    Why Your Conversion Report Is Lying to You [024]

    Your conversion report is lying to you. In this episode of The Intake Playbook Podcast, Gary Falkowitz reveals the invisible leak in your intake funnel: the clients who never make it into your data.

What You’ll Learn: 🔹Why good conversion numbers can be dangerously misleading 🔹How to track the leads that disappear before qualification 🔹The speed-to-lead standards your firm must enforce 🔹Why 24/7 coverage is the new baseline for intake 🔹How to stop losing cases before intake even begins 🎧 Don’t just measure signed agreements. Measure the opportunities you never even reached. Listen now.
