Listen Later

Most PI firms have no idea how much money they’re losing to voicemail — and the numbers are shocking.

In this episode, Gary shares a real story from a national legal marketer who discovered a firm paying $1,800 per lead… while sending those calls straight to voicemail. The result? Missed cases, wasted budget, and an intake process that can’t support the firm’s marketing ambitions.

In this episode:

🔹Why voicemail = lost revenue in PI

🔹The shocking behavior marketers can’t understand

🔹Why firms scale ad spend before scaling intake

🔹The truth about “calling back” (and why it never works)

🔹Behavioral economics: why people hire whoever answers first

By the end, you’ll understand exactly why conversions are dropping — and the one intake metric every PI firm must fix immediately.
