Velocify analysed nearly 3.5 million leads across hundreds of firms: 93% of leads that converted were contacted within six or fewer call attempts. Separately, InsideSales reported 1.3 average call attempts across 7,960 companies in 2008–2012. These are different samples and do not show that six calls will convert an arbitrary lead.
