Want to know when most firms lose the client? Before minute four.
In this episode, Gary Falkowitz breaks down exactly what your intake team must say in the first 3 minutes to keep the potential client engaged, confident, and committed.
This episode ties together two earlier foundations we’ve already laid:
🔵 In Episode 004, we introduced CPR in 15 seconds—the importance of showing compassion and proactive reassurance immediately.
🔵 In Episode 008, we unpacked why your team must make a clear decision within 3 minutes—Retain, Refer, or Reject.
Now, in Episode 012, we connect those principles into a full 3-minute framework that shows how to earn trust, lead the call, and close the gap between interest and commitment—fast.
You’ll learn:
🔹How to open the call to build emotional trust
🔹What phrases make clients stay—or leave
🔹How to train your team to lead with clarity
🔹The formula for a winning intake opener
Biggest Insight:
You’ve got 180 seconds. If you don’t lead them well, the client will lead themselves elsewhere.
