In this brief monologue, Kelly Alhooie advises that paid advertising should only be used for clients who can answer incoming phone calls quickly—ideally within 60 seconds and preferably within 5 seconds. She cites a statistic that failing to answer within about 5 seconds results in an 80% chance of losing the lead, even if the prospect has completed a form on the ad. Consequently, running ads without rapid call response wastes ad spend.

Another external thing. Again, I talked about social media. I talked about workshops. Another external factor that you can do besides social media is you can do ads. Ads I recommend only for the clients that are ready for it, meaning that they can answer the phone in less than 60 seconds or less. Otherwise, you're wasting money on ads. There are stats that if you cannot answer your phone in less than, um, 5 seconds or less, there's an 80% chance that you will not get that lead, even if they filled out a form on your ad and everything. So that means you're wasting money.
