Learn How to Turn Random Referrals Into a Regular Referral System at a Rainmaker Retreat

If you ask many attorneys where most clients from, they say referrals.  But if you ask them exactly where their referrals come from, you usually get a blank stare in response.

The problem with random referrals is that they are...well, random. You can never count on when you might get one. So how you can go from random referrals to create a referral-based practice?

Insights From Rainmaker Retreat Attendee on How Applying What She Learned Earned Her 43 New Cases

Last June, I was privileged to keynote the California Solo and Small Firm Summit and present four breakout sessions:

Law Firm Marketing Strategies in a Social Media World: How to Use Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to Connect with Clients, Prospects and Referral Sources

How to Use YouTube, Avvo, and Your Blog to Connect with Clients, Prospects and Referral Sources

Proven Strategies for Using Websites and Internet Marketing to Generate More Leads

From Lead Generation to Client Retention: Secrets of Highly Successful Rainmakers

Patricia Van Haren, a Torrance, California family law attorney, attended this June event and just finished participating in our two-day law firm marketing boot camp, the Rainmaker Retreat, in Las Vegas last weekend. Here’s her story:

Using just what she learned in those four sessions in June, she was able to generate 43 new cases for her family law practice in only six months – impressive, to say the least! She has now formed a new partnership and attended our Rainmaker Retreat to further refine her education on law firm marketing to grow that new partnership quickly. 

I was interested to hear that one of her key takeaways was about micromanaging the client experience. Too often, micromanagement is seen as a bad thing – but that is not the case when it comes to ensuring your clients have the best possible experience with your firm.   You not only want them to return and refer, you want the word on your good reputation to be spread via social media – this can only be accomplished by paying very close and careful attention to managing the experience your clients have with your firm.

If you are interested in learning the law firm marketing strategies Patricia is using to grow her firm, here are our scheduled Rainmaker Retreat sessions:

February 10-11, 2012 – Orlando, FL

March 30-31, 2012 – San Diego, CA

April 27-28, 2012 – Chicago, IL

Law Firm Marketing: Give Yourself the Gift of More Referrals This Holiday Season

The holidays provide an excellent opportunity for attorneys to rededicate themselves to cultivating referrals for the upcoming year. Interestingly, many attorneys fall short when it comes to cultivating referral sources as part of their law firm marketing efforts.  

Below are six proven steps you can take in your law firm marketing and referral strategy to build a large referral base and to catalyze multiple, repeat referrals from each contact.

All are designed to keep your name and your reputation top of mind with your contacts and to reward and recognize them appropriately to encourage referrals short-term and long-term as part of your overall law firm marketing strategy.

1.       Get Contacts Thinking Referral: Don’t assume your contacts are thinking about referrals for you. Let them know your practice relies on referrals and how much you would appreciate them passing your name along.

2.       Immediate Appreciation: When a contact does refer you, call or send a thank-you note the very same day.  

3.       Reward: Within the next two days, send your referral source a small gift of appreciation like a gift card to Starbucks.

4.       Recognition: Once you’ve successfully scheduled a meeting with the potential client, e-mail your referral source to let them know you have scheduled that meeting and that you will update them again.

5.       Reward and Recognition 2: When the referral becomes a new client, send a “level 2 gift” to your referral source. A level 2 gift should be something your referral source will really value. However, be aware of dollar-amount gift limits your referrals are able to accept.  Also, be sure to include a personal note that tells your referral source the positive outcome of their recommendation. 

6.       Stay Top of Mind: Even when your referral sources haven’t referred, stay top of mind. Send a note to your contacts 1-2 times per year to your entire contact list thanking them for past and future referrals. The holidays provide you with the perfect opportunity to get back in touch.

Implement these six simple steps, and you will see a sharp increase in referrals while adding to the positive reputation you strive for in your law firm marketing efforts.

Law Firm Marketing: How to Go From Vendor to Strategic Partner

Not only is there a process you use to move your prospects through the pipeline, but there is also a process YOU want to move through as you develop a relationship with your client. Many service providers fail to move themselves through this process so they become "stuck" at the bottom level, relegated to being perceived by their client as a supplier or vendor.

