How {{company_name}} compares on client acquisition
Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
Growing a mid-size firm past the 50-attorney mark often exposes gaps in business development that were easy to paper over when everyone knew every client personally. At {{company_name}}'s scale, the partners who figure out systematic client acquisition tend to pull ahead of firms that still rely on golf outings and referral lunches alone.
We have been studying how firms with multiple practice groups approach outbound development without it feeling like it conflicts with the profession's relationship-driven culture. The short version is that the best firms treat it as structured relationship-building rather than sales.
I would be glad to walk through the patterns we are seeing among firms your size. Would a 15-minute call next week be reasonable? 6-9% reply rate
