Q: Like any business, firms and service providers alike need to build a reputation. Is it possible to suggest that it’s now less about what people say about you and more about what you say about yourself?
For any business, building a reputation is fundamental to success. It is not something that can be achieved overnight or bought and relies heavily on consumer opinion. In the last 10 years, as firms have shifted more toward the digital world of marketing and online presence, there has been a certain factor of self-promotion and advocacy.
However, as is often the case, both what people say about your business and what you say about yourself are equally important, yet each outcome relies on the other.
Building a solid reputation for success
I’d like to draw on the Apple example to highlight the importance of building a solid reputation. If, like me, you are able to remember the 1990’s, Apple did not hold the reputation they have today. Aside from their expensive products, they were considered outdated and niche.
Upon the return of Steve Jobs, Apple changed their approach, starting by building better, customer-focused products. Subsequently, they modified their messaging to be more customer-focused and talked about why they do what they do rather than what they do as a whole.
By meticulously focusing on their own message to the market, they successfully built a reputation that had people talking about them. In doing so, they removed the perception of being expensive.

Build your reputation with the help of leading legal services software
To suggest that it’s now less about what people say about you and more about what you say about yourself would be incorrect. However, businesses must outline why they do what they do while ensuring their actions lead to better word of mouth.
The great news is it really doesn’t matter where you start. If you already have great products and services, focus on ensuring you market them effectively so that your clients are also talking positively about you. With the growth in review sites, what people say about your business influences others’ opinions.
It’s really no secret that great software solutions often underpin great products and services. At PracticeEvolve, we’re committed to providing legal firms with innovative cloud technology to streamline operations, drive efficiencies, and increase revenue.
