The first thing you would need to be able to answer is why that would benefit the law firm? If you can see a clear path how your service helps them — then you have a potential opportunity.
If you have a know someone who works at a law firm you want to approach, take them to coffee or lunch and ask what the firm needs most? Listen to what pain points they have that you can help fix and begin there.
Having worked in law firms, I tried to imagine what would happen if someone come into the office seeking referrals. The only thing I could envision is if you have a professional brochure of your services (you know the kind you can put in a little display) that you may be able to set that in a waiting room area where one of their clients may pick it up and reach out to you. But only after you have shown the firm — it will help the firm.
Many lawyers are hesitant to make referrals...period. (But they love receiving them.)
Not meaning to sound negative, but until you can show them how you can help them, there is little reason to have a relationship.
A good relationship will lead to good referrals. Best wishes.
Hi Maggie — or can I say «Hi neighbor!» I am also in Washington — but in the center of the State outside of Ellensburg. Welcome aboard and I hope we meet one day to share all the great successes you are having. Best wishes.
Hi Cheryl. I am Val Barschaw and I live 100 miles east of Seattle — so to my way of thinking...we're practically neighbors! I want to be sure that we stay in touch so I can refer potential clients your way. You have a great website and your candid approach on the importance of payments in advance is a WINNER. I devote a large portion of my time to speaking engagements with an emphasis on patient preparedness for better outcomes. I encourage checking out my blog posts on GNANOW. Be to sure comment back if you want me to fill out your contact form on your website.
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your truth that «progress is rarely linear». That is a core reality, that once embraced, patients will heal more fully.
Hello. How are you doing today? I'm Val Barschaw and have been traversing the healthcare system during a 35 (and counting) year journey as an advocate and caregiver to a heart transplant patient. That intensity at times can feel daunting — because it is. It is so wonderful to have this community to invigorate us and share the wonders of being transformed into the advocate who gives even more. Because, together we make a profound difference. I whole-heartedly thank GNA for making this community possible.
