Seth Price: Why Most Law Firm Marketing Fails and What to Do Instead
Manage episode 490354551 series 3540135
In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Seth Price discuss:
- Challenges of marketing and business development for lawyers and law firms
- Strategic differences between B2B and B2C legal marketing
- Importance of content creation and personal branding in legal marketing
- Lessons from entrepreneurial growth and mistakes in legal and digital ventures
Key Takeaways:
- Lawyers in B2B markets should avoid SEO as a first strategy and instead build relationships through networking, targeted events, or personalized outreach.
- Creating consistent, niche-specific content on LinkedIn is a powerful yet underutilized strategy for establishing authority in legal fields.
- Delegating legal versus business responsibilities within a firm can allow for more focused and scalable growth, as seen in the speaker's dual-leadership model.
- Trying to network with senior lawyers often yields less return than building long-term relationships with peers who grow into referral sources over time.
"If you create great content over time... you may not get a ton of interaction, but the people that are interested are going to find it, and you're going to be that guy." — Seth Price
