Course Description

Although law firms rely on pitches to fuel their businesses, most associates don’t understand all of the BD activities required to make a winning precision pitch. (Even worse, they don’t want to know, because they didn’t go to law school to become “salesmen”.) As a result, they can’t assist partners in key stages of the business development cycle.

In this course, you will not only obtain a global understanding of the BD process but also acquire practical techniques to succeed during key stages. More importantly, you will have the opportunity to become comfortable in challenging client-contact situations by participating in engaging meeting role-plays.

Training Outcomes

After the course, you will be able to do the following:

  • Earn the trust, and business, of clients by learning to listen.

  • Intelligently investigate the needs of clients in order to promote the appropriate value propositions of your firm.

  • Effectively utilize post-matter discussions and other easy client-contact situations to uncover business opportunities.

Sample Topics

  • What questions will help you identify the hidden needs of clients and gain a sales edge over your competition?

  • How to understand and overcome the psychological obstacles that prevent most lawyers from engaging in basic networking and client contact activities?

  • How to persuade clients to give you meaningful feedback in order to boost the quality of your service and position yourself as their long-term business partner?
