Someone genuinely warm who can sit with a person in crisis, earn their trust in the first two minutes, and confidently guide them toward the decision that's actually best for them: hiring us, today, before they make a mistake that costs them their case.The customer service instincts matter here, but they're in service of something bigger: helping someone make the right call, quickly, when it counts most. If you've spent your career persuading people, building trust fast, and helping them act decisively instead of stalling, we want to talk to you.Compensation: $45,000 - $55,000QualificationsWho We're Looking For:We've hired plenty of people who were great on the phone and still fell short in this role because they were built for service alone. That's not this job.

People can tell the difference in the first sentence2+ years in a performance-driven, client-facing role with a track record of hitting or exceeding measurable goals (insurance, legal intake, real estate, financial services, or high-volume client consultation all translate well)Advanced phone skills and the ability to run a structured conversation without sounding like you're running a scriptStrong data entry and CRM accuracy under time pressureComfort asking direct, sometimes uncomfortable questions and staying in control of the callA demonstrated ability to work through hesitation and help people reach a decisionResponsibilitiesField inbound calls and chat leads from people who were just in an accident, often frightened, in pain, and talking to a lawyer for the first time in their livesBuild rapport fast enough to earn the details of their accident, their injuries, and their situation, all while they're deciding in real time whether they trust youAddress hesitation (I need to think about it, I already talked to my insurance company, my brother's a lawyer) directly, confidently, and with a genuine case for why waiting hurts themGuide qualified callers to a decision before they hang up and call the next firm on their Google searchDocument every call accurately and completely in our CRM, because a great conversation that isn't recorded properly is a wasted oneRoute legal questions to an attorney, but own everything up to that lineFollow up on chat leads and missed calls with real urgency, because a lead that goes cold in an hour is a lead we lose
