What is Speed to lead?
Speed to lead is how quickly a business contacts a new enquiry after it arrives, and research consistently finds that faster follow-up converts better.
Leads cool fast: someone who filled a form a minute ago is paying attention, while the same person hours later may have moved on or spoken to a competitor.
Automatic calling removes the delay from team availability: the call can start within a minute of the form, at any hour that calling rules allow.
Common questions
- How fast should I call a new lead?
- As soon as possible, ideally within minutes. Within permitted calling hours, automation makes that realistic.
