Sales training isn't optional for family law firms—it's the difference between 15% and 30% close rates on cold leads.

A lot of attorneys resist sales training because they think it's "dirty." The data shows attorneys sell constantly—to judges, clients, and peers. Our systematic approach at Sterling turned a 15% cold lead closer into a consistent 25-30% performer through daily role-play training and our Council College program. The result? You need fewer consultations to hit revenue targets, and your intake team development becomes predictable instead of hoping for natural talent.
