PSMG would like to invite you to join us on Tuesday 18th January 2022 when Ben Kent, Silvia Grigoroiu and Jonathan Litterick of Meridian West present “All you need to know about Client listening''.

Most professional firms are reasonably good at gathering feedback data on their clients. Those who discover and respond to client needs quickly have a competitive advantage, but client listening programmes can fail to communicate and improve the frustrations and experiences of clients.

Meridian West is presenting best practice in using technology to capture and analyse data, to deliver feedback intelligence, and deliver a best-in-class client experience.

In this interactive session we will provide a practical guide to developing a client listening programme, including:

Relationships are the lifeblood of professional services firms and getting feedback from clients should be central to all marketing efforts. Most firms do have either a formal client feedback programme or are in the habit of gathering ad hoc data at critical points in their journey.

Getting feedback from clients has risen in importance with Covid. The situation for clients is constantly changing and what they need from their advisors is in constant flux. It has never been as important to make sense of this qualitative data fast. However, this has been something that firms have in the past struggled with, and as programmes grow it becomes increasingly difficult to read across data sets.

The Environmental, Social and Governance Movement

An Opportunity AND an obligation

What does it mean for professional services providers?

And what does it mean for Marketing and Business Development Professionals?

“Corporate social responsibility is a hard-edged business decision. Not because it is a nice thing to do or because people are forcing us to do it… because it is good for our business”

Niall Fitzgerald, former CEO, Unilever

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues should be top concerns of all corporate management and boards.

There was a time when a public stance on ESG issues was a public relations tactic. However, in today's rapidly changing business climate, attention to ESG issues is becoming critical to long-term competitive success.

In this new environment all company performance is being assessed through an ESG lens and professional services firms are not immune to this.

Evidence shows that properly integrated ESG policies widen a firm’s competitive reach compared to other industry players. Those who take steps to improve labour conditions, enhance the diversity of their teams, invest in their communities, and adopt sustainable environmental practices and policies will strengthen their brand and their client offering.

People are interested in the “citizenship” of a brand, and whether it is doing the right things societally, economically and environmentally.

Organisations that recognize the importance of adapting to changing socio-economic and environmental conditions are better able to identify strategic opportunities and meet competitive challenges.

We must, therefore, reconnect company success with societal progress. Shared value is not social responsibility or even sustainability. It is a new way to achieve economic success. It is not on the outer edge of what we do but rather at the centre.

Those who are truly committed to executing ESG policies, practices and programmes ensure ESG is a senior management priority of the CEO and general counsel, and increasingly tie compensation to ESG metrics.

They voluntarily report ESG goals, and progress towards meeting them, to all stakeholders via the annual CEO letter, annual reports, internal corporate communications, and/or annual sustainability reports.

Increasingly they are demanding their suppliers and vendors – including their professional advisors, act in the same way.

It is no longer enough to talk the talk.

We in Business Development and Marketing must be integral to the fast-paced changes affecting our sector and our client industries.

OUR PROUD SPONSORS

We are delighted to announce that Man Bites Dog, Passle, Mediasterling, Ceros, Meridian West, Client Talk, Gittings Global, MyCustomerLens and Eventogy are among o ur sponsors for our 2022 ESG Summit.

Webinar 2: Building a More Sustainable Brand

PSMG’s Annual Conference 2022 was on the opportunity and obligation for professional services from the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) movement.

In the run up to and after the PSMG ESG Summit we are running a two-part webinar series on Marketing and Sustainability and how you can use ESG issues to future-proof your brand.

We will explore how firms and their marketing and BD professionals can embrace ESG and sustainability, avoid ‘greenwash’ and build a more sustainable brand.

We will also bring into this second webinar some key messages and highlights from the PSMG conference last week and explore further what that event taught us about the opportunity and obligation for professional services from the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) movement.

