How much are missed calls costing you?
When you're under a sink or on a roof, customers don't leave voicemails—they ring the next tradesman on Google. See what that actually costs you:
How this is calculated: We conservatively estimate that only 40% of missed callers would have booked with you. Even at that low estimate, missed calls bleed significant cash.
