After 100+ deployments, we stopped investing in marketing automation for our private legal clients. Why?
Marketing automation is taking the legal world by storm. It’s sold as a magic bullet of sorts, which has led to a trend of big investments in automation. But for most firms including small firms, it fails to deliver on its promise. And it comes at a big cost: most automation services cost $2-3k per month.
