How Do I Build a Revenue Acquisition Flywheel to Eliminate Sales Leaks?
You're a dentist. Or a medspa owner. Maybe you run home services or a law firm. You get inbound leads from ads, SEO, or referrals. But most leak out before they book.
Why? Slow responses. Forgotten follow-ups. No reviews. Zero referral systems.
Most operators chase more leads. Wrong move. Fix the leaks first. Build a Revenue Acquisition Flywheel. It captures leads, converts them, collects reviews, and compounds referrals. Automatically.
No new staff. No complex tools. Just math-driven revenue recovery.
Tykon.io does this. But first, understand the leaks. Then build it right.
The Three Sales Leaks Every Service Business Has
Leaks aren't feelings. They're math. They cost you 30-50% of potential revenue.
Leak 1: After-Hours Lead Loss
70% of leads hit after 5 PM. Weekends too. Your team logs off. Leads go cold.
Harvard Business Review data: Response in 5 minutes? 21x more likely to book. One hour? 7x drop. Five hours? Dead.
Dentist spends $500 on Google Ads for one lead. It texts at 7 PM. No reply. Gone. That's $500 lost. Times 20 leads a month? $10,000.
Leak 2: Under-Collected Reviews
You book a client. They love you. But no review.
Reviews drive 15-20% of new leads for service businesses. Google My Business, Yelp. Higher ratings = more calls.
Most collect reviews manually. Staff forgets. Clients ghost. Result: Stagnant profiles. Fewer leads.
Math: One extra review per week compounds. Improves ranking. Adds 5-10 leads monthly.
Leak 3: Unsystematic Referrals
Happy clients don't refer automatically. You ask once. Maybe they do it.
Referral value: 3-5x lifetime value of cold leads. Cost? Zero acquisition.
No system = no referrals. Leaky flywheel.
| Leak | Monthly Cost (20 leads @ $500 CAC) | Fix Time |
|------|-------------------------------------|----------|
| After-Hours | $7,000 | Instant AI |
| Reviews | $3,000 (lost leads) | Automated prompts |
| Referrals | $10,000 (compounding) | Systematic engine |
| Total | $20,000 | Flywheel |
