You're with a customer
On a job, in a chair or in a meeting, you can't pick up, and the caller tries the next business.

How much are missed calls costing your business?
Every call that goes to voicemail and every enquiry that waits too long for a reply can be a job that goes to someone else. Put in your own numbers for a rough monthly estimate. It runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Estimated lost revenue
$0/month
≈ $0 a year
If even half of those leads were answered and followed up, that could be $0/month back.

Rough estimate based on your inputs, not a guarantee.
The problem
Why calls and enquiries get missed
After hours
Evenings and weekends are when many people finally get around to calling or filling in a form.
Slow replies
Someone who contacts two or three businesses usually goes with whoever gets back to them first.
No follow-up
A quote or an enquiry goes quiet, and nobody checks in until it's too late.
Ways to fix it
How to stop losing those leads
Some fixes are free, some cost money. Pick what fits how your business works.
A better voicemail and a callback habit
Free: a short voicemail that says when you'll call back, and a fixed time each day to return calls. It helps, but many callers still won't leave a message.
Missed call text back
When you can't answer, the caller gets a text right away asking what they need, and you reply when you're free. See automated lead follow-up.
An AI receptionist
Answers every call you can't, takes the details and sends you a summary, day or night. See the AI receptionist, from $349 a month.
Follow-up on quotes and enquiries
Automatic, polite check-ins so warm leads don't go cold. See automated lead follow-up.

How the numbers work
A simple estimate, using only your numbers.
The formula
Missed leads per week × 4.3 weeks × the share you'd normally win × your average job or customer value. That's the monthly figure; the yearly one is that times 12.
The starting numbers
Picking an industry fills in an example job value and close rate so you have somewhere to start. They're placeholders, not data about your business, so change them to your own.
What it leaves out
Repeat business, referrals and reviews from those customers aren't counted, so a lost customer can be worth more than one job. Some missed callers would never have hired you anyway.
How to count missed leads
Check your phone's missed and unanswered calls for a normal week, plus form enquiries that waited more than a few hours for a reply. Your phone provider's call log often shows this too.
