Lead Generation Companies Are Finally Responding Faster to Their Leads: Latest XANT Research Shows
LAS VEGAS – March 19, 2013 – XANT, the leading provider of sales automation and analytics for inside sales professionals, today announced the web-based lead response results of the attendees of LeadsCon 2013. The rankings were announced by Ken Krogue, President and co-founder of XANT, at the LeadsCon show in Las Vegas at the Mirage Hotel during his keynote presentation.
Comparing the results from a benchmark study completed in 2010, attendees of the show responded an average of 39 hours faster. In 2010, LeadsCon attendees responded in 56 hours and 5 minutes compared to 2013 where attendees responded on average in 17 hours and 17 minutes, with the fastest response being 12 seconds.
“It’s exciting that companies are beginning to see the importance of quickly responding to web-generated leads in order to increase contact and qualification rates,” Krogue said. “When we pioneered the lead response with Dr. James Oldroyd when he was at MIT, he showed a lead has a 100x higher chance of being contacted and 21x higher chance of qualifying if contacted within 5 minutes compared to just 30 minutes. While LeadsCon attendees still have room for improvement, these companies are certainly moving in the right direction like never before.”
The top 50 companies with their response times and response attempts are listed below:
