# The Importance of Quick Responses

Interest is fragile. Demand moves fast.

## What a Message Means
Buyer already chose your car. Speed > persuasion.

## First Reply
Fast = professional. Slow = uncertain.

## Buyers Move On
They contact multiple sellers simultaneously.

## Trust Before Words
Acknowledgment beats perfect-but-late answer.

## Perceived Value
Slow replies lower perceived car value.

## Compounding Effect
Speed → more viewings → shorter decisions → less price pressure.

## Consistency
Reliable 1-hour window beats sporadic instant replies.
