Law Firm Marketing and Overcoming the "I Hate Selling" Syndrome
Understanding the Fear of Selling
Do you dislike selling? Why is that? What does "selling" really mean, and how might this aversion affect your client service and revenue? If you choose to embrace selling, or already enjoy it, how can you cultivate that passion?
Redefining Selling in Law Firm Marketing
In the realm of law firm marketing, your definition of "selling" makes all the difference. Many view selling with negativity, akin to aggressive sales tactics in the car dealership world. However, if you see selling as guiding clients to make decisions in their best interest, without prioritizing your own needs, then it’s a skill to cherish. Selling, in this context, is essential for successful lawyer marketing.
Building Sales Skills for Attorneys
As a law firm marketing coach, I recommend the following strategies for building sales skills:
1. Embrace Buyer Facilitation: Focus on assisting potential clients through their decision-making process.
2. Explore Consultative Sales Models: Many attorneys lack formal sales training, so becoming familiar with applicable sales models is crucial.

Selling with Integrity by Sharon Drew Morgan
My top recommendation is Sharon Drew Morgan’s "Selling with Integrity". Her model focuses on "buyer facilitation," a modern approach that prioritizes creating win-win situations. This method builds on traditional and consultative sales models to enhance client interaction.
