Measuring Your Firm's ROI for its Business Development Activities...You CAN Do It!

Date of event: 3-23-2010
Time of event: Noon
Location of event: Duane Morris LLP 30 South 17th Street Philadelphia, PA

Measuring Your Firm’s ROI for its business development activities….. You can do it!

Join us for lunch on Tuesday March 23, 2010, to learn how putting in place the right building blocks can help a firm measure the return on its marketing and business development programs and use that information to manage its investments proactively.

Doug Armstrong of  West Monroe Partners—a seven-year-old, fast-growing consulting organization with seven offices across North America—will describe how his firm has used these elements as the foundation of an effective business development function.

During the session, he will describe five key requirements for measuring marketing in professional services:
•    An effective business development culture—one marked by a strong partnership and well-defined relationships among business development, marketing, and the line
•    A framework for organizing marketing and business development activities, with an overview of West Monroe Partners’ unique “piston” approach
•    Individual performance measures that align with the organizational approach
•    Actionable marketing and business development analytics
•    A marketing ROI formula that is consistent with the firm’s business structure and goals.

At one time, professional services firms relied almost entirely on relationships to build their businesses. Partners “owned” their firm’s client relationships, and “marketing,” in large part, consisted of activities to nurture existing relationships into new or more business. Firms measured “practice development” effectiveness by looking at their partners’ books of business.

Times have changed. Today, many professional services organizations must make substantial marketing and business development investments to remain visible in crowded, competitive markets. Measuring return on these investments is critical, but the nature of the profession makes that easier said than done. 

All lawyers and in-house marketers from your firms are welcome. Register below.
