Some clients and prospects don’t want to know how you make your sausages. They just want you to deliver the meal.
Some clients and prospects want to know everything.
They want the details. What you do, how you do it, why you do it this way instead of that.
Many lawyers don’t provide a lot of details. Probably because they think their clients aren’t interested. But maybe they don’t want to go to the bother of explaining.
But they should explain.
Providing details, the step-by-step procedure, the method behind the madness, gives a client confidence in a lawyer and the legal system. And shows them why that lawyer earns more in an hour than they earn all week.
Give people the details about what you do and how things work. If a client doesn’t want to know everything, they don’t have to read everything. But I guarantee they will like knowing that you know all the details.
This goes for your services, your operations (how you run your office), and your content. Err on the side of telling them too much rather than too little.
When you describe your services, for example, explain the steps you take and the reasons you take them. Don’t just tell them the what and when, tell them the how and why.
You’re good at explaining things. Explain things. And show your readers where they can learn more.
Because people want to know.
