Law Firm Sales Training

Strengthen relationships, expand accounts, and drive new business growth at your law firm.

With intensifying competition, price pressure from clients, increasing talent costs, and evolutions in buying legal services, it’s more important than ever to enable lawyers to drive new business and increase revenue.

The challenge is that most lawyers didn’t become lawyers to spend a significant amount of time sourcing clients, negotiating deals, and expanding their client base—and they don’t want to. And while they’ve spent a great deal amount of time studying law, they’ve spent little-to-no time receiving business development training.

Your lawyers need the skills to prospect, uncover client needs, build relationships, and close new clients, all while maintaining a billable book of business. But first you need to get them on board with your strategy. Through training, our industry experts at RAIN Group will help you create a culture of business development and shared growth language and goals across your law firm.

Business Development Training for Lawyers

Consultative Selling

Increasingly, legal buyers are using data tools to measure the value of a law firm. But in an industry where much of the value is subjective and not simply based on cases won, your lawyers need the skills to lead masterful value conversations, tell the ROI story, and differentiate your firm from your competition.
