eLuminate

Law Firms can greatly improve their efficiency by using a case or lead management software. Lead management refers to the managing of a potential client, while case management refers to the managing of a client once they already retained your law firm to represent them. Good lead management software for law firms should streamline your intake process and make it easier for you to convert a potential case into a retained case. It should also allow you to run reports to see which of your methods of acquiring leads is most effective.

A good case management for law firms will make your law firm more efficient as you will no longer have to go looking for a client’s file in a cabinet. A case management software will be able to store all interactions with the client, important documents associated with a case, contact info and anything else associated with a case in a central location.

eLuminate, a client management system offered by eGenerationMarketing, can be used both as a lead and a case management system. Software that utilizes both features will save your firm a great deal of time and improve efficiency as you will not have to transfer information to a different software once you have converted a lead into a case.

Having both lead and client management in one convenient location will also allow you to better keep track of your return-on-investment (ROI) of different marketing campaigns. The true ROI of any legal marketing campaign cannot be measured until you are able to decipher what percentage of cases from each marketing campaign you are winning and what the average fee on those cases are.
