LegalChatMake the Most of Your Law Practice’s Intake Process and Resources
Most law practices strive to provide the best service to their clients. Great service is a must, but the client experience includes every interaction that clients and prospects have with your firm. And that all starts with intake.
Your intake process will either make or break the relationship with prospective clients. No matter how they reached out to you, whether it is through your website or a traditional referral – it is crucial to present yourself as a useful resource to prospective clients.
The Intake Team
When choosing staff to handle client intake, be sure to choose team members who will represent your firm in the best possible light. Come up with a standardized list of questions your employees will use to gather information. Train your team to engage in active listening during the intake process. That will save your team time and effort later.
Understanding your potential clients’ needs and real-world situations will help determine if they and your practice are a good fit. Through the intake process, your team should also be on the lookout for how serious the prospect is about retaining your services.
