Response measured in seconds
Not hours, and not only during office hours.
01 · Response
Every enquiry answered before it goes elsewhere.
The first business to reply to a new enquiry wins a disproportionate share of them. Most teams lose on this not because they are slow to care, but because enquiries arrive outside the hours anyone is working.
WHAT IT'S FOR
Enquiries are most valuable in the first few minutes. Their value then drops quickly.
Enquiries arrive at night, at weekends and during peak periods when nobody is free.
The first reply is a generic acknowledgement that starts no conversation.
Missed calls and abandoned forms are logged rather than worked.
Firms contacting a lead within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to qualify it as firms waiting one hour longer (Harvard Business Review, 2011). Speed to lead statistics
