1. Start with Sallisaw’s actual service footprint
Your firm may serve people in Sallisaw, elsewhere in Sequoyah County, or outside that county. Those geographic relationships should be explicit in your intake rules rather than left to an individual staff member’s judgment. The Census record identifies Sallisaw city and Sequoyah County; it does not show where callers come from or which matters your firm accepts. Intake Coach’s stated purpose is to make each intake conversation more useful through a review of the call, its key facts, and the coaching that follows. That creates a basis for examining whether staff consistently establish location, jurisdiction, deadlines, and case fit.
Recommended approach
Define the geographic questions that matter to your practice. Review whether a caller is in Sallisaw, elsewhere in Sequoyah County, or outside the area your firm serves; then determine who handles an uncertain jurisdiction, referral, or escalation. Do not use population as a substitute for this review.
