My job is to draw out insights and craft a marketing strategy that reflects a firm's specific situation, available resources, and firm culture. I start by talking to your clients. Focusing on why your clients see your firm as the best choice will change how you think about marketing your firm.
I teach my clients how to grow their firms using fewer resources (money and time) by changing the way they think about their market opportunity and how they focus. In the process, they build better businesses.
A better approach creates better results.

The obvious way to expand, and the one widely adopted their industry, was to add a compliance and remediation practice to the firm’s litigation support and engineering practices. Firm leadership rejected this strategy, feeling strongly ... Read more
With considerable excitement, the founders of an educational services firm extended its course management offering by acquiring a set of curriculum tools and a consulting services group.
Instead of accelerating growth as expected, it stalled. Few schools bought more than one offering. None bought all three. Worse, the triple business unit structure led to internal fights over resources.

Especially where business development is concerned, some activity that worked or might have worked in the past is very hard to stop. The answer ... Read more
