Featuring Jenn Gore, this episode explores why more marketing is not always the answer and how fixing intake systems can unlock significant growth opportunities for law firms.
“Many law firms are focused on generating more leads, but growth often starts by fixing what happens after the phone rings. Jenn’s insights show how improving intake can dramatically impact a firm’s results.”

CORAL SPRINGS, FL, UNITED STATES, June XX, 2026 — In a new episode of The Firm Report, titled “Stop Pouring Money Into a Broken Bucket,” host Zach Hoffman, a leading law firm marketing expert, sits down with attorney, entrepreneur, and business coach Jenn Gore to discuss one of the most overlooked drivers of law firm growth: intake.
After building Atlanta Personal Injury Law Group into one of the fastest-growing law firms in the United States, Gore learned firsthand that generating more leads does not necessarily lead to more growth. Instead, she found that many firms struggle because of missed calls, poor follow-up processes, inefficient intake systems, and a lack of visibility into what happens after a prospective client reaches out.
During the conversation, Gore explains why law firms often focus heavily on marketing while overlooking the systems responsible for converting leads into clients. She shares practical strategies for improving intake operations, including dedicated intake teams, automated lead tracking, structured follow-up sequences, and technology that helps firms better manage incoming opportunities.
“You can pour more and more money into marketing, but if you don’t shore up your intake, it’s a nightmare,” Gore said.
Throughout the episode, Gore discusses the importance of measuring conversion rates, tracking missed and abandoned calls, and creating a client experience that combines efficiency with empathy. She emphasizes that firms can often achieve significant growth by improving the way they handle the leads they already generate rather than simply increasing marketing spend.
Hoffman and Gore also explore how artificial intelligence is changing intake management. From automated call summaries to identifying misqualified leads, AI-powered tools are helping law firms better evaluate intake performance and uncover missed opportunities.
Gore also discusses her passion for helping law firm owners grow their businesses. Through Evergreen Business Coaching, she works with attorneys on topics such as intake, hiring, leadership, forecasting, and business planning.
“Many law firms are focused on generating more leads, but growth often starts by fixing what happens after the phone rings,” Hoffman said. “Jenn’s insights show how improving intake can dramatically impact a firm’s results.”
At its core, the episode delivers a powerful message for law firm owners: before investing more money into marketing, firms should ensure they have the systems, processes, and teams necessary to convert opportunities into results.
