Why This Matters
Most leads contact 3–5 providers.
If your response lands 30 minutes later, they've already:
- ✔ Booked someone
- ✔ Lost interest
- ✔ Forgotten you
Speed is the close-rate multiplier.
LeadDuo ensures your phone buzzes the moment the form is submitted — so you respond while the person still wants to talk.