The key is to use your knowledge, influence, connections, commitment, results and perceived value to the organization to move up from Vendor status to a Consistent Problem Solver, and eventually to the level where clients perceive you as a Critical Strategic Partner.

There are several reasons why moving from vendor status to a critical strategic partner is necessary:

It is critical to building a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with the client.

It will increase your profit margins. As a vendor, you must be very price conscious. When you become critical to their success, they value you and your services more, which allows you to significantly increase your profit margins.

It will assist you in retaining clients and building loyal clients who won't terminate your contract at the first sign of trouble.

It will increase your repeat business. The largest sale you receive from a company is usually not the first one. Often it is not until the 3'd or 4th sale that the client learns to really trust you and give you the big sale with the larger profits.

It enhances your credibility to have long-term, satisfied clients who are willing to provide references and referrals to their colleagues.

It is less stressful, because ultimately vendors are compared and replaced based on price. Critical Strategic Resources are not compared or replaced.

Learning to move from a vendor to a Critical Strategic Resource is just one of the things attorneys learn when they attend a Rainmaker Retreat.  For more information on our two-day law firm marketing boot camp, visit www.rainmakerretreat.com.

Is Your Law Firm Marketing Elevator Stuck Between Floors? Attend a Rainmaker Retreat!

I have just returned from a fantastic Rainmaker Retreat session last weekend in Chicago where I also had a not-so-fantastic personal experience of being stuck between floors in a hotel elevator!

Luckily, it wasn’t during a session – and it only took the fire department about 30 minutes to haul me out (literally). 

What a perfect analogy, though, for the struggles that so many small firms and solo practitioners are facing – being stuck between failure and success by a lack of knowledge about how to use proven law firm marketing strategies to “unstick” their practices and enjoy the ride to the top.

Read what some of the attorneys who attended our session in Chicago had to say about their experience:

“Stephen did an excellent job communicating the dynamics surrounding the rapidly changing landscape of legal marketing. I’m convinced the tools available through The Rainmaker Institute will enable me to jump start my practice and achieve the results I seek and desire.”
- Mark Slough, Partner

"Stephen is inspirational!  He understands the 'business of law' well and lawyers better.  I left the retreat motivated and with specific steps to implement to take my practice to the next level.  I highly recommend the Rainmaker Retreat ”
- Sharon Toerek, Partner

“The retreat contained tons of useful ideas that I expect to immediately implement in my practice.  The best part however is that Stephen is very motivational and lights a fire in you to be more successful in growing your business.”
- Adam Goodman, Partner

If you are stuck, then you owe it to yourself to attend a Rainmaker Retreat, where more than 8,000 attorneys have benefited from implementing our proven law firm marketing system. 

We have one more session scheduled in 2011, and two on the books so far for 2012:

December 2-3, 2011 – Los Angeles, CA

January 27-28, 2012 – Las Vegas, NV

February 10-11, 2012 – Orlando, FL

New Jersey Rainmaker Retreat Recap

Just back from our latest Rainmaker Retreat in New Jersey; we had a great bunch of attorneys who attended and I really enjoyed meeting them all. 

Here is what they discovered by attending a Rainmaker Retreat:

- Jeffrey Bloom

“Anyone who attends this seminar will have the tools to take their practice to the next level & the level after that.”
- Leressa Crockett

“The program was a wakeup call.  It helped me see where I need to improve client contact and focus on sales.”
- John O’Boyle

David Scarinci expressed his enthusiasm for attending the Rainmaker Retreat in New Jersey...even on a Saturday. Although he felt he understood marketing well, he took notes incessantly and gained a huge amount of valuable information. He hopes to implement it all!

