Questions to ask…
- Were my original metrics specific and achievable?
- How do my results compare to my initial expectations?
- Did I learn anything else about the clients and services I attract?

Consider extra benefits
Digital marketing in the legal sector can often feel like an uphill struggle. Standing out in a crowded (and often similar) marketplace is a constant problem, especially for an industry still getting to grips with how to best promote practices online, and how to compete online against local law firms and national brands.It’s a topic our legal sales manager discussed in the LegalEx Virtual session ‘Delivering on your potential: Succeeding in the digital marketplace’. We’ve also extensively covered the subject over on our Business Support hub.
But more and more people are online. And more and more of them are happy using legal professionals from anywhere in the country.
The legal-digital shift is real.
