SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
All right, there is no such thing as a magic bullet
when it comes to legalmarketing.
I wish that wasn't the case.
I've been doing long this longenough to know there just is no
such thing as a magic bullet.
And you actually set yourselfback big time if you think there
is such a thing as a magicbullet, right?
That's why attorneys end upbouncing from marketing provider
to marketing provider becausethey're looking for something

(00:20):
that really just doesn't exist.
Listen, there's at least threethings that need to be present
to make a marketing campaignsuccessful.
One, you need a way to generateleads.
Okay, you need to find newpotential clients who are
interested or have a need foryour services, your practicer.
That's one, you gotta go findthose people.

(00:40):
But don't expect that they'reall gonna sign up with you
immediately.
So that is why you need sort ofstage two of this, which is a
system to nurture those leads.
That might look like emailmarketing, that could look like
retargeting, could look there'sa lot of different formats you
can take.
But the bottom line is onceyou've identified a lead and
gotten them to raise their hand,you still need to nurture them.

(01:01):
It might only be 24 hours ofnurture, it could be three years
worth of nurture, depending onyour practice area.
You need to nurture your leads.
And the point of nurturing yourleads is to get them to schedule
a consultation, right?
Whether that's a paid, free,whatever your model is, you need
them to actually go ahead andschedule a consultation.

(01:21):
And then you need a sales andintake process that's going to
convert them into a payingclient.
You can't skip the steps.
I would love to tell you that Ihave a magic bullet that's going
to do all of that for you.
It takes work, it takesstrategy, it takes testing.
You're not looking for a magicbullet.
You are looking to build amachine that generates leads,
nurtures leads, creates actualsales opportunities, converts

(01:45):
them into paying.
