Here's what the research says about what happens every time your phone goes unanswered.
77% of customers expect an immediate response when calling a business. Nearly 80% say the phone is still their preferred way to reach you.
Even 30 missed calls per month can translate into $25,000 to $75,000+ in annual revenue exposure, depending on your industry and average job value.
High-value service industries including HVAC, plumbing, restoration, legal services, and medical aesthetics lose the most revenue when calls go unanswered.
Calls are missed because staff are helping customers, owners are on job sites, calls arrive after hours, or multiple callers ring at the same time.
When a potential customer calls your business, they are often ready to buy right now. If the call goes unanswered, most will immediately call your competitor. The window is minutes, sometimes seconds.
