Why worse businesses win (they follow up better)
The flawed belief: the best offer wins. It does not, if the buyer hears from someone else while you are still deciding whether to follow up.
The small commercial advantage nobody wants to admit
Worse businesses win because they are easier to buy from. They reply. They keep context. They ask a sensible next question. They stay in the conversation long enough for the buyer to make a decision.
Fix the gap, not the lead volume
Before you spend more on attention, trace what happens after someone replies. If the answer is a spreadsheet, an inbox and good intentions, the Conversation Gap is already costing you.
