Concern about competition prompted Karin to shift her marketing approach and positioning.
Conroy Creative Counsel specializes in providing web design and digital marketing services to the legal industry, and Karin Conroy is seen as a leading expert in this space. After noticing a pattern of longer buying cycles and increased competitive pressure, however, she realized her niche market was changing. Her agency was struggling with declining sales and she found herself searching for ways to recover her competitive advantage and reverse the pattern of downward trending revenue.
By shifting her sales and marketing strategy to align with her expertise and positioning herself as a high-value consultant, Karin eliminated lengthy buying cycles and increased client confidence.
Together we refined Karin’s sales approach to leverage her insight into the legal marketplace and clearly communicate the value she delivers to her clients. We shifted her brand from competing on price to a clear position of quality. We eliminated unnecessary steps in her marketing system allowing her to nurture qualified leads effectively, engage potential clients from a position of authority, and build confidence in her brand.
As we implemented these changes across her messaging - from website copy to marketing material - and refined her offers to be strategically unique from those of the competition - Karin noticed a reduction in the buying cycle and increased ease in moving from proposal to agreement.
Michelle was like a hot knife through butter for all my problems. She was especially able to personally address places where I was stuck and dedicate our time to the most impactful results. Rather than following a set course or program, our work was systematic for what worked best for me. My business is now clear, focused, and effective. This clarity reflects in the communications with potential clients and the results have been practically instant. Clients are super eager to work with me, apologizing for not signing up sooner, and I am not overthinking every interaction.
