Wednesday, June 5, 2013, 12 Noon-1:30 EDT via Webex
There is a renewed resurgence of law firms internally adopting the accounting firm “sales” model and “sales” pipelines. Some law firms ask senior Partners to reduce or eliminate their billable hours to concentrate on rainmaking. Other law firms hire sales people from outside professions to “sell” for the firm. This session will provide a review of the "sales" functions in accounting and law firms and discuss differences and similarities, how “sales” pipelines are used to support the business development process, what works and what doesn’t, barriers and hurdles and how clients/prospective clients respond.
