Data-Driven Growth with Kerri Coby White

In this episode, Alay and Kerri discuss: 

• Why you should be tracking your lead data and how to leverage that data to inform decision-making.
• Understanding the data to get transformative information about your clients and process. 
• The top numbers you should know about your law firm.

Key Takeaways: 

• If you are not collecting data on where your leads are coming from or how many are converting, start collecting that data now. 
• There is a difference between data and intelligence. Data are the black and white facts, intelligence is what is derived from that data. The translation of that data to get the intelligence is where the magic happens. 
• “If we have data, let’s look at the data. If all we have are opinions, let’s go with mine.” – Jim Barksdale, former CEO of Netscape
• You already have data in your firm – it’s a matter of centralizing it, collaborating between teams, and working with the data that is already there. 

Tweetable Moments:

• ” The fact is that most really don’t know their numbers. And knowing your numbers is really important to improving those numbers. You can’t fix what you don’t acknowledge.” —  Kerri Coby White
• “Your intake team needs to be selling your firm.” —  Kerri Coby White
• “You may be the best at what you do, but it’s often just the best-known that gets the attention. You need to invest a bit in your reputation, invest a bit in your marketing, and measure that so that you can say this was a positive return on investment.” —  Kerri Coby White
