A Guide to Marketing and Building Long-Term Relationships for Attorneys with Charley Mann (Ep. 14)

One of the most important skills for any professional is effective communication with clients and prospects.

This is especially true for estate planning attorneys, who deal with complex and sensitive matters that require trust.

However, many lawyers struggle with marketing their services and building long-term relationships with their clients.

In this episode, Greg DuPont talks with Charley Mann, Founder of Law Firm Alchemy, about the importance of relationship-building and marketing in the legal profession. They challenge the conventional transactional mindset of attorneys and emphasize the need for a more client-centric approach. They also explore the evolving business model of law firms and the potential shift from specialization to generalization.

  • The purpose of marketing and the difference between building awareness and getting clients
  • Why shift from a transactional to a relationship-based approach
  • The responsibility of staying connected with clients
  • The importance of personalized and targeted marketing strategies for law firms
  • The concept of information-based direct response marketing 
  • The traditional model of specialization in estate planning and the move towards a more generalized approach
