Why people prefer web forms over calls and why you should call them anyway

View profile for Sammy James

Why People Fill Out Web Forms Instead of Calling – And Why You Should Call Them Anyway A prospect lands on your page. • They see your phone number. • They see your contact form. • They choose the form. Most businesses assume: • “They don’t want to talk.” • “They just want an email.” • “They’ll call when they’re ready.” Wrong. Why do people fill out web forms instead of calling? • They assume calling means waiting on hold. • They prefer to control the interaction instead of being put on the spot. • They expect a fast response—not to wait hours or days. But here’s the thing: • Call immediately—most leads are happy to talk because they’re already in buying mode. What’s the takeaway? • Call leads within 60 seconds. • The faster you respond, the higher your conversion rate. • Be the business that calls first. You’ll win.

There is this theory: If you call right away, the prospect may consider you are not busy with some other clients, that your calendar is empty. How do you see this?
