Quote Response Time Calculator

Compare the gross revenue implied by your current close rate and a change you want to test.

Response time alone cannot establish a sale probability. You choose the close-rate assumption. The starting values are illustrative.

Model a change in your quote process

A faster acknowledgement and a complete quote are different steps. Record the response time you want to improve, then use a measured or explicitly assumed close rate.

Context only. Changing this value does not change the revenue calculation.

Gross revenue is not profit. This assumes won work is delivered and paid at the entered value. It excludes delivery costs, discounts, cancellations, software and setup costs, tax and capacity limits. A close-rate assumption is not an AI performance guarantee.

How the calculation works

Expected weekly gross revenue = weekly enquiries × close rate × average won quote value. The difference between your two rates gives the incremental weekly scenario. Annual amounts use your chosen operating weeks, without rounding intermediate values.

A change from 22% to 30% is 8 percentage points. It is not an 8% relative increase. A lower assumed rate produces a negative revenue change. These arithmetic scenarios do not establish that response speed caused a change.

Validate the process with your own records

Track when each enquiry arrives, when a person or system first responds, when a complete quote is issued and whether the work is won. Compare similar enquiry types over equivalent periods. Allow time for quotes to close and check whether prices or lead sources changed.

An automation project can cover enquiry capture, routing and draft quotes. Define which prices require approval, how incomplete requests reach staff and who owns follow-up. Agree on response targets and verify them during a pilot.
