In other words, Sales and marketing are \u201cBirds of Same Feather\u201d. Without their proper integration, it becomes difficult to convert leads as the leads can easily&nbsp;fall through midway. Therefore, organization should pass proper process defining how and when leads are transferred, so that each team can focus properly and work with authentic coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Define-Proper-Parameters\">Define Proper Parameters:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By coordinating with your marketing team, you can identify what is a&nbsp;qualified lead based on demographics&nbsp;( statistical data) and their behaviour.

This mantra not only functions in day-to-day life but in Sales as well. Therefore, be your own competitor and push your limits to the extreme. If you try to constantly excel yourself, there is no one who can stop you. Try and establish authentic magnitudes on how quickly your sales team is following up on the qualified leads. After this, set short-term goals to minimize the time \u2013 frame. The closer a sales team can get to the 5-minute mark, they are surer to qualify and convert the leads into customers.\u00a0Using tools like transcription software for Mac can help speed up follow-ups by transcribing meetings and calls instantly, saving valuable time for your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Disciplinenbspyour-phone-follow-up\">Discipline&nbsp;your phone follow \u2013 up:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps this is the most important factor in curtailing your lead response time. The benchmark of calling every lead within 5 minutes is next to impossible. Statistically speaking, it takes about 7 dials before a sales person can make a success full contact. So to be realistic, plan well and plan ahead according to the priority and authenticity of the lead at your disposal. Moreover, you should have appropriate bandwidth to amalgamate all your &nbsp;needs and contact them well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this, if you want some inspirations on how to close leads, follow the famous speech of Alec Baldwin from the movie Glengarry&nbsp;Glenn ross and your phone will be on the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/motivational-videos-for-sales-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ALWAYS BE CLOSING<\/a>\u201d theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"AligningnbspCalling-Schedule\">Aligning&nbsp;Calling Schedule:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a famous saying in sales that \u201cTime of the day and day of the week matters\u201d. Therefore, ensure that your sales team has an authentic calling schedule so that they can call the leads at the most appropriate time. This process will enhance your \u201cHit- ratio\u201d and enable the sales team to generate more successful leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take some examples: Mondays and Tuesdays are not good days at all if you are going for the first meeting or doing your introductory call to your customer. Moreover, Wednesdays and Thursdays are considered as a better option with 3 \u2013 5 (which are the lazy office hours) the best time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider has-arrows-inside has-dots-inside has-images-center has-cropped-images\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__wrapper\" data-effect=\"slide\" data-slides-show=\"1\" data-slides-show-laptop=\"1\" data-slides-show-tablet=\"1\" data-slides-show-mobile=\"1\" data-slides-scroll=\"1\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-autoplay-speed=\"6000\" data-infinite=\"true\" data-animation-speed=\"800\" data-center-mode=\"false\" data-variable-width=\"false\" data-arrows=\"inside\" data-dots=\"inside\" data-spacing=\"none\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"547\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wsi-imageoptim-follow-up-1.png\" alt=\"follow -up 1\" data-id=\"1201\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/how-to-decrease-lead-response-time\/follow-up-1\/\" data-original-link=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wsi-imageoptim-follow-up-1.png\" class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__image wp-image-1201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wsi-imageoptim-follow-up-1.png 547w, https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wsi-imageoptim-follow-up-1-300x137.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"546\" height=\"232\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wsi-imageoptim-calling-schedule-1.png\" alt=\"calling schedule 1\" data-id=\"1200\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/how-to-decrease-lead-response-time\/calling-schedule-1\/\" data-original-link=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wsi-imageoptim-calling-schedule-1.png\" class=\"wp-block-getwid-images-slider__image wp-image-1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wsi-imageoptim-calling-schedule-1.png 546w, https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/wsi-imageoptim-calling-schedule-1-300x127.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Content-is-still-the-king\">Content is still the king:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A fast lead response doesn\u2019t solely depends on a quick successful call, you must have some relative content on your website.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/quotes\/207307-a-man-s-bookcase-will-tell-you-everything-you-ll-ever-need\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Walter Mosely once said<\/a>, &nbsp;&#8220;A man\u2019s bookcase will tell you everything you\u2019ll ever need to know about him&#8221;.