In our first meeting of 2022 we will look at how firms and their marketing functions have never been more essential than they are right now. The professional services industry continues to focus on creating client value to sustain long-term growth, whilst the market continues to be aggressively competitive, requiring you to identify the correct areas to focus on to position your firm to be relevant to your clients.

To position your firm for maximum growth now and in the future, you will need to approach your work and career strategically. You must look beyond the specifics of any initiative you are tasked with within your role and take time to learn how that particular project aligns with the firm's growth strategy.

Its the final countdown

It’s the final countdown

Thu, 19 May 2022 12:30 - 14:00 

WEBINAR Host: Nisus Consulting

LAST CHANCE TO BOOK!

This is a virtual attendance event

Having just launched the second edition of the award winning “Strategic Tendering for Professional Services, Win More, Lose Less”, Matthew Fuller and Tim Nightingale will focus on the art of the pitch presentation - the final countdown.

This is an area where the stories are legendary of firms not only dropping the ball but also managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The pitch presentation (online or face to face) is all about building empathy and closing the sale, so getting it right requires time and investment, two things that too many firms neglect.

Delegates attending this seminar can receive a copy of their book at a concessionary rate. It is available in hardback or digital. This is an invaluable reference point if you think your firm needs to up its game in order to win more and lose less.

 
Closing the gap between brand promises and client reality

Closing the gap between brand promises and client reality

Thu, 26 May 2022 12:30 - 14:00 

Webinar Host: MyCustomerLens

This is now an online only event

Jeff Bezos famously described a brand as "what people say about you when you're not in the room"

So do you know what your clients are saying about you? And how well do their words and experiences align with the promises you're making with sales and marketing?

Now more than ever, minimising the gap between brand promises and client reality is central to future success and growth. But that can only happen when fee-earners and commercial teams are on the same page.

In this webinar, Paul Roberts of MyCustomerLens will talk about how firms can:

  • Measure the impact of their brand promises
  • Discover what's driving any gaps between promises and reality
  • Benchmark how gaps, and their underlying drivers, vary across sectors or service lines
 
Masterclass Coaching for success - how to get comfortable presenting

Masterclass: Coaching for success - how to get comfortable presenting

Venue: FRP Advisory Trading Limited, 110 Cannon Street, London EC4N 6EU

LAST CHANCE TO BOOK!

This is an in person or virtual attendance 1/2 day Masterclass for you or members of your team.

Presenting is something that many people fear and shy away from. Notwithstanding, it often forms an important part of our roles.

Whilst we might not volunteer, nor need, to stand up and speak in front of hundreds of people, we might need to present our conclusions to the board or management committee, or make a presentation to our team to get buy-in for a change of direction.

Perhaps we need to stand up and introduce other professionals/experts at the meetings we run or help to coach fee earners or members of our team in this task.

Presentation skills matter and this training aims to give you some tools and techniques to banish the nerves and make your presentations better.

 
G + L  C

G + L = C

Thu, 23 Jun 2022 12:00 - 13:00 

Webinar Host: Myddleton Communications

LAST CHANCE TO BOOK!

Grammar + language = communication

What are the “trade” tools journalists use – and why do they matter? Does your firm have a style guide and, if so, is it reviewed regularly? And are those all-important pitch documents as pristine in grammatical presentation as they are in content?

The impression we create and the perceptions we instil are informed by our use of language, even with the “shortcuts” of social media, What’s App and messaging platforms. In a world of complexity, plain English is more important than ever.

In this interactive conversation, communications consultant and editor, David Leck, and freelance writer, Sandra Smith, discuss the importance of language and grammar while offering practical guidance in eliminating unnecessary words/phrases, clarity of communication and consistency of style.

Venue: Weightmans, The Hallmark, 105 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 5JG

This is a senior roundtable breakfast for Director/Partner level and by Invitation only!

MampBD data analytics What is it and how can we do it better

M&BD data analytics: What is it and how can we do it better?

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 17:00 - 18:45 

Venue: Simmons & Simmons, CityPoint, 1 Ropemaker Street, London EC2Y 9SS

This is an evening event with networking drinks

Virtual attendance is also available

Data analytics is on every law firm M&BD leader’s agenda but making the most of the intel on hand is easier said than done.

