In this episode:
There’s a lot that goes into a successful law firm, and now we add another component to that list: business development.
While marketing is crucial and the quality of your work is essential, business development can often get overlooked. Law firms still function as a business and require strategic growth and optimization to be profitable. Especially in light of COVID-19, many law firms have lost the finer details on how to treat clients and improve their services. This relates to every step of the process, but particularly the culture your law firm has cultivated. It can be hard for some lawyers to see this without outside help. Luckily, that’s where David Freeman comes in.
In this episode of the Spill the Ink! podcast, Michelle Calcote King interviews consultant David Freeman to hear his thoughts on business development for lawyers and law firms. The two touch on topics of cross-selling, improving your leadership and excelling in the virtual age. They also talk about the culture of your law firm and how to transform it from the ground up.
