The ROI of Voice-Qualified Leads — Why Human Outreach Isn’t Dead

Written By Debbie Huang

Introduction

Automation has taken over sales — from AI emails to chatbots. But here’s the reality: in high-trust industries like mortgage and B2B, human interaction still wins. Buyers want a real conversation before committing. That’s where voice-qualified lead gen comes in.

💬 Why Voice Matters

A recent Salesforce study found that 78% of buyers expect more personalized engagement — and 2 out of 3 say they feel more confident after a live call than after reading online info.

What voice outreach does better:

  • Builds rapport and answers objections in real-time

  • Screens out time-wasters and tire-kickers

  • Converts faster and creates better show-up rates

💸 Voice vs. Traditional Lead Gen

While voice leads cost more upfront, they convert faster and waste less time — leading to higher ROI overall.

Conclusion