Legal Marketing Seminar: Rainmaker Retreat Recap

The term res ipsa loquitur – “the thing speaks for itself” – is commonly used in negligence cases, but in the case of our Rainmaker Retreats, we believe results speak for themselves. Here are the verdicts from attendees of our 2-day legal marketing boot camp last weekend in San Francisco:

“I am grateful to those attorneys who did not attend, because I will be servicing their clients.”- Peter Brewer, Partner, Real Estate Law

“The program is very informative.” - John Cook, Partner, Business Litigation

“Comprehensive and practical advice.” - Bruce Givner, Estate & Income Tax Planning, Asset Protection Planning

“Tons of great, practical strategies. Worth every penny. ” - Jeff Lerman, Real Estate Transactions and Litigation

“Immersive and relevant. I am ready to go! Thank you.” - Whitney Cicero, Marketing Consultant

“This was the jumpstart I needed for getting serious about marketing.” - Jerry Lowe, Bankruptcy Law

“I haven’t been more excited about marketing in years. I love knowing that a lifestyle firm is within reach.” - Rachel Miller, Partner, Construction Law

“Clean, step-by-step discussion of how to get more clients.” - David Pastor, Criminal and Estate Planning Law

“An excellent organization that will, I’m sure, be one of the best investments you could possibly make.” - Allen Rosenthal, Bankruptcy Law

The Rainmaker Retreat is different from other marketing seminars in several ways:

First, it is specifically designed for Attorneys at small law firms and solo practitioners.  While attorneys at larger firms can benefit from the information presented, it is presented with the small law firm and solo attorney in mind.

Second, it is a working retreat.  You will be creating many of your plans during the retreat.

Third, it is NOT an introductory course. We work very hard to make the material easy to understand and simple to apply, but please understand this is an advanced, in-depth, hard-hitting course.

Fourth, it is designed to maximize your Return on Investment. Everything about this workshop is focused on one goal—helping you achieve the best results by finding more and better clients in the least amount of time using the least amount of money possible.

Fifth, it offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. We are so confident you will benefit from the Rainmaker Retreat that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied at the end of the first day, just let us know, turn your materials in and we will refund your money.

We have three more Rainmaker Retreat sessions scheduled for 2011:  

October 21-22, 2011: Livingston, NJ

November 11-12, 2011: Chicago, IL

December 2-3, 2011: Los Angeles, CA

When I talk to attorneys about the Rainmaker Retreat, our two-day law firm marketing boot camp, I always find a few who are not really sure what we teach will apply directly to their practice.

Bob Lesuer, Partner, Personal Injury litigation practice, Erie, PA:

Law Firm Marketing: How to Drive Clients...Away

Reaching into my blog fodder pile this morning, I pulled out a recent article by Ivana Taylor of DIY Marketers entitled, 9 Bad Behaviors That Are Sending Your Customers To Your Competitors

You can read the original in its entirety here.

I liked it because I saw – and have spoken about – the many actions outlined in the article that I see attorneys committing time and again. Usually, these lawyers are clueless about why their competition is attracting new clients and they are not. So, adapted for the legal profession, here are some surefire ways to drive clients away:

Push for a commitment. You should be measuring your success in terms of profit, not just revenue. If you are signing everyone who walks in your door or calls you on the phone, you are probably discovering that many are not your ideal client, and are wasting your precious time and resources without hope of a satisfactory outcome.

Fail to set expectations. Most relationships with clients that go south do so because of unmet expectations. Be realistic about the services you provide and the outcome they can expect, and do it up-front.

Ignore clients after they become clients. You don’t mean to ignore them, but you’re busy and time slips by. If you had a process in place for communicating with them regularly, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Talk over their heads. Some attorneys have a very bad habit of making clients feel stupid by using too many legal terms in conversation. Stay on your client’s level and always make sure they understood what you were trying to communicate.

Voicemail overload. When clients need you, they don’t like to keep leaving voicemail messages....worse still is a full voicemail box. Offer your cell phone number or a way they can reach you when they need you.

Don’t listen. Most clients just want to be heard, especially by their own attorneys. This takes time on your part, and an effort to understand their point of pain and how to solve it. 

Give them the handoff. Is the only time a client ever sees you is when they are ready to sign on the dotted line? If you only make an appearance when money is on the table and then hand clients off to junior associates, you have just created a major disconnect in the loyalty chain.

