Los Angeles, CA

  • Primary closer and top-producing rep, generating $4M+ in new revenue in two years selling high-ticket, done-with-you Facebook/Meta ads and AI intake programs to PI, immigration, workers’ comp, and other consumer law firms nationwide.
  • Run the full consultative sales cycle with firm owners and managing partners (45–60 minute Zooms): deep-dive discovery on caseload, intake, tech stack, ad spend, and revenue goals; live audits of their online presence and marketing; and tailored proposals tied to specific ROI targets and guarantees (e.g., 7–10 signed cases on $3–5k spend; year-over-year revenue-doubling guarantee for qualifying firms).
  • Position and close a 90-day implementation program with flat-fee pricing ($5,000/month for three months or $14,000 paid-in-full), 30-day launch guarantees, and month-to-month continuation, consistently overcoming objections around Meta performance, past agency failures, signal/attribution issues, and legal risk.
  • Serve as a bridge between law firms and technical teams, translating complex marketing and engineering concepts into clear business outcomes:
    White-labeled Go High Level CRM build-outs for law firms (with multi-brand/multi-practice setups).
    Integrations with SugarCRM, Maris, HubSpot, and other platforms via webhooks and Zapier/Make.

  • Sell and manage exclusivity structures (e.g., immigration firms exclusive to Chicago market), NDAs, and competitor carve-outs; provide references and performance examples (e.g., high-volume immigration firms spending $30–40k/month on Meta) to de-risk decisions for sophisticated buyers.
  • Leverage MLA’s track record running its own PI, Lemon Law, workers’ comp, and immigration firms (including ClickFunnels “Two Comma Club” awards for $20M+ annual revenue) as social proof and strategic framing in sales conversations.
  • Act as a de facto COO/Director of Operations for two national consumer law firms within the MLA group, helping shape intake workflows, referral/contract counsel structures, and AI-enabled “assembly line” pre-suit operations that marketing and sales feed into.
