    BOL: Differentiation

    Over my career in technology, I have seen great products fail because of terrible marketing, and lousy products succeed because of skilled marketing. If you look at your peer firms, I suggest you’ll find the same is true for service organizations like law firms. The product is different of course – but the sentiment is the same.

    In this context, Bruce MacEwen pens an insightful article about the importance of differentiating your product – differentiation being a cornerstone of marketing which includes brand strategy. The article highlights a recent PwC survey that identified key attributes that make for a ‘superior’ customer experience… ..’ ‘differentiated [brand] strategy’ means your firm is a destination for something in particular; when a client is need of that particular type of service or practice specialty, you should by rights be on the short list”.

    The article offers an indirect commentary about the important of ‘service level’ – that fungible attribute of your business that is part client expectation, client perception, and firm execution (from the first phone call to the final ‘case closing’ interview).. PS: your firm is delivering a service level – whether intentional, or not. Food for thought.

    Vol. 7, No. 420

  • BOL: Freight Contracts Contracts – the bane of every law department and – for some years now – I have suggested are a business opportunity for law firms. The future is now as described in this article discussing BakerHostetler’s smart-contract product targeted at freight transportation.

    The challenge – constantly changing fuel prices. The solution – a smart contract that can look at public fuel price data. Extrapolate that to commodities prices of any sort, interest rates, … well, you get the picture.

    Oh if Henry Flagler could see us now!

    • Selling: The Key Account Executive

    BOL: The Key Account Executive

    “Sales” seems to be a dirty word in the legal industry… after all, law firms are hired because of the track record for winning caes. Sure but.. In every industry I can think of, the function of “Sales” gets top billing. To state the obvious – sales is what feeds the organizational machine.

    Thanks to Syliva Coulter for this article that highlights a key position in the sales function – that of the Key Account Executive .. this is the person who’s role is to support the sales effort around one (or just a few) ‘key accounts’.

    I’ll bet you can identify those key accounts – the 20% of your client list accounting for 80% of your revenue – off the top of your head. And no doubt you can identify the Partner responsible for each of those clients. Now consider the level of support focused around new business with that client, that Partner garners from the firm. This is where Key Account Executives come in.. Food for thought.
