The age of “we’ll get back to you shortly” is over.

In 2025, customer expectations have shifted 7 minutes is now the new gold standard for response time in enterprise CX. Whether it's support, lead follow-up, or account management, customers want instant answers and action.

Why 7 Minutes Matters More Than Ever

Studies show that response time is directly tied to:

  • Customer retention

  • Lead conversion

  • Satisfaction and loyalty scores
