Responsiveness Matters

How long does it take your team to respond to an inbound inquiry?Building Responsive Sales Teams eBook

In a recent IDC survey, only 34% of B2B companies could respond to an ROI inquiry from a prospective customer in less than 4 hours. Yet the odds of a lead entering the sales process, or becoming qualified, are 21 times greater when contacted within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes after the lead was submitted. (Kellog/MIT 2007, Olroyd)

95% of buying cycles begin with a Google search, not with a call from a sales rep, yet very few B2B companies are capable of responding to the inquiry within 5 minutes. Responsiveness matters, in fact it's a distinct competitive advantage.
