Financial Services Firms Are Losing £756K Annually to Poor Enquiry Handling

Every missed or delayed enquiry is lost revenue. I help financial advisers, wealth managers, and IFAs automate enquiry response so you never lose another client to slow follow-up.

Based on firms receiving 100 enquiries per month with poor enquiry handling

The £756K Problem Every Financial Services Firm Faces

A potential client fills out your enquiry form at 8pm on Tuesday. You're with clients all day Wednesday. By Thursday afternoon when you finally respond, they've already booked with a competitor who replied in 2 minutes.

This happens more often than you think. According to the 2025 Professional Services Client Journey Report by insight6, financial services firms scoring below 80% on enquiry handling are 30% less likely to convert opportunities.

For a typical financial services firm handling 100 enquiries per month, this costs £756,000 annually in lost revenue. That's based on an average client value of £2,500 and 30 missed opportunities per month due to poor enquiry handling.

Can your firm afford to lose three-quarters of a million pounds every year simply because enquiries sit unanswered?

Automate Enquiry Response, Recover Lost Revenue

I help financial services firms respond to every enquiry in minutes, not days

Instant Response

  • Every enquiry gets personalised response within 2 minutes, 24/7
  • Capture lead details whilst they're hot
  • Book initial consultations automatically

Intelligent Follow-Up

  • Automated follow-up sequences that feel personal

More Conversions

  • Typical improvement: 20-40% increase in conversion

Most clients see ROI within 2-4 months. For a firm losing £756K annually, even a 50% improvement means £378K recovered revenue.
