The Reality of Inbound Sales: Speed to Lead Dictates Revenue

Studies by Harvard Business Review show that vendors who respond to inbound leads within 5 minutes are 100 times more likely to establish contact and 21 times more likely to qualify the opportunity compared to waiting 30 minutes.

Yet, over 70% of B2B and service companies fail to reply within 4 hours. Even worse, weekend and after-hours traffic is completely ignored.
