Missed-call cost = missed calls per week × 4.33 weeks × the share of those callers who call someone else × the share who would have booked × your average job ticket. For example, 5 missed calls a week, half of whom call someone else, half of whom would have booked a $450 job, is about $2,400 a month in lost work.

How to get your numbers
- Missed calls: your phone carrier’s call log shows unanswered calls. Count a normal week, not your slowest.
- Callers who move on: people with a leak rarely wait for a callback. Use your own experience; we default to half.
- Average ticket: total invoiced last month divided by jobs. Your invoicing software or QuickBooks has both.
These are your assumptions, not industry statistics. PipedHQ’s AI front desk answers every call and text, and its dashboard shows the revenue from calls it booked, in dollars.
