What are missed calls really costing you?
Most callers who reach voicemail do not leave a message. They call the next business. Move the sliders to estimate how much revenue unanswered calls cost you each month.
Two ways to stop losing these calls
- An AI receptionist that answers every call and books the job
- Missed call text-back that messages callers within seconds
Getting realistic numbers
Missed calls per week: check your phone system’s call log, or estimate calls that go unanswered after hours, at lunch and while you are on jobs. Many owners are surprised by the real number.
Booking rate: of the people who call, how many usually become customers when someone answers? For urgent services this is often high; for researched purchases it is lower.
Job value: use your average first job or customer value. If customers come back, the real lifetime value is higher still.
- Use last month’s call log if you can
- Be conservative with booking rate
- Remember repeat customers and referrals
Why do missed calls cost so much?
Callers looking for a service usually contact two or three businesses. If you do not answer, most will not leave a voicemail. They will book with whoever picks up first.
How accurate is this calculator?
It is an estimate based on your inputs: weekly missed calls × 4.33 weeks × booking rate × job value. Your call logs and booking data will make it more accurate.
How can I find my missed call count?
Most phone systems and VoIP providers show missed and unanswered calls in their call log. Your provider can also send a report.
What is the fastest fix?
Missed call text-back can be set up in days and recovers some leads immediately. An AI receptionist recovers far more by answering and booking in real time.
