If you want to achieve more of your revenue potential, it’s time to make these disappear.
Turn your group leaders into revenue-focused leaders
Let’s just say it out loud … if you truly want to maximize your firm’s revenue, your leaders must become highly effective sales managers.
The problem is, while every law firm aspires to create a dynamic culture of business development, few leaders are ever properly trained in the art of maximizing the marketing, selling and client service activities of their lawyers.
To bridge that gap, we design and deliver customized Revenue-Focused Leadership Training and Coaching programs that give leaders the tools they need to inspire their lawyers into action. It is a practical, down-to-earth, laser-focused approach that shows leaders the tricks of the trade for getting lawyers to engage in more, and better, business development activity.
“As we began our journey through this pandemic, we knew it was critical to bring our leadership teams together and discuss our future. The only way to do that was to meet virtually, so we called on David Freeman. David designed and conducted two virtual sessions on how our leaders could improve revenue, and the results exceeded our expectations. We were very pleased with how easy it was to work with David remotely, and the long list of practical action steps we generated based on this process.”

Benefits of revenue-focused leadership
When leaders learn how to strengthen their revenue-focused skills, they can:

- Improve collaboration within and between groups.
- Drive more cross-selling.
- Create greater engagement and accountability.

“Revenue Roundtables”
With all due respect to great trainers and intelligent leaders, one-time events rarely move the needle for driving sustained change. For that reason, we deliver ongoing workshops (monthly or quarterly) that keep vitally important skills top-of-mind while also supporting ongoing implementation.
Using cost and time efficient remote meeting technology, these virtual mastermind sessions bring your leaders together to work as a unified team to create a more powerful culture of business development.
With over 40 topics to choose from, our sessions are designed to:
- Sharpen leadership skills.
- Facilitate information sharing, brainstorming and peer coaching between leaders.
- Strengthen internal communication, collaboration and cross-selling.
- Elicit specific commitments for action.
- Create group accountability.
Boost results with leadership coaching
While training plays an important role in leadership development, the real work begins after the workshops, when leaders must actively apply their lessons learned.
To support your leaders as they navigate their unique set of challenges and opportunities, we provide months of personalized, one-on-one leadership coaching which is designed to help them ingrain new skills, craft customized strategies, and implement tactics for moving their lawyers into action.
