Slow replies
By the time someone gets back to an enquiry, the customer has often already spoken to someone else.
The Hockley Methods · Method 02
The Revenue Leak Method finds exactly where enquiries are being lost between first contact and the sale, then fixes it. Same marketing, same enquiries, more of them turning into paid work.
The problem
Most businesses spend their energy on getting more enquiries. But some of the biggest gains are hiding in the enquiries you already get, in how fast they are answered, how quotes are followed up and how easy you are to buy from. Sound familiar?
The money is not always lost in your marketing. Often it is lost after the phone rings.
By the time someone gets back to an enquiry, the customer has often already spoken to someone else.
Calls that ring out or go to voicemail are often never returned, and the customer simply calls the next business.
A quote is sent and then nothing. Without a follow-up, interested customers drift away.
Confusing pages, long forms or no clear next step mean visitors leave before they ever get in touch.

Yes. Many leaks are simply about time. The templates, scripts and process make it much easier to respond quickly even when you are busy on a job.
The first month finds and fixes the leaks. The next two show whether the fixes are working and let us refine them. Anything shorter does not give you reliable results.
You can continue month to month with your conversion report and review call, or keep everything we have built and run it yourself.
