    Welcome to episode 59 of The Earley Show, hosted by personal injury attorney Christopher Earley! For this conversation, Chris is joined for the second time by Jenn Gore, founder of Evergreen Business Coaching.Jenn and Chris go deep on the intake system she installs in firms around the country: the dedicated new client line, why manual lead entry both loses cases and invites outright fraud, the audit process that catches misclassified leads, and the 30-day chase sequence most firms never build. She also explains Greg Crabtree’s “black hole” between $2 million and $5 million, why the most broken department in most firms is production rather than intake, and why she would not sign a long-term CRM contract right now.00:00 Welcome back — a return guest, two and a half years later01:24 Selling her firm, joining Sweet James, and walking awa07:13 Running national intake: what she found and fixed08:10 Why you need a dedicated new client line09:13 Manual lead entry is a hole in the bucket10:24 Intake fraud: leads sold out the back door for $10,00010:44 Auditing every single call that comes in12:29 The 30-day chase sequence15:11 Chris: I meet with intake more than my COO17:52 The most broken department in every firm (it isn’t intake)20:39 Evergreen Business Coaching: who it’s built for24:29 Labor ratio and the lag built into contingency30:58 Coaching outside of law — and COO services33:06 Where this is all going: AI, and CRMs under threat37:31 Do not sign long-term software deals right now38:11 How to reach Jenn40:02 Chris’s why: being the father he didn’t have44:29 Vision boards, big checks, and writing the future down45:33 “One day you will sell your law firm”About our guestJenn Gore is the founder of Evergreen Business Coaching, where she works with personal injury firm owners around the country on intake, operations and scale.
