Law Firm Marketing: Achieve Your Dreams by Becoming a Rainmaker

Today is Martin Luther King Day, a day set aside to honor and remember the lasting legacy of an inspirational American leader.  His “I Have a Dream” speech continues to echo down the generations.

Today is also a good day to reflect upon our own dreams and goals for our lives. 

There are many things that can distract you from your goals, and you need a laser-like focus on your mission if you are to achieve the business and personal goals you have set.

Every week I speak to attorneys who have bought into the myth that their primary roles and responsibilities are, in order:

  1. To be a “billing machine” for their law firm.
  2. To be the administrator in the firm.
  3. If they have any time left over, to meet with prospects.

This is completely reversed!

As a partner or owner of your law firm, your primary role and responsibility is to be the Rainmaker for the firm—not the technician billing clients and certainly not handling the administrative minutia.

Technicians (lawyers who can bill clients) are easily found, but true Rainmakers are difficult to replace. (For those of you who are not partners in your law firm, here's the one key you need to become “irreplaceable”: learn the skills of being a powerful Rainmaker.)

Take time today reflect on your legal marketing strategies and ask yourself if you have taken your eyes off your goals (or if you have let others distract you from your goals). If you have, make it your task this week to refocus on your law firm marketing plan and avoid the distractions that can move your focus onto things that will not move you toward your goals and dreams.
