A Long History of Success

For over fifteen years, we have been helping attorneys at leading law firms produce significant growth in their originations. You can read about all our results on the Success Stories page, but here are a few highlights:

  • A 3rd year litigation partner, in a 90-person litigation boutique, grew her originations from $0 to $5,000,000 in three years.
  • A 10th year corporate partner, in an AMLAW 100 firm in Silicon Valley, grew his originations from $900,000 to $6,700,000 in five years.
  • A 5th year employment partner, in an AMLAW 100 firm, grew his originations from $200,000 to $1,100,000 in two years.

 

Making it Easy for Legal Marketers

We know that your participation and support is crucial to the success of any business development program you decide to implement. So, we explicitly designed this program with both you and your attorneys in mind.
In a recent survey we conducted, legal marketers told us these five elements were essential to any program they selected:

  • It needs to be a safe choice. BDWise is a proven program, that produces real results. You can feel confident recommending the program to your firm management and attorneys.
  • It must be affordable. Since budgets are often shrinking, we made the BDWise program super-affordable, so you can train more of your attorneys and have a bigger impact on revenue growth.
  • The curriculum needs to be customizable. We customize our curriculum to fit the seniority of your attorneys, their business development strengths and their specific practice areas.
  • The program must be easy to roll out. The rollout is turnkey and seamless, requiring a minimum of effort on your part. Further, when the time comes, the program can easily be scaled to more attorneys throughout the entire firm.
  • We also want to learn new skills. For legal marketers who want to coach more of their attorneys, we have designed an approach to help you learn these valuable skills and work with your attorneys between lessons. Plus, you can attend the program for free!

Is the BDWise Platform Right for Your Attorneys?

The BDWise program is ideally suited for attorneys who are ready to accelerate the growth of their practices and are senior enough to at least participate in pitches to their target clients.

Are your attorneys voicing any of these challenges?

If they are, this program will help them overcome these problems:

“I dislike doing Business Development, but need a way to overcome my resistance and get into action.”

“I wish there was a method that worked with my personality and busy schedule.”

“I am motivated to do BD, but I need to be more effective. I’m spending too much time bouncing around doing “random acts of marketing.”

“I have an adequate book of business, but I need tips and support to take my originations to the next level.”

“I need to build a bigger book of business to make equity partner.”