Are you capturing the data that matters and using it to answer the questions that make a difference?

Most data available and the corresponding analytics dashboards are looking at the past – showing trends or patterns already behind us. Law firms also don’t have the luxury of huge databases, like FMCG brands do – meaning that any conclusions are based on only a small sample.

In an economic environment with few constants these mean that predictive analytics is extremely difficult.

That doesn’t make data analytics any less relevant – it means that we need to get smarter about it.

The majority of professional services firms have client feedback programmes in place. Some have developed these programmes to strengthen their key client relationships, others use them to shape strategy.

Regardless of the objective, at the heart of each programme are conversations with clients. However, how often do we stop to think about the foundations of our client listening programmes.

During this 1/2 day Masterclass former lawyer, business development professional, and accredited coach, Claire Rason will focus on the art of gathering feedback and will provide tools and techniques to en hance your client listening programmes.

Are you ready to give a Hybrid Presentation

Are you ready to give a Hybrid Presentation?

Thu, 20 Oct 2022 12:30 - 13:45 

Venue: Webinar

LAST CHANCE TO BOOK!

This is changed to online only

It is highly likely that you will have to deliver a presentation soon where some of your audience are in the room with you, while the rest of your audience are attending remotely.

Welcome to the new world of Hybrid Presentations – are you ready?

Delivering a high-quality hybrid presentation is a different skill – very few people are trained in it. As a result, many speakers get it wrong and alienate both audiences.

However, if you get it right you can stand out and create a raft of opportunities to build in-person relations as you always did, while spreading the message of your business to a far wider audience at the same time.

A speaker who gets this right will impress both the physical and virtual audience, and the potential rewards will be significant.

What can firms do in their communities to have the greatest impact, using the skills of their profession to maximize social value?

And how can you, as marketing and BD professionals, support your firm in these initiatives and move from transactional to transformational.

Data analytics is a topic that should be at the top of every M&BD leader’s mind and agenda but making the most of the intelligence on hand is easier said than done.

Big Data has revolutionised nearly every industry and has given its’ business leaders unprecedented access to the most in-depth information including that of its clients. Such data can only improve business development efforts provided we know how to gather it appropriately and put it into action in a meaningful way.

Big data is more than just a trend, it can be truly innovative and when used correctly it can help us develop strategies, practices and products which will lead to a growth in business.

If we gather more valuable in-depth insights, we will be in a much better position to make informed decisions on how to support existing clients and the targeting of new business. It will also help our efforts to support efficiencies within our own firms.

In the UK, the Big Four accountancy firms have all established law firms as part of their client offerings and each has an ambitious growth plan.

Due to their scale, extensive client relationships and track record of dominating other sectors of the professional services market, many believe that the Big Four are now a real threat to the established UK legal market.

So, what can law firms learn from the approach that the Big Four takes when building client relationships, developing go to market propositions and brand marketing?

In this Talking Heads session, Eddie Bowman and James Stringer will:

  1. Consider the context for the latest attempt by the Big Four to enter the legal market.
  2. Discuss why this time they could be more successful.
  3. Share what strategies the Big Four use to build client relationships, identify opportunities for growth and foster collaboration to maximise opportunities.

Data around us is generated by the minute. Places and methods to capture it are widely available. But unless it is deeply embedded in your firm’s DNA to look for, track, combine and use insights to generate new and more profitable work, data is of little use. In this interactive workshop we talk about the strategies to meaningfully put data at the centre-stage of your firm’s thinking and actions.

From determining what data matters, the sources to get it, to practices to guide your BD decisions, you will leave more ready to be data-driven. As a part of the session, we will work through the strategic thinking that lets you turn media opportunities, like the Financial Times, into a profitable BD engine and swap the historically backward-looking information for predictive insights.

LIMITED PLACES!

