# What does a missed call cost?

Work out what the calls you don't get to mean for your revenue, using your own numbers.

A missed call doesn't appear on your bill. But if the customer calls someone else, the job is gone. You can work out what that means using your own numbers.

## The calculation

-

### How many calls do you miss?

Count the missed calls in a normal week in your call log, and multiply by four.

-

### How many of them were new jobs?

Not every call is a customer who wants to buy. Estimate from your own experience how many usually are.

-

### How many don't call back?

Some call back, others find someone else. You know your customers best.

-

### What is a job worth?

Use your average price for a job or a visit.

Missed calls × share of new jobs × share who don't call back × value of a job  gives you an estimate of what missed calls cost you each month.

There are no shared figures that fit every industry. Use your own, and the answer is one you can trust.

## How to miss fewer calls

- Forward when you can't get to it.  The call moves on instead of ringing out.

- Let something answer the phone.  A colleague, an answering service or an AI that can answer and book.

- Call back quickly.  A message with name, number and reason makes that easy.