Counseling attorneys on how to get – and keep – good clients is the main focus of our two-day law firm marketing boot camp, the Rainmaker Retreat. There are four more sessions in 2011:

  • August 19-20, 2011: Las Vegas, NV
  • October 7-8, 2011: San Francisco, CA
  • October 21-22, 2011: Livingston, NJ
  • December 2-3, 2011: Los Angeles, CA

Early-bird registration for the October and December Rainmaker Retreats is still available for a limited time. A special VIP registration is also available for attorneys looking for more personalized attention. We also offer special discounts for two or more people attending from the same firm.

Registration information is available by visiting the Rainmaker Retreat website, www.RainmakerRetreat.com or by calling 888-588-5891.

Attorneys Provide Reviews of Latest Rainmaker Retreat

After every Rainmaker Retreat session, we ask for feedback from attendees to ensure we’re providing them with the best possible value for the money they’ve invested. Here are some samples from our Rainmaker Retreat session last month in Orlando:

“I’ve practiced law for 20 years, trying over 250 jury trials in more than 20 jurisdictions. I’ve learned more in 2 days about attracting and keeping business than I have in my career.”
- D. Cogdell, Partner, Criminal Defense, Houston, TX

“The Rainmaker Retreat gives you the secret formula to take your law firm from bland to bloom!”
- G. Morales, Partner, Tax & Estate Planning, Miami, FL

“The best and the most integrated seminar on law firm marketing that I have attended.”
- D. Trzeciecka, Solo, Bankruptcy, Surfside, FL

“This event provides a nuts and bolts work session that empowers an attorney to structure a successful practice – providing the tools, the how-to and support.”
- S. Pyle, Solo, Personal Injury, Winter Park, FL

Have You Planned For Law Firm Marketing Success?

The best attorneys have achieved success because they started with a law firm marketing plan. No matter how big you dream or how much effort you put into your practice, you will constantly lose your way on the path to success unless you create and follow a well-defined plan.

Now, that's not to say you can't change things along the way. In fact, you should adjust your plan as the markets change, your goals change, and your prospect's needs change. However, by starting out with a road map that will lead you where you want to go, you'll have a solid foundation in place so you can become a successful lawyer.

Here are three things that all your law firm marketing plans must revolve around if you want to reach your dreams:

1. You: If your plans aren't based on what you want to achieve, then you'll have a very difficult time putting in the work that is necessary. Don't worry about what the attorney on the other side of town is doing, find out what you want to accomplish and then figure out the steps that will take you there.

2. Your Prospects: The only way you are going to be successful as a lawyer is if you consistently meet the needs of your key prospects. If you don't understand what they are looking for and where they're searching to find it, then your plans might be leading you in the wrong direction! By doing proper research before you let the pen hit the paper, you'll ensure that your marketing plan is leading you towards success.

3. Measurable Goals: A law firm marketing plan is only good if it provides you with a sequential list of measurable goals you want to accomplish. Many professionals recommend setting five-year goals, one-year goals, 90-day goals and monthly goals. If you can't figure out where you are in your marketing plan, then you'll always be sitting at the start. However, if you lay out a strategy that takes you from one step to the next without missing a beat, you'll be heading full-steam towards success.

Attending a Rainmaker Retreat will help you create the marketing plan that will help you achieve your wildest dreams, and teach you how to go beyond the planning stage and into implementation.

The Key Question You Should Answer About Attending A Rainmaker Retreat

If you're on the fence about coming to a Rainmaker Retreat...let me ask you a question: If we can teach you a proven system that brings in several new clients every month, how much would that system be worth to you?

The Rainmaker Retreat includes:

  • Over 65 proven ways to grow your law firm
  • 10 ways to dominate your competitors online
  • An 8-step method for tripling your referrals in 90 days

If you truly want to build a 7-figure law firm, then you need to attend an upcoming Rainmaker Retreat:

  • Orlando, FL:  Friday, July 22 & Saturday, July 23
  • Las Vegas, NV:  Friday, Aug. 19 & Saturday, Aug. 20
  • San Francisco, CA:  Friday, Oct. 7 and Saturday, Oct. 8
  • Los Angeles, CA:  Friday, Dec. 3 & Saturday, Dec. 4

Is a Rainmaker Retreat “Rah, Rah?”  Nah.

