According to a survey by Axiom, 4 out of 5 lawyers agree there is a disconnect between what clients want and what law firms provide. But when you are busy doing legal work and trying to bring in business, examining the client experience often takes a back seat.
However, providing exceptional client service is crucial for law firm growth, and every touchpoint matters when it comes to turning leads into clients. Even if you consistently hit your marketing goals, you still need to convince more prospects that you are the right firm for them to see growth. But it shouldn’t feel like a lot of extra work. 💼✨
