In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains five ways a law firm's thought leadership can help eliminate the buyer's remorse a client might experience after deciding to retain the firm to handle a new legal matter: 1. Thought leadership continuously reinforces expertise and authority on the part of the law firm publishing it. 2. It provides ongoing value for a client beyond the work a law firm is doing on the client's active legal matter(s). 3. It helps shape clients' understanding of complex legal issues, thus managing their expectations about the result of their legal matter(s). 4. It demonstrates a law firm has capabilities beyond those it's employing in connection with a client's legal matter(s). 5. When a law firm's attorneys invite a client to co-produce thought leadership with them, that client will feel valued and appreciated. Learn more about Wayne Pollock, the host of Legally Contented and the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynepollockLearn more about the Law Firm Editorial Service:http://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.comDo you have any idea how much money your firm is losing when its lawyers write thought-leadership marketing and business development content themselves?Learn how much with the Law Firm Editorial Service's Thought Leadership Cost Calculator:http://www.WriteLessBillMore.comCheck out blog posts and videos designed to help you and your colleagues improve their content marketing and thought-leadership marketing efforts:https://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com/bloghttps://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com/videosDo you have a question about content  marketing or thought-leadership marketing you would like us to answer on a future Practice Pointer episode?

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) debunks the following four common misconceptions attorneys, executives at companies that serve the legal industry, and their marketing and business development colleagues have about working with thought leadership ghostwriters.1. When an attorney or a legal industry executive works with a thought leadership ghostwriter, the material produced will not reflect the attorney's or the executive's ideas—it will reflect the ghostwriter's ideas.2. When attorneys or legal industry executives work with a ghostwriter, they're not in control of the process.3. It's rare for professionals to use ghostwriters.4. Attorneys and legal industry executives don't need ghostwriters because they're already writing thought leadership materials as part of their ongoing marketing, business development, and personal branding efforts. Learn more about Wayne Pollock, the host of Legally Contented and the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynepollockLearn more about the Law Firm Editorial Service:http://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.comDo you have any idea how much money your firm is losing when its lawyers write thought-leadership marketing and business development content themselves?Learn how much with the Law Firm Editorial Service's Thought Leadership Cost Calculator:http://www.WriteLessBillMore.comCheck out blog posts and videos designed to help you and your colleagues improve their content marketing and thought-leadership marketing efforts:https://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com/bloghttps://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com/videosDo you have a question about content  marketing or thought-leadership marketing you would like us to answer on a future Practice Pointer episode?

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains six ways that thought leadership can help attorneys secure speaking engagements. 1. It gets them exposure to event organizers and people who influence those organizers.2. It gives them credibility as someone knowledgeable and wise about the topics they cover, the areas of law they practice, and the industries they serve. 3. It shows event organizers they can tackle a wide range of topics. 4. It gives event organizers a preview of their stage presence. 5. When their thought leadership helps them build a social media following or a large number of subscribers to a newsletter, those followers and subscribers show event organizers people are interested in what the attorneys have to say. 6. When an attorney's thought leadership is published in third-party publications, and/or leads to media interviews or podcast invitations, event organizers realize the attorney is in demand and recognized as an established thought leader who attendees will want to hear from.Learn more about Wayne Pollock, the host of Legally Contented and the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynepollockLearn more about the Law Firm Editorial Service:http://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.comDo you have any idea how much money your firm is losing when its lawyers write thought-leadership marketing and business development content themselves?Learn how much with the Law Firm Editorial Service's Thought Leadership Cost Calculator:http://www.WriteLessBillMore.comCheck out blog posts and videos designed to help you and your colleagues improve their content marketing and thought-leadership marketing efforts:https://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com/bloghttps://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com/videosDo you have a question about content  marketing or thought-leadership marketing you would like us to answer on a future Practice Pointer episode?
