How to Conduct Successful

Pre- and Post-Engagement Meetings

Back to Training Programs

Past Participants Say:
"These simple steps have had a profound impact on our clients' perception of our firm's value."

Description
In today's competitive marketplace, the difference between commodity-peddling vendors and trusted partners is the value that clients ascribe to their services. While it is often ignored, the ways in which attorneys handle the moments immediately before and after a client engagement play a critical role in determining their clients' perception of value.

In this workshop, we teach you a step-by-step approach to creating value by conducting successful pre- and post-engagement meetings. You'll learn how to set the tone for a successful engagement by identifying client needs, properly setting client expectations, establishing performance standards and using win-win pricing arrangements. You'll also learn how to conduct successful post-engagement meetings in which you transform negative feedback into client loyalty and develop additional business for your firm.
