Nate Tilley says following up on leads after five minutes kills about 80% of them. He's worked with over 450 business owners and seen companies waste paid-for leads by waiting too long to contact prospects.
Over 450 business owners.
Within the first five minutes.
80% of leads.
About 20 leads.
I've worked with over 450 business owners, and the number one mistake that they all make is not following up with their leads fast enough, waiting the next day to follow up. And actually, a new stat from Harvard Business Review shows that if you're not following up within the first five minutes, you're gonna lose 80% of your leads. Which means if you get a hundred leads and you take longer than five minutes to follow up with them, you're only gonna get in contact with 20 leads, and the 80 leads that you paid for are just a complete waste.
