Why We Built Autophone

The problem that drives us every day

The $10 Billion Problem

60%

of fitness leads never get called back

4+ hours

average time to first contact

80%

of leads go cold within 1 hour

We saw an entire industry losing billions in revenue to a completely solvable problem. That's why we built Autophone—to make sure no fitness business ever loses another lead to slow follow-up.
