1. Define what a qualified inquiry means in your service area
A Hot Springs Village firm may serve matters connected with a community recorded across Garland County and Saline County. That geographic relationship makes location an important intake question, but it does not tell you whether a visitor has a case your firm accepts. A useful flow can collect the facts your team needs to make an initial fit decision rather than treating every name and message as equivalent. Bosseo describes CLIONT as a guided survey that qualifies inquiries by case type, urgency and fit, with question paths built around practice areas.
Recommended approach
List the practice areas you want the intake to distinguish. For each one, identify the facts that affect an initial review, the geographic questions that matter to your firm, and the conditions that require human escalation. Keep those rules separate from assumptions about the size or needs of Hot Springs Village. The consultation should leave you with a clear answer to: what should reach the calendar, what should reach staff review, and what should receive a different response?
