A 21-day, fixed-price engagement that measures your lead response system, fixes it, and measures it again. Days 1–7: we audit every lead from the last 90 days — time to first touch, touches per lead, after-hours coverage, how many went dark, and whether your outbound calls are landing as "Scam Likely." Days 8–17: we fix it. Days 18–21: same instrument, new number. You keep the written standard your team follows and whatever the reactivation brought back.

Under sixty seconds. Five-minute responders close around 21%. Day-later responders close 2.3%. In home services, 88% of responses take longer than five minutes — which is why the first company to call back usually wins the job, regardless of price or quality.

Six. The average business makes 1.3 attempts. That gap is where most of the money is.

Carrier networks flag numbers with poor calling reputation. If your number is flagged, your callbacks don't get answered — you're paying for leads and then getting screened out of your own follow-up. Number reputation cleanup is part of the 21 days.

$6,500–$9,500. Fixed price, fixed scope, fixed end date. No hourly billing.

It won't fix your positioning. It won't build your pipeline. It won't get the business out of your head. That's Gear 1 of the Authority Operations System. There are four more. This is the one that pays for itself and buys you room to fix the rest.
