How Much Do Missed Calls Cost A Service Business?
A simple framework for estimating lost bookings, admin time, and why instant call capture pays for itself quickly.
A missed call is rarely just a missed conversation. In service businesses, it can be a missed quote, a missed booking, a missed repeat customer, or a lead you already paid to attract.
The simple missed-call maths
Start with four numbers: calls missed per week, average booking value, the percentage of missed callers who would have booked, and how many weeks you operate. Even conservative numbers usually show that one recovered job can cover the plan.
The hidden cost is trust
When someone calls, they are usually in decision mode. If the phone rings out, the customer does not know you were busy doing good work. They only know they did not get helped.
What Aroha changes
Aroha answers, qualifies, books or routes, then sends the owner a clear summary. The customer gets momentum and the business keeps the opportunity alive without hiring another person to watch the phone.
