Law Firm Marketing: Why You Need a Lead Management System

If your law firm marketing program is working well, it should be producing a large number of lead opportunities for you.  What you do with those opportunities is nearly as important has generating the opportunities.

First, you should develop strategies for increasing the number of leads and tracking them.  Legal marketing can do some of the heavy lifting for you on identifying lead prospects.  But going from a possible lead to a genuine lead and prospect requires a well-designed system that includes follow through.

Second, you should develop a system for tracking all incoming leads and where the leads are in the sales pipeline.  Once a lead comes in, someone has to be tasked with keeping track of the lead status so leads do not fall through the cracks.  Lost leads are lost opportunities, and are akin to leaving money on the table.  They also hurt your reputation with your referral sources if they supplied the referral and you didn’t follow through on the lead.

A good lead system should:

  • Sort and prioritize leads
  • Assign leads to members of the firm for follow up 
  • Maintain the follow-up system and hold the firm members accountable

Converting possibilities and referrals into leads is one of the key conversion tasks of your firm.  Generating referrals from your legal marketing strategy is the first step in building your business.

Converting those leads into clients, and ultimately referral sources, is how you grow your firm into what you envisioned when you began.  Without a good lead flow system, the likelihood of you maximizing the possibilities of your marketing program is slim.
