Understanding the 5 Stages of Lead Conversion for Lawyers
Lead generation for lawyers is the second most expensive thing a law firm will spend on other than payroll and office space and it’s getting more expensive. We have established a working process for lead conversion that is being used successfully by thousands of attorneys across the country.
It begins with understanding the five stages of lead conversion for lawyers:
You need to be able to track how many leads are coming in — via phone, via your website — all areas.
Law firms need to track how many leads turn into appointments — how many come in via phone, via the website, etc. The biggest mistake and time waster is to try to convert someone over the phone — get them into the office and you’ll have a higher chance of converting them into a paying client.
Track this information — it’s important. You may set numerous appointments, but knowing how many SHOW UP is vital.
You need to know if you are CONVERTING your leads into clients.
Just because they left your office, doesn’t mean you cannot close them as a client later.
