How a Personal-Injury Law Firm Reduced Intake Response to 11 Seconds

As a PI firm handling auto accidents and workplace injuries, speed-to-lead is everything. The firm's average response time was 4+ hours during business hours and 12+ hours for after-hours inquiries. With 40-60% of qualified PI leads choosing the first firm that responds, they estimated losing 15-20 viable cases per month worth $8,000-$15,000 each.
