MARKETING TRAINING
FOR LITIGATORS, BY A LITIGATOR.

Ross Fishman, JD
INTEGRATED MARKETINGFOR LITIGATORS
In this tough economy, it’s not a question of which marketing tool works best, it’s how to blend them all together to achieve specific, mea-surable revenue goals.
Fishman Marketing’s unique methodology ensures the success-ful creation and implementation of dedicated marketing campaigns, business-development strategies, and branding initiatives for litigators. Through this rigorous approach, digital/online and social-marketing strategies are tightly in-tegrated with traditional marketing and PR to achieve specific business objectives.
This cutting-edge presentation will show how traditional and new-media platforms can work together to deliver solid, measurable, and cost-effective results, quickly.
FROM LINKEDIN TO LINK-BUILDING:
It’s the hottest subject in law marketing, but few seem to know what it all means or how the pieces fit together.
Do law firms need Facebook pages? Is SEO smoke-and-mirrors or a powerful new-economy strategy? Does “traffic” really lead to revenue? What types of firms should care about Google searches? In this hot presentation, Ross discusses these topics and more, from SEO link-building to eye-tracking website research. Built off of ac-tual law firm case studies, and the latest B2C and B2B research, Ross will identify which components are necessary, and how to use the latest tools and technology to market a litiga-tion boutique or practice.
MARKETING ETHICS INAN ONLINE WORLD (CLE)
Do CEOs really need protection from a law firm’s Facebook page? Is a blog ethically different than a website? What’s the problem with
“Friending” a prospect or seeking a LinkedIn “Recommendation?” Can you bid on your competitor’s name in Google AdWords? What types of texts or Tweets are trouble?
What is the ONE question you must ask to de-termine whether your communication is sub-ject to the ethics rules?
The rules change as quickly as the technol-ogy. When the rules are vague and the risks are high, how can firms comply as new marketing tools evolve and subjective interpretations vary by state? This fast-paced presentation will help attendees understand the rules, to ensure your marketing efforts are both effective and ethical.
SOCIAL, DIGITAL & ONLINE MARKETING
DYNAMIC PROGRAMS FOR TRIAL LAWYERS

LITIGATORS MUST BE THE BRAND Lawyers invented Social Marketing it’s simply developing trusted, personal relationships, and social platforms are additional tools to accelerate and extend your reach. However, new rules of engagement apply, and when appropriately executed yield impressive, sustain-able results.
Before becoming “social” you must first become user-friendly, and this presentation will give you the Top 10 Dos and Don’ts. Social marketing is not about having a Facebook page, it’s about developing and managing your brand.
If you are confused about social strategies, this fun and fast-paced presentation will show you how best to use online tools to leapfrog your competition.
CREATIVE DIFFERENTIATION FOR LITIGATORSA marketing program should help you stand out, and create or enhance the relationships that bring in business. It must execute a dynamic strategy. Sadly, too many firms proclaim the same message: “We’re really smart!” In a fun, fast-paced, and visually stunning hour, Ross will show attendees how to develop their own unique message and strategy, blasting through dozens of differentiated messages and over 100 real-life examples of the best (and worst) professional-services firm and automotive marketing. You will leave energized, educated, and entertained, with a clear understanding of exactly how to differentiate your litigation firm or trial practice.
This entertaining and educational program has repeatedly been referred to as “the best marketing program ever,” by managing and marketing partners worldwide. You won’t want to miss this.
YOUR MARKETING GOAL SHOULD BE “DOMINATE A TARGET MARKET” How much more money would you earn if you were known as the most knowledgeable litigator in a particular industry? How much more revenue would your firm generate if you thoroughly dominated a specific practice area or industry?
Great marketing can help a litigator, practice, office, or firm dominate its chosen market(s), and quickly. It’s easier than you think, but it requires a clear strategy, aggressive marketing, thorough training, and ongoing coaching and support.
There’s a simple formula for radical success that few firms follow. But it’s one any firm can do, once they’re ready to be great. This proven technique works for firms of any size and prac-tice mix. This entertaining and educational presentation will show how, using 100 powerful visuals and examples of a wide range of firms.
POPULAR PROGRAMS
THE HISTORY OF LAW MARKETING ETHICS (CLE) Ethics programs don’t have to be boring. Here’s the 250-year history of the best (and worst) examples of law firm marketing. In the 1700s, lawyers who wanted to broadcast their trial victories minted their own money. Everyone knows Abe Lincoln advertised, but did you know he also gave marketing seminars and charged a quarter?
Since then, the pace of change has accelerated as new tools have evolved and aggressive lawyers have pushed the envelope – until it occasionally ripped. Business cards attached to funeral wreaths. Firms mailing prospects realistic hand grenades or using 1(800) PITBULL. Even lawyers in lingerie. This entertaining presentation will detail the history of marketing ethics, including discussing the most important Supreme Court cases.
Some of the world’s most potent forces are
also the most concentrated. While some say
there is safety in numbers, we say a small
but mighty force can move mountains.
And we prove it every day, on some of the
most sophisticated legal issues around. Get
to know Novack and Macey and see the
practice of law at its highest concentration.

IT’S NOT “MARKETING VS. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT” — IT’S ABOUT STRATEGYWhen the economy began declining, law firms frantically discarded Marketing in favor of sales-oriented activities, called “Business Development.”
Marketing should develop a strategy that directly supports the firm’s rainmakers. Marketing is the blueprint that shortens the sales cycle, gets everyone working together, and helps them bring in more business more quickly. Without it, it’s like giving everyone a hammer, but not a blueprint. You get lots of frantic activity, not a great building.
When Marketing and Business Development teams work together correctly, it’s an unstoppable combination. This visually powerful presentation will show precisely how litigators can accomplish that goal.

CLIENT RETENTION AND CROSS-SELLING FOR LITIGATORS Cross-selling – selling additional services to existing clients – can be a powerful tool, leading to significantly increased additional revenue and client retention. However, most firms fail in the actual execution, finding that it’s much more difficult than they’d envi-sioned. There are a wide range of internal obstacles that must be overcome, including com-pensation structures, sharing, trust, inadequate information, portability, and others.
This presentation explores the strategies employed by the largest accounting and manage-ment-consulting firms, and shows how they can be adapted to the challenging law firm environment.

An active LMA member since 1990, Ross was the 1998 Vice President, and chairman and moderator of seven consecutive
national day-long QuickStart programs, after which LMA leadership asked Ross to create and host its first full-day program exclusively for lawyers, called “Just JDs.” He has also been hired as the expert witness in two highly publicized branding- and Google-related lawsuits, and created a 20-part video series for West LegalEdCenter, entitled “Beyond the Bar.”

FM campaigns also received one of Inc. magazine’s ten Marketing Masters awards for “brilliant and successful” marketing campaigns. Recipient of a peer-selected LMA 1998 Lifetime
Achievement Award, Ross was the first person inducted into the LMA’s Hall of Fame.
A Fellow of the College of Law Practice Management, Ross has written 250 bylined articles, including five monthly columns, and has sat on the editorial board of five national magazines.
