Speed-to-Lead Quick Fix
78% of new leads choose the first business that replies. This quick fix ensures you never miss out, every inquiry gets a response and a clear next step within 60 seconds.
Why Speed-to-Lead Matters
- Leads are 21x more likely to convert when contacted in the first 5 minutes.
- Most small businesses wait 12–48 hours to respond, by then, the lead has moved on.
- Instant replies build trust and position you as the most professional option.
The Fix
We’ll set up a simple automation that:
- Captures every inquiry (from your site form, FB/IG lead ad, or landing page).
- Instantly sends a reply by SMS + email within 60 seconds.
- Routes them to your calendar so they can book a call, trial, or intro session immediately.
What You’ll Need
- Your existing CRM or booking system (we’ll work with whatever you already use).
- An SMS/email sending tool (we’ll plug this in for you).
- A calendar link (Google Calendar, Calendly, Acuity, or inside your CRM).
Implementation Steps
- Collect the lead: Connect your form or lead source to your CRM.
- Trigger automation: New lead event → send instant SMS + email.
- Insert your calendar: Add your booking link directly in the message.
- Test it live: Submit a test lead and confirm reply under 60 seconds.

Pro Tips
- Keep the first message short and focused only on booking the next step.
- Use both SMS + email, SMS gets the fastest response, email gives them details.
- Set up a backup notification so you (or your staff) know if a lead doesn’t book right away.
