  • Speed to lead

    The median minutes from a new lead to the first action on it, the share handled within an hour, and how many are still waiting.

  • Close rate, honestly

    Won quotes divided by quote appointments actually held, split by rep, by in person or phone, by source and home or commercial.

  • Who answered

    The lead desk shows who took each lead and how many they booked, so you see which phones turn calls into appointments.

  • Money and what's owed

    Collected, invoiced, average ticket, money per truck per day, and what's owed by age with each payer's days to pay.

  • Crew results

    Jobs done, on time, plan visits done, callbacks, reviews asked for and labour hours, per crew.

  • Click any number

    Every figure opens the records it was built from, and the count always matches the list.

The first report in Birdy is speed to lead: how fast your office answers a new lead. Reports show your speed to lead (the median time from a lead arriving to someone acting on it), your close rate by rep, and what you've collected and are still owed. Every number opens the actual leads, jobs or invoices behind it.

What is speed to lead and why does it matter?

Speed to lead is how long a new lead waits before someone at your company responds. Homeowners asking for a quote often ask more than one company, and the one that calls first gets the first conversation. For an office with several people on the phones, it is also the number that shows whether new leads are falling between them.

Birdy is built around it. Three things work together today:

  1. The age on every lead. Each card on the lead pipeline shows how long it has waited ("12 min", "3 h") and turns orange when it needs a push.
  2. The Lead not answered alert. When a new lead waits 15 minutes (you choose 5 to 120) with nobody acting on it, the assigned person and the office get an alert.
  3. Speed to lead in Reports. The Sales report's Timing section shows the median and the share within an hour for the range you pick.

Work out what slow answers cost you with the speed to lead calculator, and read the speed to lead guide for how to bring it down.

How is speed to lead measured?

For every lead that arrived in the date range, Birdy measures the minutes from the lead being created to the first time someone on your team acts on it. The report shows the median, so one lead that sat over a holiday weekend doesn't swamp the rest.

Someone opening the lead to look at it

Counts?
No

So the habit that keeps the number honest is simple: when you call a new lead, tap Called.

It is clock time, not business hours, so a lead that comes in at 9 PM counts its night. Next to it you see "X% within an hour" and how many leads are still waiting, plus lead to booked and booked to won in days. A sales rep sees their own figure. The owner sees the company's.

Coming next

A live timer on each new lead and a speed-to-lead strip across the top of the board are coming, so the number is in front of the office all day, not only in Reports.

How do I see close rate and average ticket by rep?

One sentence first, such as "Last 30 days: 64 quote appointments, 41% closed. In person closes 52%, phone 28%." Then close rate, dollars won and average ticket, and tables underneath.

  • Reps by in-person quotes, phone quotes, all quotes and dollars won.
  • Source: which lead sources close, not just which ones send leads.
  • Home and commercial side by side.
  • Lead desk: who took each lead and their booking rate (owner and office only).
  • Option picked: how often customers choose Good, Better or Best.
  • Lost reasons by count and dollars.

Close rate is won quotes divided by appointments actually held, so no-shows and cancellations don't flatter it.

Questions

Does Birdy track speed to lead?

Yes. Reports → Sales shows the median time from a new lead to the first action on it, and the share within an hour. Each lead card shows its age, and a Lead not answered alert goes out after 15 minutes by default.

Is speed to lead measured in business hours?

No. It is clock time from the moment the lead was created, so evenings and weekends count.

Does an automatic email count as responding?

No. Only a step a person takes on the lead counts: marking it Called, moving it, booking an appointment, sending a quote or marking it lost.

Can sales reps see the whole company's numbers?

No. A rep sees their own sales report and their own commissions. The owner decides whether the office sees sales and margins.

Can I export reports?

Yes. Every tab exports to CSV, and every number opens the list of records behind it.
