Our Annual Conference TGR Live! Growth Strategies for Law Firms briought together three powerful perspectives on why law firms lose far more cases at intake than they realize. The session opens with Ben Leader, who shows how his firm grew signed cases by 200% by fixing internal process instead of increasing marketing spend. He breaks down the impact of audits, data accuracy, reduced attorney involvement, and relentless focus on conversion rates. Next, Chris Mullins demonstrates how untrained intake staff, poor empathy, and missed call-review cycles create damaging client experiences. Through real call analysis, she explains how law firms can replace guesswork with structured training, scripting, and continuous improvement. Finally, Ted DeBettencourt reveals how rapid responses to LSA and GBP messages significantly increase rankings, visibility, and total lead flow. Together, these insights give firms a complete view of the operational, human, and technological gaps that limit growth in modern client intake.Key Topics03:37 – Learn how Ben reframed lead problems as intake problems and uncovered growth hidden inside his existing call volume.04:37 – See why his firm’s roller-coaster revenue stabilized only after cleaning up intake and centralizing data.09:51 – Understand the turning point when Ben chose to invest in intake rather than more marketing spend.13:44 – Learn why hiring, tools, and expert coaching are the three investments that transformed his intake performance.16:07 – Hear what a full intake audit reveals about missed calls, abandoned leads, and data gaps.23:41 – See how small percentage increases in wanted conversion rates drive hundreds of cases and millions in revenue.27:45 – Discover how AI call summaries, sentiment scoring, and tracking improve training and accountability.35:28 – Learn why listening to calls exposes the real gap between training and reality and how fixing it changes everything.40:18 – Hear Chris Mullins break down empathy, pivoting, and why intake must be trained like a sales role.50:37 – Follow Ted DeBettencourt as he reveals how fast LSA and GBP message responses boost rankings and triple lead flow.58:03 – Q&A with the PanelistsResources MentionedTech / ToolsLead Docket – Lead management and intake tracking - https://www.leaddocket.comCallRail – Call tracking, recording, transcription, sentiment analysis - https://www.callrail.comGoogle Local Services Ads (LSA) – Pay-per-lead ads and messaging - https://ads.google.com/local-services-ads/Google Business Profile Messaging (GBP SMS) - https://support.google.com/businessAbout our Guests:Ben Leader is a Personal Injury attorney at Elrod Pope Law Firm, known for his client-focused...
