What Happens When You Actually Look at What Went Quiet.

Six firms. Different sizes. Different teams. Different CRMs. Different countries. Same gap.

Most mortgage brokerages believe their follow-up is working.

The CRM has notes. The team is busy. Enquiries are being worked.

But when we actually looked — really looked — at what was happening to enquiries after the first touch, we kept finding the same thing.

Conversations that should have happened. Did not.

Not because the leads were bad. Not because the team was bad. Because at volume, follow-up relies on memory and individual discipline. And that breaks quietly.

Where It Started

We started with two deeper diagnostics.

Before we built the 10-day test we ran longer re-engagement sequences on dormant leads with two established UK brokerages. Leads that had already been worked, logged and written off.

Both firms had functioning CRMs. Both had experienced teams. Both believed their pipeline was clean. It was not.

That is when we built the 10-day test.

The 10-Day Test

300 enquiries. 10 days. Just a CSV.

No CRM access. No integration. No changes to anything. Here is what happened when four firms tried it.

Same CRM. Same team. Nothing changed. The only difference — those enquiries were actually taken through to a real conversation.

Conversations held per 300 enquiries. Every time.

Six firms. Different sizes. Different teams. Different CRMs. Different countries.

Not bad leads. Not bad advisers. A coverage gap.
