How much could slow lead response be costing you?

Use your own enquiry volume, response time, deal value and close rate to estimate the opportunity, in about ninety seconds.

Lead-response research consistently points to a speed advantage, but headline figures vary by sample and market. One recent B2B benchmark of 939 companies reported a 47-hour average response time for that sample; it is not a universal average for every business. This calculator does not assume your response time or apply third-party multipliers to your revenue. It uses the numbers you enter.

Evidence note. The classic five-minute contact/qualification figures and the first-responder statistic on our evidence page come from secondary reporting, not primary studies we have independently verified. The 47-hour figure is contextual: a 2026 B2B benchmark reports it for its own 939-company sample. See sources, provenance and limitations.

What is it costing you?

Four numbers. Nothing is sent anywhere — the arithmetic runs in your browser.
