FRUSTRATED LAWYER CALLS 1,000 LAW FIRMS FOR MARKETING TIPS
A Solo Attorney Secretly Interviews Colleagues while Posing as a Telemarketer
New York, NY - For the last 3 years, attorney Michael Lee has been cold-calling lawyers across the nation to discover their marketing techniques. \"Law school doesn\'t teach you how to get clients,\" says Lee. \"It\'s not fair. Many mediocre attorneys get excellent cases, while good lawyers often starve.\"
Frustrated with his own practice -- and lack of clients -- Lee joined a legal advertising agency as a part-time telemarketer. Instead of selling advertising services, Lee interviewed lawyers about their marketing tactics.
After speaking with over 1,000 attorneys, Lee claims that he has learned ways to rapidly boost any lawyer\'s practice. Among the more outrageous marketing techniques Lee has heard:
- Asking clients to photocopy business cards onto \"sticky-back\" paper and sticking them all over town.
- Wearing a string bikini in newspaper ads
- Wearing a T-Shirt that says \"Free Legal Advice: Ask Me How!\" in shopping malls
To help lawyers market their services, Lee has published helpful tips on his new websites: www.PremiumPractice.com and www.Marketing-at-Law.com
According to Lee, there are many low-cost ways for attorneys to increase their client base. Among them are:
- Asking for referrals from former clients on a monthly basis \"The more you ask, the more you get -- plain and simple,\" says Lee.
- Publishing a newsletter that includes community information \"Newsletters that share community news or events get held onto a lot longer.\"
- Never Eating Alone \"Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are 3 built-in excuses to meet and network with community and business leaders.\"
Lee shares more techniques on his websites. He also offers lawyers a free guide, entitled \"Beyond Rainmaking: How to Create a Referral Hurricane!\" on his websites.
Michael Lee is a licensed attorney and a certified business broker. He manages an acquisitions strategy firm headquartered in New York and Los Angeles. In his spare time, he publishes a hobby newsletter called, \"Lawyer Marketing Report,\" which chronicles his ongoing fascination with legal marketing.
