Speed to Lead Calculator
In service businesses, whoever replies first usually wins the job. Enter your lead volume, average sale and how fast you typically respond to estimate what slow follow-up is quietly costing you every month.
This is your assumption, not our claim. The default is conservative. Whoever replies first tends to win the job, but the exact multiplier depends on your market, so set it to whatever you actually believe and read the result accordingly.

Frequently asked
Why does response time matter so much?+
Because someone requesting a quote is usually contacting several businesses at once, and they are most interested in the minutes right after they hit send. The company that replies while that intent is still hot tends to win a disproportionate share of the work, often before the others reply at all.
What counts as a fast response?+
Minutes, not hours. Replying within about five minutes is the widely cited benchmark for service businesses. An hour later you are usually competing against someone who already spoke to them, and the next morning the job is frequently gone.
Where does the uplift number in this calculator come from?+
It is an assumption you control, not a claim we are making. The default is deliberately conservative and you can adjust it to match what you believe about your own market. The calculator is meant to show you the shape and rough scale of the problem, not to produce a precise forecast.
How do I actually reply faster without watching my phone all day?+
You automate the first touch. An instant automatic reply confirms you received the request within seconds, and every lead from every source lands in one inbox that alerts you immediately, so nothing waits unseen while you are on a job. That is a system, not more discipline.
