Missed Inquiries Are Costing You Clients: The Game-Changing Power of Responding in 5 Minutes or Less

Learn how SwingMatch helps golf coaches convert more inquiries into bookings through instant notifications and streamlined scheduling.

Updated over 2 months ago

Did you know that responding to client inquiries within just five minutes can make a massive difference? According to a study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a 5-minute response time is:

  • 5 times more effective than a 10-minute response, and

  • 100 times more effective than a 30-minute response.

Why it Matters

Fast responses dramatically boost contact and conversion rates with up to 391% higher lead conversions by responding within 5 minutes instead of the next day.

Think about it—how many times have you shared your contact info only to be met with silence? Or maybe you’ve followed up with an inquiry and never heard back. This can be frustrating for clients eager to book their next lesson, and it’s a missed opportunity for your business.

Meeting Modern Expectations
Today’s golfers are used to on-demand experiences like booking a ride or ordering takeout with just a few taps. Shouldn’t booking a golf lesson be just as simple and accessible? Quick, consistent responses create a seamless experience for potential clients, making it easy for them to say “yes” to their next lesson.


For example, one instructor shared how a client booked a lesson at 2:33 a.m. - a sales conversion that may not have happened without a digital booking option.

That’s exactly where SwingMatch comes in.
