1. Start with the calls your firm actually receives
Population data should not be used to predict how many prospective clients contact a law firm. Elkins Park’s recorded population estimate is 7,213, but that figure does not establish search behavior, phone traffic, case mix, or the number of calls that reach your office. Your review should therefore begin with the firm’s own intake experience. Identify which calls are new inquiries, existing-client calls, referrals, administrative requests, emergencies, or matters outside the firm’s scope. Then decide which conversation types should be evaluated and what a useful intake outcome looks like for each one. Intake Coach’s public description says every intake call is recorded, transcribed, tagged by case type, scored, and analyzed. Before adopting that model, ask how your firm defines an intake call and which calls should receive attention.
Recommended approach
Bring a representative description of your current call flow to the consultation. Do not use Elkins Park population as a proxy for volume. Use your own records to decide whether call review should focus on qualification, consultation scheduling, follow-up, attorney escalation, or another clearly defined outcome.
