Speechworks Introduces The Asher Company  Helping Lawyers Grow Their Practice.

Speechworks has formed The Asher Company, a selling and communication skills coaching firm for lawyers.  The company’s mission is to help lawyers learn the selling and communication skills that win and keep clients.

“Speechworks has been working with lawyers for more than 15 years, helping them win business and communicate more effectively,” said Joey Asher, President of the company and a former practicing lawyer. “We have developed a large practice with lawyers and we wanted them to know that we have special programs to help them.”

The Asher Company offers lawyers a range of programs including:

  • The Client Connection: a selling skills workshop for lawyers.
  • Individualized Business Development Coaching: helping lawyers create and execute business development plans.  We work with individuals, client teams, and practice groups.
  • Client Communication Skills Programs: coaching lawyers in how to communicate effectively with clients in meetings, briefings, and other key communication situations.  Programs including learning how to communicate effectively “off the cuff” and in other “think on your feet” situations.
  • Pitch Coaching: helping lawyers create and deliver effective “beauty contest” presentations.

Lawyers have unique challenges in generating clients, said Asher.  “While attorneys have to generate business, they also have to bill 2000 hours a year,” he said. “You can’t do that effectively without an effective plan and the skills to execute the plan.”

“Our overall philosophy is that to win business lawyers need to understand the prospects’ businesses,” Asher added. “And to keep the business, you need to communicate with clients with an eye toward helping clients achieve their business goals, not just getting the right legal answer.”

The Asher Company is a selling and communication skills coaching company that works with lawyers.  The company offers workshops, seminars and private coaching.  For more information call us at 404-442-4488 or check out our website at www.theasherco.com.
