Missed-call math

What a missed call actually costs.

Every ring you don't answer is a job that goes to the next shop. Punch in your weekly call volume and the percentage that go to voicemail, and we'll show you the revenue that walks out the door at the average ticket value this whole site is quoted around.

Worked example

The math, in three numbers.

The same inputs the corner-of-the-page "recovery card" on each trade page describes — now editable so you can put your own numbers on the line.

Recoverable revenue / month

$27.43k

24 missed calls per week × 4.33 weeks × 55% close rate × $480.00 per booked job. The Holdfast invoice is a flat retainer plus a small per-booked-job bonus; the takeaway on the audit calls only ever invoices against what the calendar confirms.

Numbers are a worked illustration, not a guarantee. The audit fills the same inputs from your last quarter of calls and tickets.

Next step

Put your own numbers on the audit.

A 20-minute audit uses ten of your recent inbound calls and your last quarter's ticket values to fill the same table for your shop — no install, no commitment. The figure above is the upper bound; the audit nails it down.

What the math assumes
A 55% close rate on every recovered call.
  1. 01Missed calls are calls that didn't reach a live person on the first ring.
  2. 02Average ticket mirrors the $480 mid-band the landing page already publishes.
  3. 03The 4.33-week month converts weekly volume into a monthly recovery number.

Numbers are a worked illustration, not a guarantee. The per-shop ROI report ties the same line items to actual booked invoices at the end of every billing week.
