Response Time vs. Lead Conversion Rate

Speed-to-lead research from InsideSales, Harvard Business Review, and HomeAdvisor is consistent: the window to reach a prospect is extremely narrow. Every minute of delay means dramatically lower odds of winning the job.

Response time Estimated conversion rate vs. <5 min baseline
Under 5 minutes ~35–40% Baseline (best)
5 – 30 minutes ~20–28% −30% vs. best
30 – 60 minutes ~12–18% −55% vs. best
1 – 4 hours ~7–10% −75% vs. best
4+ hours ~4–6% −88% vs. best
Next day or longer ~1–3% −95% vs. best

Data sources: InsideSales.com (5-minute response = 100× more likely to connect vs. 30 min); Lead Connect (78% of customers buy from first responder); HomeAdvisor industry research (42-hour average contractor response time). Calculator estimates are illustrative — actual results depend on market, service area, and lead quality.
