CallEmBack answers your missed calls for $49/mo — about 2% of what they're costing you.
How the math works
Missed calls per week × the share that would have booked × your average job value. That's it. We deliberately keep it conservative: the calculation ignores repeat business and referrals, so the real cost of a lost customer is usually higher than the number above.
The "would have booked" presets come from industry close-rate data for inbound calls — a caller who dials a service business is a high-intent lead, not a browser. For time-critical trades (locksmiths, junk removal, emergency plumbing) the share is higher because callers buy from whoever answers first.
How to stop the leak
Count your missed calls, set conditional call forwarding, and make sure something other than voicemail answers — 86% of callers hang up on it. CallEmBack gives every missed call a live AI receptionist that takes the job details and hands you a warm lead. See how it works or view pricing.
