Step 1: Preparation Before the Call
Check Clio
Look up the caller's number or name in Clio to determine if they are an existing client or someone the firm has previously communicated with.
Verify the Call Log
Check the call log to ensure the caller has not already been spoken to regarding the same issue. Avoid duplicating responses or follow-ups.
Step 2: Returning the Call
Use the following script when making the call:
"Hi, this is Sophia with DK Law Group. I'm returning your call on behalf of Attorney Khan. How can I assist you?"
Step 3: Handling the Conversation
New Inquiry:
If the caller is a new potential client, follow the firm’s intake procedures to gather necessary details and begin the intake process.
Existing Client:
If the caller is an existing client:
Try to address their questions or concerns to the best of your ability.
If you cannot answer their questions or need further input:
Option 1: Schedule a call with Diana if necessary.
Option 2: Inform the caller that Diana will follow up via email. Use this phrasing:
"Diana will review this and follow up with you via email shortly."
Step 4: Documentation
After the call, document the conversation in Clio. Include:
The caller's name and details of the inquiry or issue discussed.
Actions taken (e.g., scheduled a call with Diana, noted for email follow-up, etc.).
After the call document the conversation in the Call log
Key Notes
Always maintain a professional and courteous tone.
If unsure about how to proceed during the call, politely let the caller know you will get clarification and follow up promptly.
Ensure prompt communication of any urgent matters to Sophia.
