“Michelle ran an amazing workshop with our Rocket Lawyer law firm network. The lawyers attending learnt so much about the best way to convert enquiries into clients. Everyone left with lots of ideas and wanting more in-depth help from Michelle. Michelle is definitely a leading expert in the UK on converting clients and maximising profits. We’ll be asking her back.” Mark Edwards, Senior Vice President EMEA, ROCKETLAWYER
“Michelle’s insightful and skillful advice and strategies are readily apparent from her blogs but her ‘Profitable Practice Secrets’ 1 day workshop really brought home just how much impact she can have on a firm’s profits.One of her tips has revolutionised my conversion rate. Highly recommended and I have signed up to her Profitable Practice Programme as a result.” Jay Sahota, Senior Partner, Jarmans Solicitors
“This is probably the most valuable free webinar I have never attended. I am often cynical about these kind of events and easily put off by pushy sales gimmicks. But Michelle had me engaged within the first few minutes of attending this webinar and it was invaluable as it provided me with essential tools to start applying within my business to help it grow.” Hannah Cash, Owner, Yachting Lawyers International
“An all day workshop normally means that by the end you’ve forgotten the beginning, but ‘Practice Growth Secrets’ was different. Because we were participating and interacting (and assessing our own practice) I was able to get much more benefit and greater insights from the day. The workshop made me realise that being successful small firm owner is about being a good businesswoman as well as being a good lawyer. Michelle’s process of helping me diagnose what was holding my practice back has allowed me to see what ‘treatment’ I need to apply. I’m looking forward to getting Michelle’s ongoing help with this.” Yomi Oni-Williams, Principal, Owens Solicitors
“We found the ‘Profitable Practice Secrets’ 1 day workshop a breath of fresh air.It has invigorated us to look at our business in a new way and given us the confidence to employ new methods with the aim of boosting our profitability but not at the personal cost of our personal lives.” Director, Kent Law Firm
“We attended the Profitable Practice Secrets workshop because we wanted help in launching a new area of practice and pick up a few ideas to help boost our existing marketing efforts. As lawyers we are, I think, naturally suspicious and inherently sceptical of accepting others’ ideas and buying into the possibility that we don’t know what is best for our own firms. The difference with this particular workshop over others I have attended is the focus on the practical; whereas other business seminars stop at identifying problems, very few provide firms with an idea of what to do about them – we now have an extensive ‘to do’ list but we have also have far greater peace of mind and a roadmap of how to get to where we want to be. The insights provided went far beyond what we wanted to achieve with implications across all practice areas. We now have a clarity and confidence that was previously absent. I would challenge anyone to go along to the workshop and not come out at the end feeling that worries have been dissipated and replaced by clarity, a sense of direction and the skills to put everything into action.” Adam Cresswell, Lawyer/Director, Seatons Solicitors
“I found Michelle’s ‘Profitable Practice Growth Secrets’ Workshop to be everything I wanted it to be. Practical, structured and with enough pressure to be present and deliver but more importantly it secured the time to think. The other attendees were friendly, supportive and critically, honest about their journeys and the challenges they faced. Together with the practical application and work deliverables set, this represented the most value for me. I came away with a greater motivation and much bigger plans for the business and I have signed up to the Profitable Practice Programme to work with Michelle over the next 12 months to implement those plans. If you’re serious about building your practice (at any stage or turnover) I would highly recommend Michelle and her team.” Shainul Kassam, Managing Director, Fortune Law
“I wanted to find out more about how to make my practice profitable whilst still maintaining a good work/life balance. Finding time in the working week to take a day off to attend a workshop is difficult but I found the workshop to be really beneficial. It really made me think about what I needed to do to make the best use of my time and make the business run more efficiently. Since attending the workshop I have started to improve our systems so that we can utilise the support staff in a more efficient way and keep salary costs to a minimum. Michelle was very helpful and knowledgeable and I would certainly attend one of her events again.” Sarah Clowes, Partner/Owner, Clowes & Co Solicitors
“The Profitable Practice Secrets Workshop was thought provoking, giving rise to lots of fresh ideas when considering firm strategy. For me it has emphasised the need for an holistic approach to change in all areas of the business, be that at firm-wide and departmental level, to be applied to business planning, process change, BD/marketing, recruitment and all key decisions.” Chris Bishop, Managing Partner, Slater Heelis LLP Solicitors
“I found Michelle’s Profitable Practice Secrets to be a comprehensive day that unlocked the mysteries of the manageable steps required to get more clients and increase profits without working more hours. The ideas presented showed that small changes can make a big difference. I found the working examples really helpful in bringing the fee income figures to life. The course helped me identify my own personal obstacles and start on a bespoke plan to overcome them that I can now build upon. I came away feeling inspired and energised. The day after the course I was able to put into practice what I had learned. The day was also very useful for hearing other lawyers’ experiences. Definitely worth the money – a day out of the office well spent.” Rachael House, Head of Family Department, Mackrell Turner Garrett

