Most leads don't die in the consultation. They die in the silent week after the enquiry, when nobody followed up. In this episode, Andy from Antek Automation breaks down exactly where small firm pipelines leak between enquiry and reply, the rhythm that closes that gap, and the simple changes that turn cold leads into booked clients. Practical, no-hype, and built around what actually works in small service firms and small law practices.
