Law firm marketing encompasses various strategies, and while analyzing your practice management might seem daunting, focusing on your current client base is crucial. One effective approach is grading your clients.The ABCD Grading Method
For impactful law firm marketing, consider the time-tested "ABCD clients" approach, widely used by service professionals. This method not only improves marketing but also enhances client service.
Much like schools use a grading system, you can grade your clients to evaluate their value to your practice. An "A" client has reasonable expectations, follows instructions, appreciates your work, and treats your staff with respect. These clients pay on time, don't question fees, and often refer similar high-quality clients. They typically present interesting and substantial cases?"precisely the type you aim to attract.
Remember the saying, "birds of a feather flock together"? "A" clients can introduce you to more of their kind, expanding your network effortlessly.
A "B" client shares many traits of an "A" client but not all. A "C" client, however, borders on a "D" client, who is entirely opposite to an "A." "D" clients have unreasonable expectations, pay bills late or not at all, challenge fees, ignore instructions, and are often unprofessional. They rarely refer quality clients, and their cases lack substance.
In your law firm marketing strategy, avoid targeting "C & D" clients. These clients typically consume 60-80% of your time while providing only 20-40% of revenue. Does it make sense to pursue such business? Clearly not. Ethically distancing yourself from "C & D" clients?"even starting with just the "Ds"?"can be liberating.
Effective marketing for law firms focuses on maximizing benefits from the best clients. By removing "C & D" clients, you can dedicate more energy to satisfying "A & B" clients, resolving their cases faster, and generating more referrals and business.
Moreover, reducing or eliminating time spent on "C & D" clients allows you to concentrate on growing your "A & B" referral network. This refined marketing approach will attract more high-quality business.
Working with over 500 attorneys, I've found that most need to narrow their practice areas to one, two, or maybe three to effectively eliminate "C & D" cases. Many attorneys practice "threshold law," taking anything that comes to their door. By choosing lucrative, cross-sellable areas like wills and trusts, real estate, or estate planning, you can focus your marketing efforts on these specializations.
While this shift may seem intimidating at first, the long-term benefits are worth it. You'll not only boost your revenue but also enhance client satisfaction, leading to a thriving practice focused on your ideal clients.
