Speed to lead: why the first 5 minutes decide the sale
When someone raises their hand for your coaching, they are never more ready to buy than in that first moment. Wait three hours to reply and they've cooled off — or booked with a coach who answered first.
The data is brutal: reach a lead within five minutes and they're up to 21 times more likely to convert than if you wait an hour. Most coaches reply in hours, if at all.
You don't have to live on your phone to win this. One automation sends an instant, personal-feeling reply the second a lead comes in — and hands them a link to book while they're still hot.
Set it up once and it runs forever. Same leads, far more booked calls, zero extra effort from you.
