In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sean Klunder discuss:

Why law firms tend to run behind other types of businesses in marketing.
Understanding your SEO strategy.
Individual lawyer marketing versus law firm marketing.
Alignment and consistency in messaging in all areas of your firm.
Watch out for fool’s gold to ensure you’re swimming in the blue ocean.

Key Takeaways:

There is a difference between Marketing and marketing. Without a strategy, it is all just random acts of marketing.
Sales patterns have changed over the last few years. People are taking themselves 60-70% through the sales cycle online digitally before ever contacting the law firm.
Identify your unique differentiator. Use the three pillars to help identify that: what do you do, who do you help, and what makes you different.
Be targeted to who you’re disseminating your message. Where are those targets digitally? Are you also there?

"It is really important to have that strategic focus before jumping directly into the tactical execution." — Sean Klunder
