👀 Interesting stats: Small business websites serve as a critical interface between companies and potential customers. Lead Ferno conducted a research study around critical contact form issues that impact lead generation for 225 small businesses in home service, professional service, or medical industry. [Read here: https://buff.ly/3VWAAFF ] 👀 Many leads are missed, lost, and not followed-up on: 👉 42.6% of our submitted contact form leads didn’t receive a single response. 👀Business fail at “speed to lead” with slow response times: 👉First human replies to contact form leads averaged 17 hours and 49 minutes. 👀Lead follow-ups fall flat: 👉65.9% of leads responded to only received one response from the business. The lack of any additional follow-up after one attempt greatly limits the chance of closing the lead. 👀Communication from the business is too focused on one channel: 👉71.3% of all lead responses used just one channel to reply. Whether it was only phone calls, only email, or only text, the majority of businesses didn’t diversify contact channels to engage the lead.