“The ‘Profitable Practice Secrets’ workshop was an absolutely amazing day! I loved the venue, which had a totally different feel from the usual boring Hotel Conference rooms which enabled everyone to get into a different invigorating mind-set. Michelle Peters clearly has a passion in her subject. At the same time she has an encouraging and engaging manner that helped me clarify my thoughts and ambitions. In addition, she to understands well the journey ahead and how I can reach my chosen destination.

I heard about Michelle and her ‘Profitable Practice Secrets’ workshop via a friend who had attended this workshop previously herself. I attended the workshop because I wanted some clarity / structure on running my business, as I had so many ideas and goals but did not know where to start.

“I attended an online seminar Michelle held and, having enjoyed that, I wanted to learn more and so booked onto her Profitable Practice Secrets Workshop. I decided to attend because having been in business for a few years I thought it was time to revisit my business strategy and plan for the next few years. I initially had reservations about attending as meant I had to travel to London and I wasn’t sure that the investment would get me on the right track as I often find business courses to be interesting but they do not drill down into the specifics of what to do next. However, I came back from London tired but enthused and wrote my next 3 month plan (that Michelle had helped me formulate that day) on the train back to Manchester!” Emma Lewis, Director, EL Law

However I was very pleasantly surprised. Michelle passed on a lot of very useful information which made me look at my marketing in a different way. She went into quite a lot of detail with specific examples and explained everything in a simple and clear way inviting questions. I will definitely be putting into practice what I learnt. Thank you Michelle.” Karen Weiner, Family and Divorce Solicitor at The Law House

“Thanks for the great workshop on Wednesday (Profitable Practice Secrets). I felt energised by it and I really connected with the excellent profitable practice model that the workshop and your programme is based around. I intend implementing the guidance that you provided and to draw up a game plan to attract more of the right clients and to focus on prescribing value to what I do. I have definitely had the ‘come and get me’ approach and that needs to change. I found you truly inspirational and I rarely give away praise so readily. Keep up the great work.” Dan Jones, Owner, DHL Legal
“I decided to attend the online (virtual) version of The Profitable Practice Secrets Workshop because I’m based in Australia. I wanted help to improve and grow and I wasn’t disappointed. Michelle has clearly put a lot of thought into presenting her information in a format that is understandable and ready to be applied, highlighting key issues without being overly complex, and using catch phrases, diagrams and tools. She is a good presenter, and I enjoyed the format of the online workshop, including the opportunity to interact with other lawyers in break out “rooms”and open discussions. Although attending the workshop helped me see that my practice was probably in worse shape that I had initially thought, it also gave me valuable tools and the knowledge that improvement was feasible though a systematic approach targeting the right areas. I am very happy to recommend Michelle’s workshop to other lawyers.” James Irving, Irving Law, Perth (Australia)
