Speed Kills… and Saves Deals: Why Fast Follow-Ups Close 50% More MCA Deals
🚨 The Hidden Revenue Killer: Slow Follow-Ups
In the MCA world, every minute counts. Brokers often focus on lead generation or negotiating better terms, but overlook the silent killer in their business: slow response time.
Here’s the truth:
50% of MCA deals are closed by the first broker who responds.
Yes, HALF.
If you take longer than 5 minutes to follow up, you’ve already lost ground — even if you have the best offers or rates.
🧠 Why Speed Wins in MCA Brokerage
1️⃣ Speed Builds Trust
People equate fast responses with professionalism.
👉 Quick follow-up = "This broker is sharp, reliable, and ready to help."
2️⃣ Speed Controls the Conversation
The first broker to contact a lead sets the tone and can guide the client’s expectations — often making other brokers feel like "second choices."
3️⃣ Speed Stops Lead Leakage
In a competitive market, leads shop around fast. If you’re not top of mind, you’re out of mind.
📊 The Cost of Being Slow
Imagine this:
-
You generate 100 leads per month.
-
50% are lost because of slow follow-ups.
-
If your average commission is $2,500, that’s $125,000/month lost revenue.
Over a year? $1.5 million gone.
And that’s assuming only HALF your leads drop off — reality could be worse.
⚡ Top Brokers Know: Automation = Speed = Revenue
The #1 difference between top-performing brokers and the rest?
They don’t follow up manually.
They use CRM automation to:
✅ Auto-respond within 1-2 minutes
✅ Send emails & SMS simultaneously
✅ Track deal stages
✅ Keep clients warm — without lifting a finger
That’s why they close 30% to 50% more deals.