"One thing I’m really taking away from this seminar is it’s not just a feel good, everybody go out there “rah rah” seminar. There were specific things that were taught and the biggest thing I’ve learned is how to leverage blogging which I’m already doing, into press releases and articles to really get the word out there and that’s what I’m going to concentrate on." – Greg May, Partner, Appeals Attorney

Dog & pony?  No, more like old dogs learning new tricks:

"I am completing the seminar today and probably the most important thing I’ve learned is you can teach an old dog new tricks. A lot of the things I was doing right I stumbled upon. The things that I liked about this seminar are that it’s not theory; it’s things you can apply to your practice immediately. For instance one of the things I will use is the ‘keep-in-touch’ letter. By that I can keep in touch with clients that I may have lost contact with and that’s a major source of referrals so that’s something I can put into use immediately." -- Jim Hearn, Esq., Partner, Real Estate

Law Firm Marketing Boot Camp: 5 Reasons Why a Rainmaker Retreat is Different

Have you ever gone to a seminar that left you feeling motivated, but you walked out with little more than a good feeling? Or taken a workshop that was great on style, but short on substance?

Ever been to an event that was nothing more than a “pitch fest” that left a bad taste in your mouth? We know exactly how you feel. We have all been to those kinds of events and we hate all those things too. 

So what makes a Rainmaker Retreat different than any other legal marketing seminar?  These 5 things:

1. Specifically Designed for Owners and Managing Partners at Small Law Firms and Solo Practitioners. While Associates, Of Counsel, and Partners at large firms (50+ attorneys) are welcome to attend and will receive benefit from attending, the Rainmaker Retreat is specifically designed to meet the needs, challenges, and financial budgets of solo practitioners and small law firms.

You won't find any strategies that cost tens of thousands of dollars in this seminar. In fact, many of our strategies have little to no cost and with many of them we will tell you how to trade more of your time instead of spending your money if you're marketing your practice on a shoe-string budget. Nor will you hear about generic marketing ideas that only work if you have a large staff or a separate marketing department.

2. This is an Advanced Legal Marketing Workshop. We work very hard to make the material easy to understand and simple to apply, but please understand this is an advanced, in-depth, hard-hitting law firm marketing course!

If you are just starting out or have never done legal marketing or business development before you will likely find the volume and depth of our strategies to be a little overwhelming at times.  A common remark we hear from experienced attorneys is that attending the Rainmaker Retreat is like “trying to drink from a fire hydrant” because we will provide you will dozens of time tested legal marketing strategies each day of the workshop.

At the Rainmaker Retreat, you will not hear any generic marketing advice like “just buy more Yellow Page ads” or “try to get more referrals from clients.” The Rainmaker Retreat focuses on in-depth discussions of cutting-edge strategies and revealing secrets of highly successful attorneys used by only an elite group of lawyers.

3. You will be taught How to Track and Measure Every Legal Marketing Effort! You will find a big emphasis on tracking the results of your attorney marketing efforts so if you are a numbers kind of person you will LOVE the Rainmaker Retreat!

There are 3 major areas you need to analyze and every one of your current challenges is directly related to problems in one or more of these 3 areas. We will teach you what the 3 areas are and how to use this tool to diagnose your problems and what “marketing treatment” you need to prescribe.

4. You will learn a Proven Lead Conversion System. The biggest area attorneys overlook in their legal marketing efforts is how to convert more prospects into paying clients. You will learn the 5 numbers you need to track in your law firm.

We will give you the tools and teach you how to use them so you can start tracking: (1) where every incoming lead is coming from, (2) how many of those leads turn into appointments, (3) how many appointments show up, (4) how many of those appointments retain at the initial consult, and (5) how many retain at a later date. We will introduce you to our Rainmaker Follow Up System that can be used to determine your Cost Per Lead (CPL) and Cost Per Client (CPC).

5. It is a Working Retreat. This means that several times each day you will be given specific marketing tasks to complete with step-by-step instructions. You not only come to listen, learn and discover, but also to practice and apply.

The next Rainmaker Retreat is May 13-14, 2011 at the Millenium Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. 

Co-sponsored by CLE West, this session may qualify for 9 hours of MCLE credit, including 1 hour of Ethics credit.

Law Firm Marketing: San Diego Rainmaker Retreat is April 8-9

April showers bring...Rainmakers! 

