1. Daily Call Volume: Setting Realistic Targets for Maximum Outreach.

One of the most crucial KPIs for law firms is the daily call volume of the intake team. If your firm isn’t making enough calls, you’re likely missing out on potential clients.

Why This KPI Matters:

• Optimal Call Numbers: If your intake team is handling lead qualification and document collection, aim for at least 100 calls per day.
• Quality Over Quantity: While call volume is important, it must be balanced with engagement levels. A high volume of rushed or unqualified calls won’t translate into conversions.
• Connection Time: If your team makes 100 calls a day, they should be actively speaking with clients for at least 2.5 hours.

2. Average Talk Time per Call: Measuring Engagement and Effectiveness.

While the number of calls is important, the quality of interactions is equally critical. Tracking the average talk time per call helps law firms measure how effectively intake staff engage with leads.

Key Insights:

• Sign-Up Calls: Should last around 30 minutes, allowing time for proper client qualification and legal explanations.
• Disqualified Leads: Calls should be concise, ideally around 5 minutes, to optimize efficiency.
• Engagement Level: Longer, high-quality conversations often lead to higher conversion rates.

Our Inscale global Assistants can pre-qualify leads, ensuring that only the most promising prospects reach your attorneys, saving your team valuable time and effort.

3. Conversion Rate: The Ultimate Performance Indicator.

A firm’s conversion rate is the percentage of leads that turn into signed clients. This is perhaps the most important KPI in determining intake efficiency.

How to Improve This KPI:

• Track Qualified Leads: Monitor how many leads are classified as qualified and how many convert into clients.
• Healthy Benchmark: A strong intake process should achieve at least 30% conversion, while anything below 10% indicates major room for improvement.
• Lead Handling Optimization: Poor conversion rates often signal problems in intake follow-up, rather than marketing strategy.

By managing follow-ups, scheduling consultations, and nurturing leads, our Inscale global Assistants ensure that fewer potential clients slip through the cracks.

4. Sign-Ups vs. Qualified Leads: Tracking Intake Performance.

Law firms must monitor the number of qualified leads versus actual sign-ups. Without this KPI, firms might be generating leads but failing to convert them due to ineffective intake strategies.

What to Track:

• Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Metrics: Analyze sign-up trends over different timeframes.
• Marketing vs. Intake: If marketing is generating qualified leads but intake isn’t converting them, adjustments are needed in intake follow-up, not marketing strategy.

How Inscale global Assistants Help:

Our Inscale global Assistants manage intake tracking, reporting, and follow-up strategies to ensure leads don’t go cold.

5. Speed to Lead: Timing is Everything.

Studies show that law firms that respond within 5 minutes of an inquiry see a 300% increase in client sign-ups.

Best Practices for Fast Follow-Ups:

• Immediate Response: Use automated texts, emails, or booking links to engage leads instantly.
• Follow-Up Strategy:
  • Day 1: Call at least three times at different times.
  • Days 2-5: Mix up calls, texts, and emails.
