Missed call calculator
Customers go with whoever gets back to them first. A missed call, or a text or email you answer three hours later, is often a customer for your competitor. Put in your own numbers to see what missed and slow replies cost you.

£0How it works out
Calls, texts and emails a day × the share left unanswered or waiting over an hour × the share that become customers × what a new customer is worth × 260 working days gives the year; divide by 12 for the month. It doesn't count repeat business or referrals, so the real figure is often higher.
Win the jobs you're already getting calls for
The best lead is someone who's already ringing you. Customers ring two or three businesses and book whoever answers first, so calling back at 7pm is often too late. The AI Front Desk answers straight away and books them in, so the job's yours before you ring back. It doesn't replace you: pick up yourself and nothing changes, it only takes the calls you can't.
Free for a week. If it doesn't win you a job you'd have missed, just stop.

Questions
I already answer all my calls, do I need this?
If you really do pick up every call, nothing changes: The AI Front Desk only takes the ones you can't. But when you're with a customer or on a job, people ring the next business, and calling back that evening is often too late. The AI Front Desk answers straight away and books them in, so they're already yours. Try it free for a week and see if it catches any you'd have missed.
Does The AI Front Desk find me new leads?
No. It makes sure the leads you already get, the people already calling, texting and emailing you, don't go to someone else.
How much does a missed call cost a small business?
It depends on how many calls you miss, how many of those are new customers and what a customer is worth. A trade business getting 8 enquiries a day, leaving 2 in 10 unanswered or waiting, where 3 in 10 become £250 customers, loses over £30,000 a year.
Do people call back if I miss their call?
Many don't. Someone looking for a plumber, a physio or a salon often calls the next business on Google.
How do I stop missing calls?
Answer every call, or have something answer for you. An AI receptionist like The AI Front Desk picks up every call, text and email, 24/7, and books the customer in.
