The cost of a missed call for a service business
Type your own four numbers and the page works out how many jobs and how many dollars go to someone else each month when a call reaches voicemail. Nothing is pre-filled: every field starts blank, the numbers are yours, and the arithmetic runs in your browser with nothing sent anywhere.
How this is worked out. Jobs lost per month equals calls per week times the voicemail share times the book-elsewhere share times 52 divided by 12. Dollars lost per month equals jobs lost per month times average job value.
If that number is worth fixing, the missed-call receptionist answers the calls you can't pick up. It asks the caller what the problem is, where the job is and when they need someone. It doesn't book appointments or send texts yet.
What this number is, and what it is not
It is an estimate built from the four numbers you typed, nothing more. If your calls per week or your voicemail share is a guess, the result is a guess of the same size. Change one input and watch the result move to see which of the four matters most for you.
It is not a measurement of any business, and it is not a claim about yours. We have not counted your calls and we do not know your job value. The page holds no figures of its own and sends nothing anywhere; the only numbers on it are the ones you put in.
What the missed-call receptionist does
Every missed call answered and qualified
The missed-call receptionist answers the calls you miss and asks the questions that tell a real job from a wrong number. Text-back and booking are not live yet. It is 149 dollars a month, with the first month at 49 dollars; after-hours coverage is priced on a call.
Several locations, a call center, or anything larger than one business line is a conversation instead of a price: book thirty minutes.
