BookedBack calls every new lead fast and follows up until they book. You pay only when they show up.
What is speed to lead?
Speed to lead means contacting a new lead as fast as possible after they reach out. The faster a firm responds, the more likely that person signs.
Most personal injury firms miss this window. Staff is busy with live calls, paperwork, or court prep. A new lead waits hours, or never hears back at all. BookedBack closes that gap with fast, persistent, multi-channel follow-up: AI voice calls in allowed windows, then email and iMessage, until the lead picks up or opts out.
How does speed to lead work?
A new lead comes in. BookedBack takes it from there in four steps.
More on why the first minutes decide the case in our speed to lead guide for law firms.
How much does it cost?
You pay per qualified appointment that shows up, typically $50–$300. No software fee, no setup fee, no annual contract. Cancel by text.
A signed personal injury case is worth $15,000 to $80,000 to your firm. At $50 to $300 per appointment that shows up, one signed case covers dozens of appointments.
Your first appointment is free, and a pilot covers roughly 100 contacts over about four weeks, nothing upfront.
Why does responding first matter?
The firm that contacts a lead first signs them most of the time.
Call a new lead within five minutes and you are up to 21x more likely to reach them than at 30 minutes (Lead Response Management study, reported by HBR). Responding quickly can raise conversion up to 400% (Clio). Firms miss about 35% of inbound calls. About 30–50% of leads are lost to slow follow-up.
The lead does not wait. They call the next firm on the list while yours is still getting back to them. BookedBack delivers fast, persistent, multi-channel contact so you are the first firm to actually connect.
Speed to lead vs the alternatives
Four ways firms try to reach new leads fast. Here is how they compare.
| Approach | Who does the work | What you pay | Typical outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| BookedBack | We do it. Fast, persistent, multi-channel: AI voice, email, and iMessage. | Per appointment that shows up, between $50 and $300. First appointment free. Nothing upfront. | ✓ Every new lead contacted fast. Qualified leads booked on your calendar. |
| In-house intake | Your front desk, between live calls and everything else. | Salary, whether or not anything books. | – One or two attempts per lead. The list drops when the day gets busy. |
| Answering service | A third-party agent reading a script. | Monthly flat fee or per-minute charges. | – Live call answered, but no follow-up, no qualifying, no booking. |
| DIY follow-up | You or a paralegal, manually. | Your time and staff time. | – One channel, inconsistent cadence, hard to scale past a few leads a day. |

What results should I expect?
Across warm-lead campaigns, we book 5 to 8 consults per 100 leads worked. 40–60% of dialed leads pick up early, 20–35% of those reached qualify, and 60–75% of qualified leads book.
On a new-lead list, that turns into steady booked appointments instead of a stack of missed calls. BookedBack runs live pilots and shares the real numbers from your own leads as they come in.
Results depend on your lead quality and case type. These are typical benchmarks, not a guarantee for any specific firm.
Is AI calling my leads legal under the TCPA?
Yes, with the right guardrails. Ours are built in from day one.
- TCPA-aware calling windows, DNC scrubs, CAN-SPAM-compliant email footers, and messaging from verified email and iMessage accounts.
- You review and approve the script before any outreach goes out.
- Anyone who says stop, "remove me", or "do not call" is taken off the list right away.
- Voice calls are capped at three attempts per lead, with spacing between each one.
Compliance handled.
