1. Start with the geography your intake team hears
A caller may identify with Edgewater, another Volusia County community, or a location outside the firm’s intended service area. Intake Coach is suited to coaching on city-versus-county distinctions, so your team can ask location questions consistently instead of relying on assumptions. The Census record identifies Edgewater city as a municipality in Volusia County; it does not show where prospective clients come from or whether a particular matter belongs in the firm’s practice. A useful review should therefore examine whether the intake conversation captures the caller’s location, the relevant jurisdiction, and any deadline or court information that affects attorney review.
Recommended approach
Decide which geographic questions are necessary for each practice area. Ask the responsible attorney to approve the wording and the point at which a call should be referred, declined, or escalated. Use the resulting rubric to identify missed location or jurisdiction questions in actual calls.
