You’re not alone if your client follow-up process feels like a game of whack-a-mole. Every day, you juggle dozens of inquiries across different time zones, languages, and channels — but how many actually convert?
According to HubSpot’s 2024 B2B Sales Trends Report, only 17% of inbound leads are contacted within 1 hour. That means most opportunities slip away before they even get a chance to breathe.
