What Happens to Your Leads After 5 Minutes

The average homeowner submits 3–5 quote requests when they need roofing work. They don't wait for you — they schedule with whoever calls first.

After 5 minutes, the homeowner has likely already spoken to a competitor. After 30 minutes, they've probably booked an appointment. After an hour, you're leaving voicemails that will never be returned.

This isn't about being pushy. It's about being first. The first contractor to make contact closes 78% of the time.
