Lead Response Times Continue to Lag

A recent lead response test of over a thousand B2B sales teams revealed that the average time to respond to leads is over one day. Specifically, it took one day, five hours, and seventeen minutes for companies to follow up with interested prospects. This delay remains concerning in 2024 as potential buyers have likely moved on to competitors within just a few minutes of not receiving a response. To address this issue, automated scheduling solutions for qualified leads are suggested as a critical improvement for businesses.