Feedback and research consistently speak to the actions of the best leaders being a choice unconstrained by experience or seniority. We all have the ability to lead. Leadership is collaborative.

Success is achieved by working together because we cannot lead alone. Marketing and Business Development teams in professional services firms know a lot about collaboration. Working with internal stakeholders is almost always key to success.

The critical skills of the best leaders overlap directly with the skills of coaching. A lot has been written and researched about coaching as a leadership style. It has been shown again and again to work - it delivers results. This doesn't mean that leaders need to be trained as coaches-it does mean that they need to understand what key skills coaches have and how to use them.

Claire Rason of Client Talk and Raya Blakeley-Glover will discuss how a knowledge of these key skills can help marketing and business development managers and directors lead their teams more effectively.

It can also help marketing and business development professionals have better conversations with internal stakeholders.

Webinar Host: Client Talk

LAST CHANCE TO BOOK!

Twelve months ago Claire Rason of Client Talk set out to find whether, if she hadn't quit the law in 2005, she would have made it to partner. The results were surprising and led Claire to have many conversations with firms on what is needed to move the dial in DEI.

Claire also wears another hat - she regularly goes and speaks to clients of professional services firms. She knows that DEI is increasingly important for clients and they want to see firms do better.

Join Claire Rason, author of the legal diversity report The Class of 2002, and finalist at the Women & Diversity in Law Awards, to find out what firms need to be thinking about to create inclusive cultures.

All delegates will receive a written copy of the results of her recent survey.

Whether attending or not would you please take 5 minutes to complete the survey and help us get the widest possible results on 5th July. All responses will be treated anonymously and will help shape best practice (as well as what to avoid).

The Science Of Storytelling: Harnessing Data-Driven Thought Leadership For Marketing & BD Impact

Venue: FRP Advisory Trading Limited, 110 Cannon Street, London EC4N 6EU

LAST CHANCE TO BOOK

Storytelling is an art as old as time itself – from the ancient oral tradition to today’s new immersive experiences. What is new is how you can deploy the science of storytelling and the power of data to achieve cut-through in today’s connected and crowded world.

For professional services marketers selling intelligent brands, thought leadership is the only smart growth strategy. So, how can you best harness data-driven thought leadership to inspire and mobilise change?

In this workshop, Claire Mason, Founder and CEO of Man Bites Dog and Ally Sharpe, Divisional Director at Man Bites Dog, with Rob Chamberlain, Head of Practice Group Marketing & Business Development at Eversheds Sutherland, will explore:

Bids meets Tech: making it work for your firm

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 12:00 - 14:00 

Venue: Trowers & Hamlins, 3 Bunhill Row, London EC1Y 8YZ

Many major professional services firms – even those that do hundreds of tenders monthly – are not yet using proven technology to help automate the collation of outbound proposals.

Why is this? It is well known that these bid support applications improve and standardise the quality of responses, so tenders are produced more quickly winning more work for the firm. With only a very small increase in win rate leading to pay back, it is surprising that many firms have not yet made this investment.

One of the major barriers is knowing how this technology is best adopted by the firm. Should it be a tool of the BD and marketing team or something the fee earners use directly.

This session considers this and other important questions for BD leaders seeking to improve their win rates or lower the burden on busy BD teams and shares insight from the team that implemented this kind of technology in a Magic Circle law firm.

Taking the lead on a change project can be challenging but also rewarding as in doing so you are demonstrating your ability to be strategic by thinking, acting and delivering results that often go beyond your own departmental responsibilities.

By taking an active role on change projects, you can develop a deeper understanding of leadership challenges, increase your EQ and be seen as the person who must have a seat at the strategy table in your firm.

Sharing her experiences of the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of change projects, in this session, Ruth Napier will share her experiences from major change programmes in financial services and law, including mergers, rebrands and tech transformations, highlighting key skills and techniques for aspiring leaders to develop.

Virtual attendance available on request

Only 20 places will be available!

