17 Essential Considerations Before Hiring a Law Marketing Consultant
Summary:
As the new year approaches, many firms are gearing up to launch their marketing strategies. If you're contemplating enlisting a marketing expert, keep these 17 crucial points in mind.1. Objective Advice: Opt for consultants who earn fees instead of commissions. Commission-based consultants may have conflicts of interest since they benefit from increased spending.
2. Experience: Look for a consultant with at least 15 years in the field. However, years alone don't guarantee expertise?"thoroughly interview potential candidates to assess their knowledge and skills.
3. Workload: Determine if the consultant will actively develop your strategy or merely coach you on what needs to be done.
4. Service: Assess whether the consultant genuinely wants to help your program succeed or if you feel like just another client in their portfolio.
5. Access: Ensure the consultant is easily accessible via phone, email, or other means, instead of being shielded by layers of intermediaries.
6. Stability: Verify the consultant’s track record in marketing, particularly in the legal arena, to ensure they aren’t using your firm as a stepping stone.
7. Marketing Focus: Choose a full-time marketing professional, rather than someone dabbling in multiple disciplines like management or finance.
8. Authority: Is the consultant recognized in their field? Opt for someone with established credibility and expertise.
9. Size and Efficiency: Confirm if you’re paying for substantial overhead costs or benefiting from the consultant’s expertise directly.
10. Markups: Check if external services are provided at cost or if there are additional markups.
11. Travel: Consider whether the consultant's travel expenses will inflate costs, or if they primarily work remotely to maintain efficiency.
12. Coverage: In their absence, does the consultant have a qualified backup who understands your marketing needs?
13. Attention: Ensure the consultant can offer personalized care and doesn’t stretch themselves thin with too many clients.
14. Work Ownership: Identify whether the consultant will directly handle your project or delegate tasks to junior staff.
15. Specialization: Prefer consultants who focus exclusively on one marketing type rather than attempting to cover several areas superficially.
16. Writing Skills: Effective marketing requires excellent writing. Evaluate the consultant’s articles and materials to see if their style suits your needs.
17. Testimonials: Request at least 30-40 testimonials. A limited number might not reliably reflect their work quality.
With these points in mind, you’ll be better prepared to select a law marketing consultant who aligns with your firm's goals.
