Turn Every Lead Into a Booked Job — Without Adding Staff
Getting pest control leads is only half the battle — qualifying them fast is what turns spend into revenue. The data shows why: phone-based leads close at 38–45% compared to 8–15% for web form leads, and the average customer needs about 2.5 touchpoints before booking. Yet the NPMA's industry survey found AI has not yet been widely adopted for sales support, which means operators who move early gain a real edge.
