Strategy

90-Day Plan

Midsize firms grow on trust, responsiveness, and senior attention. This 90-day operating plan demonstrates how UB Greensfelder can turn those strengths into measurable growth.

The Approach

Referrals, visibility, and client retention — not campaigns.

The first 90 days focus on clarity, not complexity. Understand how the firm actually wins work, build small pilots that prove results, then scale what works. By Day 90, leadership has visibility into where growth originates, which relationships drive revenue, and how attorneys build visibility without adding effort.

Results in 90 days
Phase 1 — Days 1–30

Learn How the Firm Actually Gets Hired

Understand how relationships and revenue actually work before proposing changes.

What I'll Learn

Discovery and understanding

  • Meet key stakeholders across leadership and practices.
  • Understand how business development and client intake really work today.
  • Review what data exists — and what partners and staff actually use.
  • Identify friction points that slow attorneys or BD down.

What I'll Identify

Key insights and opportunities

  • Who actually sends the firm work (people and institutions, not channels).
  • Which top clients currently use only one or two practices.
  • 10–15 natural referrers or clients ideal for a pilot.

Build the Engines
