What the missed calls cost.

Industry studies put the share of unanswered small-business calls above half. Every one is a customer who called ready to buy. Four numbers from your week, and this shows what that leak costs — and where the breakeven sits on fixing it.
$— walking away, per month
$— per year

The arithmetic, in the open

Missed calls per month × your close rate × your average job = revenue that dialed your number and hung up. No dark patterns in the math — it assumes missed callers would have closed at your normal rate, which is conservative for urgent trades (a burst pipe doesn't leave a voicemail; it calls the next number).
The fix is usually boring: a text-back within seconds, an answering flow that books directly onto your calendar, follow-up that actually happens. We build these from $5,000, run them from $500/month — the breakeven line above is computed against that. studio@anchor163.com

Common questions

Missed calls per month × close rate × average job value. A business missing 40 calls a month with a 30% close rate and $400 average job is walking away from roughly $4,800 a month.
An automatic text-back within seconds of a missed call, followed by an answering flow that books appointments directly. Managed automations of this kind run from about $500/month, which breaks even after recovering a handful of calls.
