TRP 148: Attracting Better Clients with Davina Frederick

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Davina Frederick, business coach and founder of Wealthy Woman Lawyer, about how professionals can attract better clients by refining their marketing message and defining their ideal client profile. Davina shares insights on how law firm owners, particularly women, can scale their businesses by identifying the clients they truly want to work with—those who pay well, respect their time, and align with their values. She explains that professionals don’t have to tolerate difficult clients and can proactively shape their client base through intentional marketing and positioning. Key topics include how to determine what makes a client "better" based on financial viability, compatibility, and service alignment, shifting marketing messaging to attract ideal clients, and overcoming money mindset challenges that prevent professionals from charging what they’re worth. Davina also discusses leveraging automation, refining business processes, and building a brand that naturally draws in high-value clients. This episode provides actionable strategies for law firm owners and service professionals looking to work with clients who align with their business and personal goals.

She believes there's a way to wealth that doesn't sacrifice wellness. She knows this because she has lived it. Davina founded and grew her own successful law firm business with $5,000 in startup capital, $80,000 in student loan debt, and no backup plan. But she was hungry to succeed and confident that it was the right move. She hired an assistant, upgraded her office, added hundreds of clients, and drove revenue higher and higher. She was living the dream. But there was one problem: She was miserable. Davina was not just a litigator. She was the senior partner, managing attorney, firm administrator, and unofficial therapist for her clients and her team. She was depleted. Her marriage and health were unraveling. She started to worry she was going to drop dead from cardiac arrest before she found a solution. Hitting rock bottom forced her to think about what she wanted. She realized that what she wanted was more than just money. It was space. Flexibility to work when, where, and how much she wanted. Freedom to take time off without her business falling apart. So she took a leap: she launched a virtual law firm business with the help of a mentor who introduced her to the life-changing power of coaching. Her coach taught her that she could design a law firm that didn't destroy her life and health. In fact, it could enhance it. This changed everything. Davina built a business that ran itself. She worked less. She earned more. She took time off, and the business churned on. And now she takes everything she's learned, and she teaches other women law firm owners to do the same. ---------------------------------------- This show is sponsored by Leopard Solutions Legal Intelligence Suite of products, Firmscape, and Leopard BI. Push ahead of the pack with the power of Leopard. For a free demo, visit this link: https://www.leopardsolutions.com/index.php/request-a-demo/ Links: https://www.wealthywomanlawyer.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/davinafrederick/ Learn more about your ad choices.
