INSIGHT

Better Clients Trump More Leads

  • Most firms think they need more leads but actually need better clients to improve their business.
  • Better client mix fixes sales, operations, and firm enjoyment more than higher lead volume.
ADVICE

Build Client Avatars From Real Clients

  • Print your client roster and mark the 10 best clients from the last 2–3 years to create a reality-based client avatar.
  • Use those real clients as the foundation for your marketing message rather than hypothetical 'unicorn' profiles.
ADVICE

Identify Worst Clients To Filter Leads

  • Also identify your 10 worst clients and compare patterns between best and worst to see what to attract and avoid.
  • Keep this profile written down and share it with your marketing team to filter leads effectively.