The April 8-9 Rainmaker Retreat in San Diego will feature rainmaking on the inside and abundant sunshine on the outside, and is a perfect getaway for attorneys with a touch of spring fever and a yearning for ways to create that lifestyle law practice you’ve always wanted.

In addition, those attending the San Diego Rainmaker Retreat will receive 3.5 hours of general MCLE credit.  This event is being co-hosted by the San Diego County Bar Association and Consumer Attorneys of San Diego.

Here are some comments from attendees of prior Rainmaker Retreats:

"I was skeptical of the cost vs. value. Once I attended the Rainmaker Retreat, I was amazed at the value! I unreservedly recommend to anyone wanting to grow their practice."
- Jim Underhill, Partner, Consumer Law, Greenwood Village, CO

"The program opened my eyes to strategies and concepts that I had never thought of in building my practice. It was a great experience.”
- Jack Lavine, Solo, Personal Injury, Phoenix, AZ

"I am extremely thankful I met Stephen Fairley and that I attended his Rainmaker Retreat.  I more than doubled my firm's annual revenue in the year since attending the Rainmaker Retreat and implementing Stephen's marketing program.  If you are willing to do the work, Stephen definitely has a proven method of driving new business into your firm. I endorse his program, it clearly worked for me."
- Gordon R. Levinson, Esq., Levinson Law Group, Carlsbad, CA

"I have over a dozen law firm marketing practices that I intend to implement within the first 90 days... none of which I was doing prior or had even considered."
- Wilson Soto, Family/Divorce Law, Yonkers, NY

Here is just a small sample of the actionable methods you will learn at the Rainmaker Retreat:

  • Specific strategies highly successful attorneys are using right now on the Internet and with social media to attract hundreds of people to their websites and blogs every month, convert them to paying clients, and keep them coming back and sending a steady stream of referrals!
  • Dozens of ways to drastically reduce the cost of your marketing campaigns and still get more clients than you might believe possible.
  • How to implement low cost marketing tools and systems that let you control your practice - instead of your practice controlling you!

Spring Clean Your Law Firm Marketing Program at a Rainmaker Retreat

Spring is officially here...could your law firm marketing program use a little spring cleaning?  Then you should consider attending a Rainmaker Retreat. 

Let me tell you why:

 

I hope you can tell how excited I am about the Rainmaker Retreat, my 2 day marketing boot camp where we take ordinary attorneys and show them how to re-invent their law firms and easily double their sales and profit.

The fact that the Internet has revolutionized the way you can get new clients isn't news, but there is a tested and proven system that will deliver more new clients per month than maybe you got all last year.

I want to share this with you, so that you can develop the law firm of your dreams; one that is professionally satisfying and provides you with an exceptional income so that you can lead a self directed life.

Skeptical? I can't blame you.

These are bold claims to be sure. I invite you to investigate the Rainmaker Retreat website and see what your colleagues - attorneys just like you - are saying about it, and get the details of the locations, dates, and how to reserve your seat.

www.RainmakerRetreat.com

I assure you that you will agree that this was your best business decision you made so far this year.
Spaces fill up quickly, and I intentionally limit the size of the retreat so that everyone gets individual attention in a more intimate setting. You will leave the retreat and see your law firm with new eyes and have a clear vision on how to begin making the practice of your dreams.

Hope to see you there!

How to Tell if You're Ready for a Rainmaker Retreat

If you are like many attorneys I know, you have been practicing awhile, and your law firm is doing all right; but you go to sleep at night with this uneasy feeling that you should be making a lot more money by now and achieving a level of success that still seems to elude you.

Perhaps the current economy has hit you hard, maybe your revenues and profits are falling faster than you want to admit, and you are finding it harder to land qualified clients.

Your overhead is the same, but with revenues being down, you are taking home less now than ever before.

If this sounds like you, then you are ready for the Rainmaker Retreat.

