After 5 minutes, the odds of contacting a lead drop by 10x. Most service businesses take 4+ hours to reply. Here's what that looks like: ### The 5-Minute Window 78% of clients choose the business that responds first. After 5 minutes, the odds of contacting a lead drop by 10x. Every slow reply is a lost deal. ### The Silent Leak Every missed lead costs you thousands in potential revenue. Most business owners don't even know it's happening — the leads just disappear into the void. ### The Manual Trap You spend 8+ hours a week on admin, follow-ups, and chasing cold leads. That's time you're not spending on appointments, closings, and actually serving clients. ### The New Reality Speed is the new currency in service businesses. The business that responds first wins the client. Period. - 78% of prospects go with the first responder - Average business response time: 4+ hours - Your competitor responds in 5 minutes. Do you? --- ## How We Fix It — Capture → Respond → Convert ### Your website looks good but delivers nothing Leads come in from your website, social media, ads — and disappear into email. We rebuild the front door so every single inquiry is captured instantly, from every channel, into one system. ### You reply when you can. Your competitor replies now. The 5-minute window is everything. We install instant, personalized responses that go out before the lead has even closed the tab. No more lost leads to slow follow-up. ### Follow-up is where deals are won. Or lost. Most business owners follow up once, maybe twice. We automate persistent, intelligent follow-up until the lead books an appointment or opts out. Your calendar fills itself. --- ## The Outcome — Every Lead Contacted in Under 5 Minutes Three measurable results: ### Response Time From hours to under 5 minutes. Every inquiry gets an instant, personalized response — before your competitor even checks their inbox. Before: 4+ hours → After: <5 minutes. ### Follow-Up Rate From random manual follow-ups to 100% automated sequences. No lead slips through the cracks. Every prospect gets nurtured until they book or opt out. Before: ~30% → After: 100%. ### Booked Appointments More appointments from the same lead volume. When response and follow-up are handled, your calendar fills itself. Result: 3x more booked appointments. --- ## How It Works — Three Steps ### Step 01: Capture (Automatic) Every inquiry from your website, social media, ads, and lead channels is captured instantly into one system. No lead falls through the cracks. ### Step 02: Respond (< 5 minutes) Each lead gets an instant, personalized response. Before they've even closed the tab, you've already made contact. ### Step 03: Convert (Ongoing) Automated follow-up sequences nurture every lead until they book an appointment or opt out. Your calendar fills itself. --- ## Packages ### Respond — Never Miss a Lead Again Instant lead capture and automated response for every inquiry.

Yes. Speed-to-lead is the single biggest conversion factor in service businesses. 78% of prospects go with the first business to respond. We make sure that's you — every time. The system captures inquiries from all your channels and responds instantly. ### How much does it cost? Every project starts with a free strategy call where we map your current lead flow and show you exactly where you're losing deals. The investment depends on the scope, but consider this: if the system saves you just one lost deal, it's already paid for itself. Every project includes our 90-day performance guarantee. ### How is this different from a CRM? A CRM stores contacts. We build the system that captures, responds, follows up, and books — without you lifting a finger. It works alongside your existing CRM, not instead of it. ### What's the 90-day performance guarantee? If your new system doesn't show measurable improvement in response time, follow-up rate, or booked appointments within 90 days, we keep working at no extra cost until it does. ### How long does it take to go live? Most systems are live within 14 days. We move fast because we use proven playbooks built specifically for service businesses. ### Will this work with my existing tools? Yes. We build on top of your existing setup — your website, your lead channels, your CRM. No rip-and-replace. --- ## About Hipodo Hipodo builds automated lead capture and follow-up systems for service business owners. We solve the #1 revenue leak in service businesses: slow follow-up.
