How To Start A Legal Courier Service Business
The legal industry can provide great business to a courier
company. Attorneys often use same day delivery services for
transporting legal documents to and from offices , as well as
courts. Legal professionals also use courier services for
delivering last minute evidence to court rooms, which often is a
last minute on demand or rush delivery service. These accounts
can provide great income for a growing courier company and
should be pursued aggressively.
A small local courier company can easily aquire these local
legal offices and gain a nice income from them. The first step
would be to publish a newsletter or brochure and have a sales
representative personally introduce themselves to the owner and
present the marketing papers. A personal introduction between
local business can gain a great relationship of trust and word
of mouth between other legal offices may increase your business
with little effort at all.
If presenting your company in person is not your style,
preforming monthly "mailers" can work just as well, either way
you are "cold" selling, by meeting in person you have more of a
chance to present your company and warming up the potential
client, however, there is the risk of a bad presentation. A bad
first impression can cause many negative effects, so simply
mailing your marketing brochure to every local legal office a
few times might just do the trick. The conversion rates are not
as high as a in person meeting, but with some persistence they
can be effective. A few mailers spread out over a few months
could prove very effective.
The legal industry is a very good resource for the growing
courier company. The best way to gain the account is dependable
on which way you feel you can better represent your company to a
potential customer. If you are not a salesmen or do not have a
sales representive who is capable of handling such a task, a
mailer is the right option for you. If you are personable and
able to present yourself and your company well, by stopping by
the office you will increase conversion rates and have a better
chance of landing the account.