The Rainmaker Retreat focuses on the unique problems facing small law firms and solo practices. Here is just a small sample of the actionable methods you will learn:

  • Specific strategies highly successful attorneys are using right now on the Internet and with social media to attract hundreds of people to their websites and blogs every month, convert them to paying clients, and keep them coming back and sending a steady stream of referrals!
  • Dozens of ways to drastically reduce the cost of your marketing campaigns and still get more clients than you might believe possible.
  • How to implement low cost marketing tools and systems that let you control your practice - instead of your practice controlling you!

We are so confident you will benefit from the Rainmaker Retreat that we offer a 100% money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied at the end of the first day, just let us know, turn your materials in and we will refund your money.

You have nothing to lose and so much to gain by attending.  Here’s what criminal defense attorney Kevin Leckerman had to say after attending a Rainmaker Retreat last Fall:

“I attended the Rainmaker Retreat for two days in October of 2010.   The quality of information provided concerning bringing new clients to my law firm and running a more efficient business was amazing.  I left the Retreat with a notebook filled of ideas that I could immediately implement.

After one month of utilizing the principles that I learned at the Rainmaker Retreat, I could already see positive changes in my law practice.  The number of calls from potential clients increased.   The number of potential clients converted to actual clients increased.  Moreover, the Retreat taught me how to put powerful systems in place to handle the influx of new business.  I give Stephen Fairley and the Rainmaker Institute my highest recommendation.”

Our next Rainmaker Retreat is February 25-26 in Orlando – go to www.rainmakerretreat.com or call 888-588-5891 to register now.

Other upcoming Rainmaker Retreat dates:

  • March 11-12, 2011 – New Brunswick, NJ

Bring Your Law Firm Marketing Out of the Shadows at a Rainmaker Retreat

Happy Groundhog Day!  Punxsutawney Phil poked his head up this morning and predicted an early spring – right in the middle of one of the largest snow and ice storms in U.S. history.

Meteorology has progressed significantly in the past 125 years, which is how long Phil has been predicting winter weather.  We no longer rely on a groundhog for our forecasts – and you shouldn’t rely on guesswork either when it comes to law firm marketing.

Our Las Vegas Rainmaker Retreat last weekend was chock full of attorneys anxious to learn over 65 proven, step-by-step legal marketing strategies.

At each session, I pull back the curtain and teach you how hundreds of my top clients have gone from having a good six figure practice to a fantastic 7 figure practice, from working every day and every weekend, to taking 3 to 4 months of first class vacations every year, of going from making a 6 figure income to consistently having a Net Operating Income of 7 figures.

Still skeptical? Good! So was almost every other attorney who has ever attended our Rainmaker Retreat! They may have been skeptical before they came, but they left believers!

“Great information on marketing. I intend to immediately start implementing Stephen’s ideas. The insights provided in this retreat would take years of trial & error to figure out on my own.” 
- Patrick Devine, Solo

“Stephen provided some great advice and gave me immediate steps to implement in helping my firm retain more clients and give better service. I highly recommend the Rainmaker seminar!”
- Thomas Wallin, Partner

“Very helpful and detailed on issues related to web site marketing. A very complex topic, simplified.”
- Andrew Rzepiennik, Partner

Great practical advice on marketing and growing your legal practice. I learned more in 2 days than I have over the past year of building my practice!”
- Becki Kammerling, Solo

Marketing for the 21st century! You need to change your marketing plan now! This seminar will show you how! Very valuable!”
- Thomas Downey, Jr., Partner

“Great! Useful, current information that will help my bottom line.”
- Elga Goodman, Solo, Estate Planning

I intentionally limit the number of people who attend the Rainmaker Retreat. This is no ‘mega-seminar’ with hundreds of people and a new sales pitch every hour. The number of attendees is kept at a level that allows each attorney to receive individual attention in an intimate setting. You will leave with a complete written Marketing Action Plan (MAP) that you will be eager to get going the first day back in your office.

Here are the dates for upcoming Rainmaker Retreats:

  • February 25-26, 2011 - Orlando, Florida
  • March 11-12, 2011 - New Brunswick, New Jersey
  • April 8-9, 2011 - San Diego, CA

If you take advantage of the Early Bird Special (only available when you register at least 2 weeks in advance of the event), you receive $300 worth of extra benefits!

For more information please call: 888-588-5891 or visit www.RainmakerRetreat.com.

