You Win the Job

The Math

Slow Replies Are Costing You Real Money

You don't need to take our word for it — the numbers behind a missed lead speak for themselves.

A simple example

Say your average job is worth $350, and you're slow to reply on just two leads a month because you were mid-job, on a ladder, or asleep. Here's what that costs over a year:

2 missed leads×$350 avg. job×12 months

Illustrative example based on a typical local service call. Your numbers will vary — the point is the same: a handful of slow replies adds up fast.

in jobs that went to someone who replied faster — often for less than the cost of FirstMinuteReply itself.

Why We Started This

It started with a call that never got returned.

We reached out to a local business because we were interested in what they offered. They seemed like a good company, and we were ready to become a customer.

The call went to voicemail.

No callback. No text. Nothing.

So, like most people, we called someone else.

That part bothered us.

They could have had our business. They didn't lose it because their work was bad or because their prices were too high. They lost it because we never heard back.

And honestly, we started noticing how often this happens.

A contractor is on a job. A plumber is under a sink. An HVAC tech is driving between calls. The phone rings, a message comes in, and there's simply no time to stop and respond.

Meanwhile, the customer is waiting.

After a while, they move on.

We thought there had to be a better way.

So we built FirstMinuteReply to help local businesses respond to new customer inquiries in under 60 seconds, even when they're busy doing the work.

Because sometimes, getting the job isn't about having the lowest price or the biggest company.

Sometimes, it's just about being the first one to say, “We got your message. We'll take care of you.”

We're based in Colorado Springs, and when you reach out to us, you're talking to real people, not a call center.
