First quote in the customer's hand wins the job.
Excavation contractors who get an estimate to a homeowner within 24 hours close roughly 50% more bids than contractors who take 3+ days. Same job, same price, same crew — different speed. Plug in your current cycle and see what shaving it down is worth.

Method: close rate is modeled as a function of cycle time using industry-observed multipliers — same-day response ≈ 2× current close rate, 24-hr cycle ≈ 1.5× current, 3-day cycle ≈ baseline, 7+ days ≈ 0.6× baseline. Capped at a realistic 70% close rate ceiling (no contractor closes 100% even on instant quotes). Numbers are estimates — actual lift depends on your job mix, lead source quality, and how aggressively your competitors price.