Law Firm Marketing: Win Big in Vegas by Learning The Law of 7

If you’re playing craps, rolling a 7 makes you a winner.

In law firm marketing, the Law of 7 makes you a winner, too. 

What is the Law of 7?  Legal marketing statistics show that it takes an average of 7 contacts to land a new client.

Consider the following statistics regarding contact with prospective clients:

  • 48% of lawyers give up after the first contact.
  • 25% give up after the second contact.
  • 12% give-up after the third contact.
  • 5% give-up after the fourth contact.

In other words, 9 out of 10 prospective clients are never followed-up with more than 4 times.

This amounts to leaving money on the table. Why? Because of “The Law of 7.”

If you want your law firm marketing to be successful, you must obey “The Law of 7.”

You’re probably thinking, “I know I should connect frequently and consistently with my prospective clients, but don’t have the time.”

True. That’s why you should learn how to connect automatically with those clients. It’s essential you leverage the power of technology to build relationships with your prospects.

What you need is a strategy and a process that leverages the most recent advancements in technology (autoresponders, social media, blogs, for example) to simplify and automate your marketing efforts, building rock solid, long-term relationships and helping you earn more, work less and spend time doing what you love to do.

I’ll be teaching this – and many, many more law firm marketing strategies – at the Las Vegas Rainmaker Retreat on January 28-29.  So don’t crap out – sign up now at www.rainmakerretreat.com or call 888-588-5891.

The 2011 Rainmaker Retreat schedule for the first quarter includes the following dates and locations:

Here’s what Kevin Leckerman, a Pennsylvania and New Jersey DUI defense attorney who attended a Rainmaker Retreat in October, had to say about his experience in a recent blog post:

I give Stephen Fairley and the Rainmaker Institute my highest recommendation."

The Rainmaker Retreat is different from other marketing seminars in several ways:

  1. It is specifically designed for attorneys at small law firms and solo practitioners.  While attorneys at larger firms can benefit from the information presented, it is presented with the small law firm and solo attorney in mind.
  2. It is a working retreat.  You will be creating many of your plans during the retreat.
  3. It is NOT an introductory course. We work very hard to make the material easy to understand and simple to apply, but please understand this is an advanced, in-depth, hard-hitting course.
  4. It is designed to maximize the your Return on Investment. Everything about this workshop is focused on one goal—helping you achieve the best results by finding more and better clients in the least amount of time using the least amount of money possible.
  5. It offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied at the end of the first day, just let us know, turn your materials in and we will refund your money.

Legal marketing was the topic of the weekend at New Jersey Rainmaker Retreat

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of meeting with a group of attorneys in New Jersey who are committed to improving the effectiveness of their law firm marketing strategies.  The group I met with was energetic and eager to learn ways that they could grow their business to the level they dreamed of when they first started their firm.

There were a couple of topics that everyone was hungry to learn more about – social media and creating systems that will lead to business success.  Social media has been a hot topic for the past couple of years.  The growth of sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook has fueled a revolution in how legal marketers ply their trade. 

Everyone at the NJ Rainmaker Retreat wanted to know how they can leverage these new technologies to multiply their existing marketing programs and gain greater access to their target markets.  One of the exciting aspects of social media is the ability to receive real-time feedback and have two-way conversations with prospective clients.

Systems was another hot topic of the weekend.  Learning how to create and implement marketing and business operation systems that allow you to build your firm to the level that you dreamed of when you started out on this venture.  The material was well-received and attendees were furiously taking notes and asking questions throughout the weekend.

If you haven’t taken the time to attend a Rainmaker Retreat, hear the words of David Salvaggio, an attorney attending his first Rainmaker Retreat:

I just returned from the two-day Rainmaker Retreat Program sponsored by the NJSBA and the Essex County Bar Association. It was a fantastic program!  Stephen Fairley gave an extremely engaging presentation on behalf of the Rainmaker Institute.  On a scale of 1 to 10, the Program and Mr. Fairley were a perfect 10! Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to attend the Program.  

Go to Rainmakerretreat.com to see the schedule of upcoming retreats.  It is a weekend that will change your life, and law firm, forever.
