We analyzed thousands of interactions across SMS, email, web contact forms, and lead sources (Google/Thumbtack/Angi) to determine the most decisive factors that lead to higher conversion rates.The results are clear: replying fast wins significantly more jobs.

  • Replying within 5 minutes → 35–41% conversion rate
  • Replying after 1 hour → drops to 13–16%
  • Waiting 24 hours → only 2–6%

That means you lose up to 600% more opportunities just by being slow, no matter the lead source.

Where do you stand compared to the competition?

Must pros want to respond quickly to leads, but lack the operational processes and technology to do so consistently.

Here’s the reality:

  • 47% of service pros take longer than 10 hours (on average) to reply to a lead
  • 81% take longer than 5 minutes
  • 97% take longer than 1 minute

You reach the top 3rd percentile  of businesses by answering 1 minute

💡 But, that’s nearly impossible to answer every call so fast manually. The top businesses are using automations and AI to answer every incoming lead within 60 seconds. Early adopters are pulling ahead and every day without AI answering pushes you further behind.
