Homeowners don't pick the best shop. They pick the first one that answers.
You already know the moment: the call comes in while you're halfway up a ladder, and by the time you call back, they've booked the other shop. The research says that moment happens constantly — and it compounds.
The odds of connecting
Respond within 5 minutes instead of 30, and the odds of actually connecting with that lead are 100 times higher.

Frequently asked questions
How is lead response ROI calculated here?
It's the revenue difference between your close rate today and the close rate you'd expect if you responded faster, both numbers you provide, multiplied by your leads per month and average job value. There's no assumed industry multiplier baked in, the estimate is only as good as your own two close-rate numbers.
How much does responding faster actually improve close rate?
It varies by business and industry, which is why this tool asks you to enter your own current and improved close-rate estimates rather than assuming a fixed number for you.
