lost every year
Assumes a missed call would have booked at your close rate. A ballpark; your numbers will vary.
The tax isn’t one big hole. It’s a hundred small ones.
Across 640+ local businesses, the same four leaks show up every month, and together they swallow more than a quarter of every shop’s inbound calls. Each one has a price tag, and none of them appear on a P&L.
After-hours calls that roll to voicemail.
62% of after-hours callers hang up without leaving a message. They call the next business on Google within 4 minutes.
Lunch, dinner & the drive between jobs.
The dead window from 11:30–1:30 and again at 5:30 is the second-largest cluster of inbound calls, every single day.
Calls you answered but didn’t book.
You took it on a job. You couldn’t see the calendar. You said “I’ll call you back.” You didn’t. They booked someone else.
Spanish-speaking callers, English-only voicemail.
In Phoenix, Houston and San Antonio, 18–36% of inbound. Most businesses route those callers straight to voicemail.
That’s the bill your phone runs every month.
Not theory: these are the splits from owners who ran the calculator above, then ran the trial.
