70% of leads that land in your funnel never get a real follow-up. Not because your team is lazy — because the gap between "interested" and "replied to" is too wide for humans to close fast enough.
This audit shows you exactly where your funnel is leaking. And what to plug first.
If you find 3 or more leaks — your funnel is costing you real revenue every week.
If you're not following up within 5 minutes of a lead coming in, you're losing them to whoever replies first.
Response rate drops 80% after the first hour. Most businesses reply in 6–18 hours.
43% of leads come in outside business hours.
If you're relying on a human to reply, those leads are cold by morning.
Most sales teams give up after 1–2 follow-ups. Most deals close on follow-up 5–8.
If your sequence has 2 touchpoints, you're stopping before the sale starts.
Email open rates: 20–30%. SMS open rates: 98%.
If you're only following up by email, you're reaching one in five leads.
Unqualified leads eat your team's time.
If your funnel isn't asking the right questions upfront, you're booking calls with people who can't buy.
Every extra step between "interested" and "booked" costs you conversions.
Three clicks to book is three too many.
80% of leads that don't buy immediately are still in-market 3–6 months later.
