Growing Your Law Firm Through Networking with Jonathan Fitzgarrald, Founder of Equinox Strategy Partners

GLF Podcast

Join Sasha Berson as he speaks with Jonathan Fitzgarrald from Equinox Strategy Partners

👉 Sasha and Jonathan explore:

— The importance of networking and building relationships in the legal profession.

— The follow-up process: the need for persistence and multiple interactions to secure new business.

— The nonlinear nature of relationship building and the time it takes to develop trust.

— The difference between suspects and prospects in networking.

— The role of accountability partners and the challenges of being accountable without external pressure.

👉 Main takeaways from the episode:

— Successful relationship building takes persistence over many interactions, not just isolated meetings. Building trust is a long-term process.

— Lawyers should focus on a select few (around 15) key connections who can provide work or referrals. It's not necessary to network with a large number of people.

— Following up consistently is crucial in securing new business. While only 50% of lawyers follow up after an initial meeting, it takes an average of 12 to 15 interactions for a potential client to hire a lawyer.

— Relationship building requires varied and consistent interactions to stay top of mind with key connections. Different methods such as lunches, emails, social media engagement, events, and webinars should be used.
