How this calculator works
This tool estimates revenue loss based on three factors: number of incoming leads, response speed, and follow up rate. Faster response increases contact rate. Higher contact rate leads to more closed deals. Slow response reduces reachable leads and lowers booked revenue.
Formula: leads × follow up rate × contact rate × close rate × job value. The gap between ideal and actual results is your lost revenue.
Why lead response speed matters
Businesses that respond within minutes reach significantly more prospects. Delays of hours or days reduce connection rates sharply. That means fewer conversations, fewer booked jobs, and measurable revenue loss every month.
- More speed increases contact rate
- More contact creates more booked jobs
- Consistent follow up captures missed opportunities
