Recent research by the esteemed Harvard Business Review revealed some quite startling statistics that business managers really need to take note of. The research was into how quickly companies respond to online requests, and the review audited more than 2,200 companies in the US to get the results that would paint a true picture. Have you ever looked in detail at your response times? If not, we can assure you that you need to, and the numbers uncovered in the Harvard review may come as a shocking to many.

For example, consider this: what would you guess was the average response time across those companies audited? An hour, perhaps, or a couple of hours? Get this – it was an astonishing 42 hours! Here’s another: a quarter of the companies audited took more than 24hours to reply, and almost a quarter never replied! Why is this important? Quite simply, every lead has a short shelf-life, and if you don’t get back to them quickly, somebody else will. We are sure you will agree that you simply cannot be lax when it comes to treating enquiries with care, and that’s where timetoreply can help.
