Speed to lead: how commercial finance brokers convert more enquiries
A good lead is only half the job. The other half is what your team does in the first few minutes. This guide covers the processes we help brokers put in place at no extra cost.
Why the first minutes matter
A business owner who has just submitted an enquiry is at their desk, thinking about funding. The longer you wait, the more likely they are busy, distracted or talking to someone else.
Processes that lift pickup rates
Small changes to how leads reach your team make a large difference.
- Route every lead straight into your CRM in real time
- Alert the assigned broker instantly by phone notification
- Call first, then follow with a text naming the broker
- Retry at set intervals across the first day
Collecting documents sooner
Deals stall when bank statements and accounts arrive slowly. Send a clear document checklist and a secure upload link during the first call, then chase on a fixed schedule.
