Want to Increase Leads? Stop Missing Phone Calls

Your business relies on leads, but if you miss phone calls, you’re missing leads. You might think voicemail is enough and that customers will come back, but most people don’t leave messages, causing you to lose your leads.

Missing calls could be hurting your bottom line. You might not realize it until you stop missing calls, but there’s business out there that you could have, and it’s time to stop missing the opportunities.

Why Missed Phone Calls are Bad for Business

A missed phone call may not seem like a big deal, right? The caller will call back later, and you can resume business, right?

Wrong.

Here’s what usually happens when you miss phone calls.

First, leads usually go to your competitors. When a lead calls you, it’s because they want to learn more about your business. They may want pricing, more information, or to make a sale. If you don’t answer the call immediately, they will likely move down the list to the next company that meets the requirements. They don’t have time to wait.

 

Next, you likely miss the opportunity to make the appointment. When leads call, they do so because they are interested in what you offer. If you answered the call immediately, you might be able to make the appointment. However, not answering the phone puts a gap in the time the lead was interested in what you offer, and if you talk to them again, you might not get the appointment because the interest is no longer there.

 

Finally, you may miss the chance to make the sale. You don’t know when leads are calling to close the deal and make the sale. Not answering their call gives them more time to think about it and back out or go to someone else. Once they give someone else the sale, the lead is as good as gone.
