Missed-call cost calculator for contractors
Short answer: Missed calls x share that would have booked x your average job = jobs lost. Enter your own numbers below to see what unanswered calls cost you each month and each year.
The defaults are examples. Use your own numbers: check your phone's missed-call log for a normal week, and use your real average ticket.
How to stop losing those calls
- Text every missed caller back within a minute so they do not call the next company.
- Put a call button and a quote form on every page of your site.
- Answer the questions people ask before they call, on the page, so the ones who do call are ready to book.
Missed-call text back is included in our $297 a month plan.
Questions
How many calls do contractors miss?
It depends on the business. Check your own phone log for a normal week; that number is the one that matters.
What share of missed calls would have booked?
Use your own close rate on calls you do answer. If you do not track it, start with a cautious guess and adjust.
Does a missed-call text actually help?
A fast text gives the caller a reason to wait for you instead of calling the next company. How much it recovers depends on how fast you follow up.
