Marketing a Professional Service firm starts with understanding the prospects needs
David Maister calls it “Listening”
![Page 15: How To Attract New Clients To Your Firm](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5550fe87b4c90572478b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Needs drive your marketing
• The fact that needs change is probably the single most important issue for Professional Service firms
• and … the reason that marketing has become so important
• So keep selling what got you to where you are today or modify your practice to deliver a service that clients need today and in the future
![Page 16: How To Attract New Clients To Your Firm](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5550fe87b4c90572478b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What are the changing needs ?

• How have they changed over the last five years
• What will they be in five years time
• Consider changes in the economy, technology, Social Media, Hourly Billing, Importance of Marketing

Positioning• What do you want your prospects to think about you
• Informed by your understanding of your prospects needs
• Foundation of your marketing programme
• 3D’s - Distinct, Desirable, and Deliverable
![Page 20: How To Attract New Clients To Your Firm](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5550fe87b4c90572478b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Start with your Targetsand their needs
• Who do we want ? Hand pick them if possibleo Your reputation will largely be based on the clients
you serve
• Are there different segments ?
• What do they need (Desire) in terms of your service ?
• What’s your reputation? o Have they ever heard of you ?
![Page 21: How To Attract New Clients To Your Firm](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5550fe87b4c90572478b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tailored Marketing Solutions• Different Targets require different marketing strategies
o What do they need, want and value
• How do we get themo Direct Calls
o Build the right referral network
o Client Introduction
o Open an overseas office
If you don't know exactly who you are targeting, what marketing should you do ?
![Page 22: How To Attract New Clients To Your Firm](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5550fe87b4c90572478b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What makes you Distinct
• Important to standout from the crowd o Why should a prospect give you their
business
• Not much unique in PS world - so how do you do it ?
• Think of your competitors - Do an analysis
• Specialisation and focus are the strongest sources of distinction.
![Page 23: How To Attract New Clients To Your Firm](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5550fe87b4c90572478b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
People and Sectors over Firms
• Its difficult to say interesting or unique things about a firm without meaningless platitudes
At Standout we put our clients first (and so you should !)
At Standout we deliver results (I should hope so)
• Promote the partners over the firmo Because clients don't work with a firm. They work with individual
partners who help them with their problems.
• Market sector by sector
![Page 24: How To Attract New Clients To Your Firm](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5550fe87b4c90572478b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reputation is the ultimate Distinction
• In Professional Services Building a strong reputation is the ultimate source of distinction
• Hard to build reputation through traditional product marketing tools eg advertising or brochures
• Reputation management is achieved through word of mouth but also blogging, speeches, writing articles, , books, careful PR ie through demonstration.
![Page 25: How To Attract New Clients To Your Firm](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5550fe87b4c90572478b4ca1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Podcasting
is the creation of audio and/or video files for distribution to subscribers.Podcasts today are what underground zines were in the '90s. They can be produced and packaged at home (or surreptitiously at work), just about everyone seems to have one, they are distributed free or at low cost, and there is the promise, if not the reality, of making money with them.The attraction of podcasting is that you can create content which people can receive easily and automatically.
Podcasts today are what underground zines were in the '90s. They can be produced and packaged at home and they are distributed free or at low cost.
The cost comes in the production time!
Webinar: (web+seminar)
A presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web.A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give, receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast, in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the presenter and the audience.
