Quote operations, not elapsed waiting time
LeadSync measures active work: preparing requests, chasing suppliers, consolidating responses, re-entering data and updating customers. Supplier response time is reported separately and never multiplied into labour cost.
What the Calculator Shows
The quote-delay cost calculator gives you an indicative view of hidden labour expense. Enter the active minutes your account executives spend re-keying details or chasing updates for education connectivity quotes, and set a target response time that would suit your sales cycle. The tool applies the server‑controlled 2026 National Living Wage floor of £12.71 per hour and multiplies it by your estimated volume of quotes per year. It does not treat supplier elapsed time as paid labour – only active staff minutes coun...
Why Education Quotes Drain More Than You Think
Education procurement can be especially slow. Multi‑academy trusts and maintained schools often require detailed, site‑specific quotations for broadband, VoIP or leased lines, and supplier turnaround can stretch across weeks. Your account executive may spend 20‑40 active minutes per quote resubmitting data or clarifying points. Multiply that across 50 or 100 bids a year, and the lost paid time becomes a direct hit to profitability. The calculator lets you model those costs objectively, without guessing.
From Delayed Quoting to a Faster Channel
Once you’ve run the cost calculator, you can view a live, supplier‑backed annual connectivity price inside your free MSP account. This is not a simulated result – it reflects a real quote, returned through a streamlined process that cuts the waiting period your team normally endures. Because the price is expressed per annum, you can compare it directly with the labour cost you’ve just calculated. No supplier names appear on the public page, and no one sees your data. It’s a practical way to test whether a faster q...
No double counting
Direct administration cost, addressable cost, recovered capacity, pipeline exposure and confirmed loss are separate. They are never added into one headline.
