Nearshore Transition: Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction
We migrated a lead generation and legal intake operation from an in-house model in Oklahoma, U.S., to a nearshore model in Mexico. The change was implemented to optimize costs, improve operational efficiency, and build a more scalable structure, while maintaining service continuity and lead quality at all times.
Migrate without losing any deals or compromising lead quality
The client needed to transition its operations to a more efficient and profitable model while maintaining service continuity during the transition. The challenge was to complete the ramp-up within the expected timeframe, train the team on the legal intake process, maintain a steady flow of closed cases despite staff turnover, and ensure that the leads sent to the law firms met quality and eligibility criteria. The goal was to demonstrate that a nearshore model could achieve results comparable to or better than the in-house model, with a significantly lower cost structure.
A nearshore team specializing in lead generation and legal intake
Wepartner set up a specialized nearshore team in Cancún, equipped to contact registries, gather key information, validate initial criteria, confirm interest, and schedule meetings with law firms. A structured process of training, onboarding, ongoing coaching, and KPI monitoring was developed, which helped stabilize operations and reduce COGs without disrupting business continuity.
