Missed calls becomebooked patients.

When the front desk can't pick up, ZinqLeads texts the patient back within about 30 seconds, works the conversation toward a booking, and logs your estimated booked value. Your team just taps to confirm.

Done-for-you setup, live in about 7 days. You approve every message until you switch on auto-send. GDPR-aware from day one.

Missed call · 10:42

Hi Sarah, sorry we missed your call. Is this about an appointment, or do you need help with something urgent?

My tooth is killing me and painkillers aren’t touching it.

I’m sorry you’re in that much pain. I’ve flagged this urgent and alerted the practice team now.

Thank you. I can get there today.

Perfect, the team will call shortly to confirm the first emergency slot.

Speed wins the patient.

Most patients ring the next practice on the list when nobody answers. The research is blunt: the value of an enquiry decays by the minute.

The 5-minute rule

Reply to a lead within 5 minutes and you are 100 times more likely to reach them, and 21 times more likely to qualify them, than if you wait half an hour.

4x

The 10-minute drop

Wait just 10 minutes to get back to a new enquiry and your odds of qualifying that lead fall fourfold.

1st

First reply wins

When no one picks up, most patients simply ring the next practice on the list. The one that replies first usually wins the booking. Not the cheapest, the fastest.

The questions everypractice asks first.

Messages use your tone, your availability, and your rules. The patient sees a helpful reply from the practice they called, not a chatbot, a call centre, or another piece of software to learn.

Knows a toothache from a check-up

Severe pain is flagged urgent and your nominated contact is texted within seconds; red-flag symptoms get NHS-aligned signposting. It never diagnoses; it reads urgency and gets the right people moving.
