8 minutesYou hit play. Your team member fidgets as their voice fills the room. The call wasn’t terrible, but there’s a precise moment that needs correction.

8 minutesThere’s a reason intake feels chaotic in so many law firms. You answer the phone when it rings, train the team when something goes wrong, and try to fix problems as they arise. It’s reactive. It’s inconsistent. And frankly, it’s not sustainable without a clear law firm intake discipline in
8 minutesFrom Coached to Confident If you’ve ever coached an intake rep through a call and thought, “They don’t even realize what they did well,” you’re not alone.

6 minutesEffective intake feedback isn’t optional, it’s the backbone of a strong intake culture. Yet too often, law firms rely on “now and then” coaching: a call reviewed here, a comment dropped there, maybe a quick “good job” or “don’t do that again.” The problem? Sporadic feedback creates uncertainty. Reps don’t
