Most law firm owners ask, "How do I get more clients?" This CEO asks, "Why am I losing the people already calling me?" In this episode, Sasha Berson welcomes Shireen Hilal, Founder and CEO of Maior Consultants, who grew one national firm's revenue by 20% and profits-per-partner by 30%. She exposes an uncomfortable truth: *Most* law firms drop the ball with intake after blowing thousands on ads. As she puts it, “Leaky buckets are an expensive way to gather water!" Shireen also reveals her one-page FAQ trick that instantly upgrades your client experience, and the *genius* move of hosting an intimate 6-person dinner that makes you the go-to lawyer across your entire market. Don’t miss this!


📰 About Shireen Hilal:
Shireen Hilal is not your typical consultant. She spent 10 years as an AmLaw100 litigator, then walked into some of the biggest professional services firms in the world, leading operations for a $1B KPMG division, driving growth at BDO, and serving as COO of a national law firm where she grew revenue by 20% and profits-per-partner by 30%. Today, she runs Maior Consultants (maior means "bigger" in Latin), helping law firms of every size (from 4-attorney boutiques to 300-lawyer organizations) build revenue, fix their profit margins, and achieve their most ambitious growth targets.

👉 Sasha and Shireen explore:
— The #1 intake mistake that scares away prospects in the first 30 seconds, *after* you've already paid to reach them.
— The one-page FAQ trick: How you can avoid getting chased by frustrated clients for answers on their case.
— The *genius* referral dinner strategy that costs nothing and works with just 2 employees.
— (Important!) The Four Seasons vs. Motel 6 question you *must* answer before spending another dollar on ads.

👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Audit your intake this week: have someone call your firm during business hours and test pickup rate, warmth, and ability to answer basic questions — then fix what's broken before spending another dollar on ads.
— Identify your top 3 referral sources and arrange a private dinner around them. Show up with a one-page branded FAQ they can hand to their clients.
— Run a profit margin reality check: if net profit is below 20%, map your top cost line items — labor, rent, marketing — and set a concrete goal to reach 30–40% within the next 12 months.
