LAW FIRM MARKETING AND DIVERSITY concludes this series. Efforts to overcome a client's mis-understandings of the value diversity brings can be divided into two fundamental approaches. First, understanding the client. You know his/her predilections on a sensitive social issue. Because you know them, you are able to create a marketing message that balances the equation and maintains the relationships on both ends, with him and with other buyers who have very different predilections.Second, and on the other hand, understanding that marketing is all about delivering value. You don't need to convert him philosophically. You need to show why something that's important to you is simultaneously essential to him/her.If all fails because your client or client target are actually sexists or racists … well, to hell with them?