We are delighted to invite you to a round table event that promises to revolutionize the way firms approach business development. In a new era of client disloyalty, law firms face a growing challenge: even long-standing clients are much less likely to choose their incumbent law firm or partner for new work. Traditional rainmaking approaches no longer work. But top-performing partners have cracked the code on a new, collaborative model that drives consistent growth.

Join us for insights based on the ground breaking and first global, data-based study “The Rainmaker Genome Project” conducted by DCM Insights in partnership with Intapp.

Explore a data-driven approach to business development that is redefining law firm marketing and client engagement based on the largest and most rigorous scientific study of top performing partners ever conducted. The study is to be featured in the November and December editions of The Harvard Business Review, so this is your opportunity to inform yourself and get ahead of your peer firms.

Knowing which technologies and use cases will have the biggest impact on successfully meeting your goals is a challenge.

With generative AI entering the scene, prioritisation is likely to become even more difficult as every platform that incorporates it, and start-ups built on it, will claim it’s the solution to all your problems.

In this workshop, we’ll guide you through structured discussions and debates with your peers on what the most important goals for your tech stack are and the best ways of achieving them.

Plus, where relevant, the Litera team will share insights and best practices from working with hundreds of firms around the world.

Join us for this workshop in which we’ll discuss, debate, and decide with you and your peers:

  • The current mar-tech landscape
  • What generates the most value for firms right now?
  • How software should be prioritised
  • How your tools should be leveraged for maximum success
  • What other firms are doing that you could benefit from?
  • Where generative AI will create the most value

In this event, we will explore the principles of effective experience management and demonstrate how technology can support you throughout the journey.

A spring 2023 Harvard Business Review article showcased a KPMG cross-selling case study that showed how gamified training delivers results. The challenge that KPMG faced will be familiar to many in professional services: large numbers of people needing to understand vast service offerings in order to be able to identify opportunities with and for clients.

The KPMG solution was a fun and scalable one. What the article highlights is that fun and play can have serious results.

LEGO ® Serious Play® (LSP) is a method that was developed within Lego ® as a means to support the company with strategic ideation. It draws on organisational development, psychology, and learning methodology. It is one way that firms can help think about some of their challenges differently. Like the gamification used by KPMG, it can help firms think about different solutions - ones that aren't boring and which instead harness the power of play.

A Senior Level Programme

Women are continually underrepresented at partner level in firms of all sizes and research carried out by Client Talk has found that frequently women choose not to progress, often as a result of limiting beliefs and the unconscious impact of gender bias.

This senior level programme has, therefore, been especially designed for female leaders and aspiring leaders including associates and marketing & business development professionals.

The coaching sessions will be led by Claire Rason, a former lawyer and accredited coach and the programme will bring together a cohort of women who want to explore the future of their career in a different way.

It will consist of:

  • 6 face-to-face peer group coaching sessions
  • 6 individual coaching sessions
  • The opportunity to shape the sessions based on what the cohort is struggling with most
  • A focus on being authentic rather that changing for the system

PSMG is delighted to have been offered FIVE discounted places with a special early bird rate until 31st December 2023.

We are increasingly becoming aware that our organisations are 'human systems'. If we invest in those systems, we create value for the organisation as a whole and for society beyond. If we don't invest in (or rather, drain) those 'human resources', we destroy value and create risk.

There is an evidence-based science to this. Led by The Maturity Institute, and working with LexSolutions, they are empowering law firms and their clients with the data, insights and practical means to address these issues strategically and holistically.

Understanding where your firm sits on the Law Firm Maturity Index can enable you to drive opportunities for your firm and your clients.

Join this interactive workshop to understand what "Maturity" is, where your firm could be on the Maturity Index and how to use this data to maximise your firm's value and opportunities.

To support the work our presenters are doing around building human-centric organisations and purpose-driven law firms, whether attending or not could you please take a few moments to fill in an open survey which we are using to gather data for this session.

Here is the link. The survey will only take 10 minutes and is entirely confidential.
