New Client Acquisition Specialist

CLIENT ACQUISITION SPECIALIST 100% Remote | International Position | U.S. Eastern Time Hours This description is long, it is intentionally done so to make sure there is complete clarity in the role. About the Position We are a growing U.S.-based immigration law firm seeking an experienced Client Acquisition Specialist to take ownership of our front-end client acquisition process — from the moment a potential client contacts our firm through consultation, retention, and successful transition to our Case Management Team. This is a sales-focused, results-driven position for someone who understands lead management, sales conversion, CRM management, KPIs, follow-up, and accountability. The Client Acquisition Specialist will work closely with our Reception and Sales Teams to ensure leads are being handled properly, consultations are being scheduled and followed up on, opportunities are not being lost, and monthly client acquisition goals are being achieved. This person should not simply report numbers. We are looking for someone who can identify problems, understand why they are happening, and help implement solutions. Strong sales experience is REQUIRED. Immigration law experience is preferred but not required. We are willing to train an experienced sales professional on immigration services and our firm's processes. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Lead Management & Pipeline Oversight You will help oversee the firm's lead pipeline from initial inquiry through retention. Responsibilities include: Monitor all incoming leads and ensure they are properly entered into the CRM. Ensure new leads are contacted promptly. Monitor speed-to-lead and response times. Ensure leads are properly assigned to the appropriate team member. Identify leads that have not been contacted or followed up with. Monitor follow-up activity and overdue tasks. Identify stale leads and opportunities sitting in the pipeline. Ensure lead statuses and pipeline stages are accurate. Monitor lead quality and conversion by source. Identify bottlenecks within the sales pipeline. Help ensure that no qualified lead falls through the cracks. 2. Sales & Client Acquisition Monitor Sales Team performance and conversion results. Track individual and overall sales performance. Review sales calls, follow-ups, and outcomes. Identify why prospective clients are not converting.

Consultation Management The Client Acquisition Specialist will monitor the entire consultation pipeline. This includes: Consultations scheduled Consultations completed Cancellations Rescheduled consultations No-shows Consultation attendance/show rate Consultation outcomes Post-consultation follow-up Consultation-to-client conversion You will be responsible for identifying issues such as: Consultations being scheduled incorrectly. Incorrect team member or attorney being assigned. Missing consultation information. Prospective clients not receiving confirmations. No-shows not being contacted. Canceled consultations not being rescheduled. Consultation outcomes not being properly entered into the CRM. Prospective clients not receiving timely follow-up after consultations. The goal is to improve both consultation attendance and consultation-to-client conversion. 3.

KPIs may include: Total incoming leads Speed to lead Leads contacted Contact rate Qualified lead rate Consultations scheduled Consultation show rate Cancellation rate No-show rate Follow-up completion Consultation-to-client conversion Number of clients retained Revenue generated Sales performance by team member Reception lead-handling performance Missed calls Unreturned inquiries Lead source performance You should be comfortable reviewing these numbers regularly and identifying why performance has increased or decreased. We do not want someone who simply tells us: "Conversion was 18% this month." We want someone who asks: Why was it 18%? What happened to the other leads? Where are we losing them? What can we change to improve it? 4. ROI & Marketing Performance You will also assist management with understanding the financial performance of our lead-generation efforts. Responsibilities include: Track leads by marketing source. Track qualified leads by source. Track consultations by source. Track retained clients by source. Track revenue generated by source.

Leads not being reassigned when someone is unavailable. Uneven or inappropriate distribution of leads. Leads receiving delayed responses. Follow-up tasks being ignored.

Prospective clients who agreed to retain but were not followed up with. Potential clients who require additional follow-up before making a decision. 9.

Ensure important sales notes and information are transferred. Confirm the client's retained services are accurately documented. Identify delays in client onboarding.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR - NOT NEGOTIABLE We are looking for someone who naturally asks questions like: Why aren't these leads converting? Why did our consultation show rate decrease? Why are leads sitting untouched in Lawmatics? Are new leads being contacted quickly enough? Why is one salesperson converting significantly better than another? Are no-shows actually being followed up with? Are Reception's missed calls being returned? How many prospective clients said they were going to hire us but never completed payment? Which marketing sources are actually producing paying clients? Are our CRM numbers accurate? Where are we losing potential clients? What needs to change to improve the numbers? If you enjoy sales, numbers, accountability, problem-solving, and finding opportunities that others have missed, this may be the right position for you.
