Generating leads in India isn’t cheap. Whether it’s Facebook ads, Google campaigns, or influencer collaborations — you’re spending hard-earned money for every enquiry. On average, a single lead can cost anywhere between ₹200–₹1,000 depending on your industry. But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
More than 70% of leads never reply back. Not because they were fake. Not because they weren’t interested. But because you responded too late.
The Golden Hour: Why Speed Matters!
Research shows that businesses responding within the first 60 minutes are 7x more likely to qualify a lead than those who respond after 24 hours. Now, think about this in the Indian context:
-A student enquires about coaching at 11:00 AM. By 12:30 PM, your competitor has already sent them a WhatsApp message with course details and an offer.
-A family looking for a flat fills your real estate form at night. By the time your team calls the next day, they’ve already booked a site visit elsewhere.
Every hour you delay is not just time lost — it’s business lost. The Hidden Cost of Slow Replies
Let’s put numbers to it: Suppose you generate 500 leads per month at ₹250 per lead. That’s ₹1,25,000 spent. If slow responses cause even 60% of leads to go cold, you’ve just lost ₹75,000 worth of potential customers — every single month.
This is not a lead quality issue. It’s a system issue.
Why Customers Don’t Wait
Today’s customers expect instant engagement. They don’t pick up unknown numbers but they do reply to WhatsApp messages. They don’t want to wait for a “sales call tomorrow.” If they don’t hear from you, they move to the next option — usually your competitor. In short: The fastest business wins.
