Most lawyers are trapped in feast-or-famine mode, manually chasing leads and burning out. What if your firm could attract qualified prospects, convert them automatically, and scale without the constant hustle?

Sam Mollaei and Neil Tyra unveil the Rapid Law Firm Growth Formula—a proven 6-step system combining high-converting ads, virtual intake specialists, and ROI tracking. Learn how to create ads that attract your ideal clients, qualify leads automatically, and let virtual intake sign clients while you focus on practicing law.

Key Takeaways from Sam and Neil:

1. Create Ads To Attract Leads

Run targeted ads that address audience pain points, like "Injured in an accident?" with strong CTAs such as "Click ‘Learn More’ to see if you qualify," and leverage platform optimization for better performance.

2. Qualify Leads

Use tools like Facebook Lead Forms or landing pages to ask essential questions that filter out unqualified leads, and automate the process with tools like ChatGPT to streamline qualification.

3. Integrate Leads Into a CRM

Automate lead management by connecting CRM tools like Zapier to ensure seamless data flow and set up automated follow-ups through text and email.

4. Have Dedicated Virtual Intakers To Sign Up Clients For You

Hire virtual intake specialists to focus on qualifying and signing up clients quickly, offering a cost-effective solution, and ensuring timely follow-ups to maximize conversions.

5. Scale Marketing Budget to Match ROI

Track CPA and CLV to assess profitability and scale spending on campaigns with at least a 200% ROI, using live dashboards to reallocate funds effectively.

6. Rinse and Repeat

Refine ads, automations, and processes regularly to improve performance and scale into new markets once the system is running smoothly.

"We've seen ourselves becoming closer to more and more of the virtual intake. It's like we're what we focus on. Much easier, much faster, more room to scale, easier to train." — Sam Mollaei

"Having the data to make that decision is key, and your live dashboard is the penultimate development of those numbers, to the point where you have this graphic and visual tool that lets you answer these questions in real time. It makes the decision point easier." — Neil Tyra
