390. After the Phone Rings: Managing Leads at Volume w/ Rob Levine

When a call hits Rob Levine’s firm, it’s instantly scrubbed against the CRM, classified as a lead, vendor, or existing client, and routed to the right person based on case type and closing performance. Nothing is random. And nothing touches intake unless it’s worth closing. In this episode, Rob breaks down how his firm handles massive lead volume without leaks by using performance-based routing, real-time system logic, and a first-call-close mentality that treats intake like sales, not reception. You'll learn: Why Rob refuses to route calls evenly—and how reps are ranked instead. How he automatically separates new leads, vendors, and existing clients. Why you should never put intake calls on hold. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe. We do this every week. Buy tickets for PIMCON 2026: pimcon.org Get Social!

What happens when a three-generation PI firm stops relying on its name and starts operating with urgency?

384. The Real Reason PI Firms Lose Control as They Scale w/ Brett Schreiber

Most PI firms don’t lose control because they stop caring or stop trying, they lose control because their systems can’t handle scale.

You’ll learn: Why scaling exposes operational cracks faster than legal mistakes The real risk of adding headcount before systems are ready When C-suite leadership becomes necessary, and why fractional roles matter early How to support elite trial lawyers at scale without turning cases into inventory If you like what you hear, hit subscribe.
