Think you need more leads? Think again. In this episode, Sasha Berson connects with Michael Patrick Strauch, a leading legal sales expert, to expose the hidden gaps that are silently killing your signed case numbers. Michael breaks down how top firms consistently convert 2–3x more clients from the same lead flow by changing how their intake teams connect, communicate, and close.
