How to use the result

If the cost of a missed call is small, you may not need anything yet.
If it is large, even a modest win-back rate can cover a monthly plan.
For recurring work such as lawn care, pool service or pest control, use the value of a customer over a year instead of one visit.

Common questions

How do I work out what missed calls cost my business?

Multiply your missed calls per week by the share that were real jobs, by your average job value, by 52. The calculator on this page does it for you with your own numbers.

Is the result accurate?

It is only as accurate as the numbers you enter. Use a normal week from your own call log and a typical job value, and treat the win-back share as a guess.
