Reading the result

This assumes late enquiries would otherwise close at your normal rate, which is generous. Some late leads still convert; some fast leads still do not. Use it to size the problem, then measure your actual reply times for two weeks.

See the evidence in our speed-to-lead statistics guide and how to fix it in lead response automation.

Common questions

What counts as a fast reply?

A personal, relevant reply within the hour during business hours is a practical target for most service businesses. An instant auto-reply helps, but it is not the same as a person engaging.

How do I measure my current reply time?

Pull the timestamps of new enquiries and first replies from your inbox, CRM or phone system for the last 30 days and compute the median.
