Gary Falkowitz is a man of many talents. He’s an attorney, author, consultant and the CEO of Intake Conversion Experts, an external phone answering service for law firms that facilitates lead follow-up, mass tort campaign retention, lead resurrection and more. On today’s show, Gary shares with us his journey from lawyer to independent consultant to CEO of one of the most invaluable services for law firm owners around the country. We discuss where most firms fail when it comes to their intake departments and what they should focus on to improve them, and why it’s simply not enough just to rely on a polite telephone manner when trying to sign cases.
