Missed call calculator

What your missed calls are worth, worked out from your own numbers.

No industry averages and no borrowed statistics. Put in three numbers from your own business and see what unanswered calls cost you a week, a month and a year.

Your business, three numbers.

The starting numbers are examples, not industry figures. Replace them with yours. A careful guess is fine.

10 missed a week × 30% would have booked × $400 a job = $0 a week

This is arithmetic on the numbers you enter, not a forecast. A month is counted as 52 weeks divided by 12. Nobody wins every call they answer, so treat the result as the size of the problem, not a promise of what an answering system brings back.

Finding your numbers

Ten minutes with your call log beats any industry average.

A stock statistic describes somebody else’s business. These three come from yours.

01

Count the missed calls

Open your phone log or carrier app and count last week’s calls that rang out or went to voicemail. Do it for two or three weeks if you can.

02

Estimate how many would have booked

Think about the calls you do answer. Out of ten real enquiries, how many turn into a job? Use that share, and leave spam and wrong numbers out of it.

03

Use your real average job

Take last quarter’s revenue from new customers and divide it by the number of jobs. That is a better number than a guess at your biggest job.

Questions

About the math.

Why does this calculator not use an industry average?

Because most of the missed-call statistics that get quoted cannot be traced to a primary study, and none of them describe your business. Your call log, your close rate and your average job are more accurate than any of them.

Is the result what a voice agent would earn me?

No. It is the value of the calls you are missing today, which is the size of the problem. How much of it comes back depends on your market, your prices and how well the calls are handled. We will not promise a recovery rate.

How do I hear what an answered call would sound like?

Call (832) 660-0658. That is our own voice agent answering our own line. Yours would be trained on your business.
