The 15-Minute SDR Problem: Why Emails Are Burning B2B Leads
In modern B2B sales—especially in high-growth markets like India, UAE, and Southeast Asia—email responsiveness is dying. According to Harvard Business Review research, sales teams that contact prospective leads within 5 minutes are 21x more likely to qualify the lead than those who wait 30 minutes.
Yet, the average B2B enterprise using Salesforce takes 42 hours to respond to a webform submission. By the time a sales rep manually assigns the lead and sends an intro email, the prospect has already spoken to 3 competitors.
