Insight

How much is a missed call costing your business?

Missed calls don’t show up on a P&L — but they’re one of the most expensive leaks a business has.

The simple maths

Take your missed calls per week, multiply by the share that would have become customers, and multiply by your average order value. Even a handful of missed calls a week can add up to thousands a year — often more than an answering solution costs many times over.

It wastes your ad spend, too

If you pay for ads or SEO to make the phone ring, every unanswered call is money you spent to reach a customer you then lost at the finish line.

Frequently asked questions

What percentage of callers leave a voicemail?

Most don’t. A large share of callers who reach voicemail simply hang up and call the next business, so a missed call often means a lost customer.

How do I stop missing calls?

Have every call answered — an AI receptionist answers 24/7 on the first ring, so you never rely on voicemail again.
