People skills needed to run more effective consults
Topics covered include: Law Practice Management
