Receiving a lead who doesn’t respond can be discouraging, but it’s important to keep in mind a few potential reasons behind the lack of engagement and how you can effectively follow up.
Reasons for Lack of Response
At Voolt, the lead information we provide, including phone numbers and email addresses, is submitted directly by the leads themselves. While we strive to ensure the accuracy of this information, occasional typos or errors may occur. Unfortunately, we are unable to prevent such issues at this time.
Additionally, some leads may be in the early stages of their decision-making process, such as price comparison or information gathering. As a result, they may not be ready to commit to a service immediately.
What You Can Do
If you're not getting a response right away, don't be discouraged. Here are a few tips to help you follow up effectively:
- Follow Up Multiple Times: Persistence is key. Sometimes leads are busy or may have missed your initial outreach. Reaching out more than once at different times may increase your chances of making contact.
- Utilize Multiple Communication Channels: If you’ve initially reached out by email, consider following up with an SMS or phone call. Different prospects may prefer different methods of communication, so providing multiple touchpoints can increase your chances of a response.
- Create a Sense of Urgency: Consider offering a limited-time promotion or special offer. Creating a sense of urgency can encourage leads to act sooner and can be an effective way to prompt a response.
Remember: The key is to stay proactive and follow up consistently. Lead response times can vary, but persistence and flexibility in communication often lead to better results. If you ever need assistance or tips on how to approach leads, feel free to reach out to us—we’re here to help!

I jumped on the lead as soon I got it's notification. Reach out by SMS, phonecall, and email. The number that came with the lead does not belong to the name on the lead, the email address belongs to someone else also. In the past, whenever I get a lead from my website, and if it's legit, the phone number of the lead I called will answer the phone and let me set up an appt with them.
