Pitches can take all forms and sizes. While presentations are most common, one-on-one conversations, informal conversations, and multipart conversations are growing in their role and influence.
As The Mad Clientist discussed last week, clients might not announce they are considering you for new work. So – if a client or potential client calls with questions be prepared to share your best and most specific thoughts. It could be they are considering you for new work.
Please join me in congratulating these 30 law firms with the best pitches.
Best in the market ahead.
