Same Leads, Different Results

Imagine this:

You and your biggest competitor are both buying leads from the exact same source. Same targeting. Same homeowners. Same zip codes.

  • Your competitor follows up in 47 hours.

  • You follow up in under 60 seconds.

Who wins the deal?

Every. Single. Time.

This isn’t theory. It’s cold, hard data.

According to a landmark study by Velocify, contacting a lead within 60 seconds results in a 391% increase in conversion rate. Let that sink in. 391%.

The solar industry average response time? 47 hours. That’s two whole days of lead rot.

In other words: If you’re not first, you’re forgotten.

The Leaky Bucket You Can’t See

Let’s talk about your funnel.

You spend thousands generating clicks, form fills, and calls. But most of those leads leak out before your sales team ever gets to them.

They’re busy. They’re stuck on a roof. They’re calling someone back at lunch.

Meanwhile, the homeowner already got a call from the competition. They’ve moved on.

That’s why we built Alqemika.

Enter the AI Employee + Command Center

Alqemika installs an AI Employee inside your sales funnel. Here's what it does:

  • Instantly responds to new leads in under 60 seconds.

  • Qualifies them using smart questions.

  • Books appointments directly on your team’s calendar.

And all of it is tracked inside the Command Center, your real-time dashboard showing exactly what’s happening with every single lead.

This is not just automation. It’s a complete system to:

✅ Stop lead leakage
✅ Turn ad spend into booked meetings
✅ Give you back visibility and control

Why This Matters Now

The clock is ticking toward December 31, 2025—the end of the 30% Residential Solar Tax Credit.

The market is heating up. Homeowners are racing to lock in deals before the credit disappears.

But that demand surge? It’s overwhelming sales teams.

If you don’t solve your response speed problem this quarter, you risk watching your competitors eat your pipeline—with your own leads.

Simple Math:
  • Say you get 100 leads a week.

  • You respond to all of them in under 60 seconds.

  • You book 4x more appointments than the guy next door.

Same leads. Better system. Bigger revenue.

Is Your Unfair Advantage

You’re not going to win this game by working your reps harder.
You win by giving them better tools.

The 391% Rule isn’t a gimmick. It’s a weapon.

Let us show you how it works—in your business, with your leads, risk-free.
