Date: 10/30/2010

ST. LOUIS, MO., October 30, 2010 . . .

Olmstead & Associates recently announced that Dr. John W. Olmstead, president of the legal management consulting group, will speak at the Law Practice Managment Class at John Marshall Law School in Chicago, on the topic of “Improving Client Loyalty Through Exceptional Service”.  In this uncertain economic climate, maintaining a solid client base is critical to remaining successful. The best way to maintain your client base is by exhibiting exceptional client service through effective communication. Providing outstanding service on an ongoing basis is one of the best ways for law firms to differentiate themselves, manage the overall client experience and improve loyalty and retention. Poor communication skills within law firms cause management problems, cause bar complaints and impede best in class client service. Dr. John Olmstead shares insights and tips on improving interpersonal communications skills both within the office and with clients and colleagues.

The presentation will be held October 30, 2010, at 6:00 p.m. at John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois.
