How much is your business losing to missed calls?

Move the sliders to match your operation. Most SMB owners are surprised by the number.

Your operation

$350

One plumbing call, one dental patient, one accounting client, one real estate lead — whatever a new customer is worth to you.

25 calls

New prospects only — not existing customers calling back.

30%

After-hours, lunch, when staff are busy. Industry average is 30–40% for most SMBs.

65%

They called your competitor instead. Research puts this at 60–75% for service businesses.

Estimated monthly revenue lost to missed calls
$2,470

per month walking out the door

Missed calls / mo 108
Lost forever / mo 70
Annual loss $29,640
That's roughly 7 jobs/mo

At $350/job, recovering even half those calls covers most operating costs for an AI receptionist many times over.
