How long does it take you to reach back out to a lead?

Facebook. Text message. Phone call. Email. Your website. A form. However they reach out.

How long before you reach back out to them?

It should be instant

It should be instantly. Less than 60 seconds, at least.

Somebody is on your website. They're on Facebook. They're scrolling. They see your information and they click.

Do you let them wait three minutes? Five minutes? Ten? Thirty? An hour?

Really?

They've already gone on with their life. They forgot about you by then.

Why I build the system

That's why I build systems and processes and put them in place. When somebody reaches out to your business, they get contacted back immediately.

Is it an AI agent? Yeah. It sends an email in your voice. They get a text message. They might even get a phone call.

Does it matter that it's an AI agent? Or does it matter that your leads, your prospects, the people who want to do business with you, get a response right then?

That's what's important.

If you don't think it matters

If you don't think it's important, that's why you're losing in business.

Or you've got people in place underneath you who know it's important and they're just not telling you.

What I said (RYAN STATEMENT)

From the video, in my own words:

  • "How long does it take you once a lead reaches out to you either on Facebook, text message, phone call, email, website, forms, however it may be."
  • "It should be instantly, alright, in less than 60 seconds at least."
  • "Do you let them wait three minutes, five minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour? Really? They've already gone on with their life, they forgot about you by then."
  • "Which is why I build systems and processes and put them in place just like this, so when somebody reaches out to your business, they get contacted back immediately."
  • "If you don't think it's important, that's why you're losing in business."

Sharing this is the biggest help. Put it in front of one more person.
