Calculation: Calls/day × miss rate × 30 days = missed calls/month. Missed calls × close rate = lost jobs. Lost jobs × job value = revenue lost.
You miss a call during a job, after hours, or while the line is busy.
82% of consumers say an unanswered call sends them to a competitor, and only 42% leave a voicemail (CallRail, 2025).
Every missed call is a potential job lost. The cost compounds daily.

Every unanswered call is a potential customer choosing your competitor instead. For service businesses, the math is brutal: a single missed call can represent hundreds or thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
The problem compounds fast. Invoca's platform data puts the unanswered rate for home services businesses at 27% — and older mystery-call studies measured 62% across small businesses — while 82% of consumers say an unanswered call sends them straight to a competitor (CallRail, 2025). Over a month, that adds up to tens of thousands in lost revenue for most businesses.
