Alex Hormozi Just dropped a bomb on LinkedIn. A sales rep he talked about is closing leads at 55%. Let that sink in. In a world where most great closers hover around 30%, this guy is destroying the industry average.
What’s his secret?
He’s got a dedicated person whose only job is to call leads within 60 seconds of submission. That’s it. No multitasking. No distractions. Just immediate follow-up. And it’s working like a money-printing machine.
The Harsh Truth About Closing Rates
Most sales reps? 20-30% close rate.
Great closers? Maybe 40%.
If you’re struggling to close deals, the problem isn’t necessarily your pitch. It’s your timing.
Speed wins. Every. Single. Time.
Why Immediate Follow-Up Is the Ultimate Cheat Code
Leads are only hot for a few minutes. Here’s why:
- Attention is fleeting. Five minutes after submitting a form, people are already forgetting why they did it. Wait an hour? You’ve lost them.
- Emotion drives buying decisions. A lead reaches out because they feel the problem. Hit them before that feeling fades.
- Fast response = trust. The first company to reach a lead usually gets the sale. That’s not a theory—that’s consumer psychology.
Every minute you wait, your close rate plummets.
The Smarter Way to Follow Up Instantly
Hiring someone to sit by the phone 24/7 and call leads within 60 seconds is genius. But you know what’s even smarter? Not needing a person at all. AI can do it faster, cheaper, and better.
Let’s get real—most businesses are missing out on a goldmine of leads because they only follow up on form submissions.
But what about the thousands of people who visit your site and never fill out a form?
AI-powered visitor tracking changes the game.
This tech doesn’t just show you numbers—it identifies actual visitors, giving you names, emails, and phone numbers for 45-60% of them. Yeah, even the ones who didn’t submit their info. It’s like Google Analytics on steroids.
Now, pair that with AI-driven outreach, and you’ve got a 24/7 sales machine that:
- Identifies your best leads automatically.
- Sends personalized outreach instantly.
- Follows up until they engage.
- Never sleeps. Never forgets. Never slows down.
A human rep costs $60K a year to do this. An AI-powered system costs 10x less and never stops working. No weekends. No sleep. No sick days. And no mistakes.
The Future of Sales: Adapt or Get Left Behind
AI isn’t coming—it’s already here. The businesses winning in 2025 will be the ones using immediate, AI-driven, personalized follow-up.
If you’re still relying on slow, manual outreach, you’re bleeding revenue.
Find the right tools. Build your system. Automate lead capture and follow-up.
Because the company that responds first, wins first.
