What is 'speed to lead' and why does it matter?

Last updated 2026-07-13

Answer

Speed to lead is how fast you contact a new lead, and it's one of the biggest factors in whether they book. Research popularized by Harvard Business Review found leads contacted within five minutes are far more likely to convert than those contacted 30 minutes later. Automation makes minute-one contact possible without adding front-desk work.
