LAW FIRM FOCUS GROUPS
Why Did I Lose That Client?
Have you ever wondered why someone signed a retainer with your competitor and not you? Was it your messaging? Was it your experience? A targeted focus group in your area will give you insights into your potential clients. Learn how they would search for an attorney, who they would call and why? Focus groups have been used by companies, political parties and yes, law firms. I’m sure you’ve heard of lawyers using a focus group to gauge how a jury will react to to a lawyers argument. This tactic is seen as effective and valuable to influence one case but the information collected in a marketing focus group can be used for every potential client you encounter.
What You Will Learn
Collecting data from your potential clients in your market is invaluable. Some answers will be unique but after completing the process there will be an accumulation of actionable data that will improve your conversion rates. Your focus group will show you the decision process from the time someone starts to look for an attorney online including:
- What resources they will use
- What search terms they will use
- What they would click on and why
- Who they would call first and why
People’s attention spans are short, especially when they are online. It is too easy to just click “Back” and go to the next result if a person doesn’t get the information they are looking for. But, what is that information? What did the person read? What image did they see that changed them from a visitor to a caller? Learning why people are clicking the “Back” button and not the “Contact Us” button can change the course of your practice? Once you know why someone is calling your competition first you can actually do something about it.
