MVA intake readiness checklist
MVA live transfers only work when intake is ready. This checklist helps law firms prepare before testing or scaling qualified accident calls.
What your firm can review
Direct answer path
Use a direct intake number and backup number so live callers reach a person quickly.
Approved schedule
Route only during hours your team is ready to answer and qualify MVA inquiries.
Tracking discipline
Track answer rate, consult rate, retained cases, disputes, and cost per signed case.
Before MVA transfers start
- Confirm accepted states, counties, and metros.
- Confirm accepted case types and excluded categories.
- Set intake hours in the correct time zone.
- Provide a direct transfer number and backup number.
- Set a daily cap that matches staffing.
- Prepare an intake script for MVA callers.
- Document billable and dispute rules.
- Track answer rate, consults, signed cases, and dispute reasons.
Not every firm should buy live calls yet
If intake regularly misses calls, does not call back quickly, or cannot identify accepted MVA criteria, the firm should fix intake coverage before increasing live transfer volume.
Review the process before scaling
Trust questions
Why does intake readiness matter?
Live transfers lose value if the intake team misses calls or cannot qualify the caller quickly.
Can I start with a low daily cap?
Yes. A small daily cap is often the best way to test quality while protecting intake coverage.
What should I track first?
Track answer rate, consultation rate, signed cases, dispute rate, and cost per signed case.
